“We absolutely loved our anniversary trip here! The service was impeccable, the wine and appetizers every night was a nice touch and gave us opportunities to mingle and meet other guests. The history and classic feel of the hotel was so unique and we enjoyed it. The room had a fireplace in the room and in the bathroom which was cool! The knowledge of the history from the staff was really impressive and we enjoyed hearing about it. We would absolutely come back. Circa 1886 was fantastic as well! Breakfast over there was amazing and dinner was wow!”

“My daughter and I spent a long weekend at the Wentworth. We had a wonderful time. Coffee and fresh pastries every morning. Wonderful made to order breakfast at the restaurant. Wonderful hors d’oeuvres and wine during social hour in the evening. The Wentworth is located just a 10 minute walk from everything we were looking for. Loved that the neighborhood was so quiet and safe. Every morning I walked to the wellness center to work out. I felt very safe the whole time. My daughter and I spent quite a bit of time in the garden outback. The view from the rooftop was incredible for both sunrises and sunsets. The staff absolutely went above and beyond. I will definitely be back.”

“Went away for the weekend and the stay was incredible. Even if you don't like historical buildings, this is a place to stay at least once in your lifetime. The rooms were nice and quiet. The service for everyone on staff was great. They were all super friendly and helpful. Their goal is to make your stay a happy one and it showed. The breakfast at Circa was phenomenal. I could eat their fresh pastries all day, everyday. The mansion is less than a 10 minute walk from King Street in a very quiet area. You can't go wrong with staying here.”

“Fantastic stay. Beautiful historic home with lots of character. While the hotel itself is lovely, the heart of the house is the staff. Incredibly kind, thoughtful, and engaging. The daily happy hour is so nice. The appetizers with your choice of wine is great and gives guests an opportunity to visit with other guests. We will definitely be staying there again!”

“The historic Wentworth Mansion is truly like taking a step back in time. It’s not only gorgeous, but their hospitality and service is second to none. We were welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne, but it didn’t stop there. The stay also includes an exclusive breakfast at Circa 1886 (complete with pastries & fruit on top of the entree you pick), & daily hors d’oeuvres with wine! It will be very hard to come visit Charleston & not stay here! 10/10!”
