What locals are saying
Built in the 1880s for cotton merchant Francis Silas Rodgers, Wentworth Mansion is the rare Charleston property that earns its billing as the city's grandest inn without apology — original Tiffany-style stained glass, marble fireplaces, and Second Empire antiques do the talking. The daily rhythm of cooked-to-order breakfast at Circa 1886, afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres in the Harleston Parlor, and complimentary evening cordials in the Rodgers Library sets a pace that borders on theatrical, and most guests surrender to it completely. The one honest caveat: room size varies considerably, and the upgrade lottery can mean the difference between a sprawling suite with a jetted tub and a comfortable but noticeably tighter space.
