Wentworth Mansion
An architectural gem in historic Charleston
Built as an opulent 19th-century private residence in historic central Charleston, Wentworth Mansion combines period grandeur with professional and attentive service. The spa with its vaulted ceilings and exposed beams offers a full range of pampering treats, the restaurant is one of the best in the region and the views from the rooftop cupola are stunning.
Period features throughout the property, including marble fireplaces, intricate woodwork, crystal chandeliers and stained-glass windows, create a refined and cosy ambiance. Enjoy Wentworth Mansion’s special touches such as complimentary hors d’oeuvres and wine each afternoon in the Harleston Parlor and complimentary port, sherry, and brandy in the evening.
Spend days discovering Charleston’s superb architectural heritage with its grand houses, elaborate wrought-iron balconies and expansive colourful gardens full of camellias, oleander and flowering magnolia. Return to Wentworth Mansion for a hot stone massage in the spa to relax those tired muscles. Then enjoy a delicious dinner in the restaurant, set in the original carriage house.
