This guestroom is a beautiful mansion, full of History and ideally located in the old town. The hosts are very nice and provided us with lots of information about restaurants and things to do in Charleston. We loved our suite on the second floor, the view and the furniture are awesome.

Charleston at it’s finest!! Such a life changing and luxurious experience! We stayed at 20 South Battery Inn for 2 nights. We were pampered and very well cared for. Wine and cheese in the evenings and a delicious breakfast as well. The staff were the kindest and friendliest ever. We took snacks with us to explore the city. Very comfortable and clean. We stepped back into the past and enjoyed a romantic weekend in beautiful Charleston. Right off the battery with an amazing view from the top floor. A must stay for a romantic weekend!

Wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. Old 1800s mansion at south edge of town. Feel like you’re stepping back in time, but with modern conveniences. All the rooms are exquisitely appointed, comfy beds, which many places have. What this place has that others don’t is you feel like you’re living in the antebellum era. The furniture the grandeur of it all. Staff was wonderful, with very bit of southern hospitality you’d expect. Location great, about a 15 min walk to most shopping and restaurants in town, and walking through the town was fantastic. 5 stars aren’t quite enough for this place.

This house is absolutely beautiful, full of charming details and antique decor that make it feel warm and special. The rooms are lovely and very clean. Parking is on the street with a permit, which was easy to manage. One of the best parts is that it’s just a 20-minute walk down beautiful Meeting Street to the heart of Charleston — a truly scenic and enjoyable stroll. What stood out the most was the amazing service from Richard and Abigail — they were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Non-alcoholic drinks were available 24/7, which was a great touch. Highly recommend!

Very romantic! Beautiful hotel built in 1843! Loved the personalized tour and view of the area from the library in the attic.

The beautiful historic mansion is a must visit! The staff are lovely and we really enjoyed our trip! The garden in the back is magical and the location is perfect for a walk by the water!

I just love this location. Easy walk to shops while staying in the most historical part of the city. Rooms are beautiful as is the entire hotel. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was excellent in helping choose restaurants etc. Definitely will stay here again when in Charleston.

This is a beautiful old mansion in the historic district. The location is great but it’s the staff and their true southern hospitality that made our experience here exceptional!! We were greeted with a tour and a wonderful evening charcuterie. Our room was large, clean and so comfortable!! Special shoutout to Richard for being such an amazing host! We would 100% stay here again!!
