Historical Hotel

The Westin St Francis on Union Square

The Westin St. Francis is the only hotel that actually sits on Union Square. The main building dates back to 1904, and many public areas boast the ornate columns, intricate woodwork and other design elements from this era. Perhaps the property’s most famous feature is its Magenta Grandfather Clock, a popular place for people to meet. Today the property comprises two separate buildings: the historic main building and a newer tower. Three on-site restaurants offer a host of dining options.

The Wentworth Mansion

The Wentworth Mansion Hotel is one of Charleston’s most unique hotels. Guests step right into America’s gilded age, when they stay in what was once an opulent private residence. The Wentworth Mansion Hotel greets guests with hand-carved marble fireplaces, Tiffany stained glass windows, intricate woodwork, and endless detailing.
