The Epicurean Escapes

In Charleston, every meal is an occasion worth celebrating.

The pulse of life in Charleston has always been connected to the kitchen, so it’s no surprise that many of the area’s top hotels extend their dedication to hospitality to the farm, sea, and table.

WENTWORTH MANSION

At Wentworth Mansion, a 21-room 1886 landmark where heirloom marble and crystal meet Gilded Age glamour, the dining scene matches the building’s refined architecture. The property boasts extravagant guest rooms, Tiffany stained-glass windows, hand-carved marble fireplaces, and the aptly named Circa 1886 restaurant. Located down a secluded lawn path, Circa 1886 specializes in elevated local classics and is widely regarded as the most romantic dining spot in town.

ZERO GEORGE STREET

All the ingredients of a delicious destination: five illustrious former residences connected by a central courtyard, modern (but not mod) tech-savvy rooms, and a home-away-from-home vibe that feels like staying in a stylish friend’s guesthouse. Beyond its amenities, it’s also a place where taste and taste go hand in hand, thanks to the Zero Restaurant + Bar, a deceptively tiny carriage-house kitchen where consistently delicious dishes steeped in local foodways are turned out.

MARKET PAVILION

Market Pavilion opened in 2002, but the venerable building dates back to the 1700s. The hotel runs its revered steakhouse, Grill 225, with the same dedication to old-world quality. White coffered ceilings and wood-paneled walls make the space feel special, while the atmosphere is alive with conversation and communion over plates of chophouse mainstays: gras, prime cuts, oysters rockefeller, and one of Charleston’s most expansive wine lists.
