About The Dewberry:

As a 2022 Condé Nast Traveler Gold List award recipient for Best Hotel in the World, The Dewberry is located in the heart of downtown Charleston, bordering Marion Square, just steps from the shopping and dining on King Street, Museum Mile and The Gaillard Center.

Offering 153 thoughtfully appointed rooms, world-class service and unparalleled views, The Dewberry occupies the former L. Mendel Rivers (circa 1964) federal building and pays homage to Charleston's century architectural splendor. The hotel is the result of owner John Dewberry's vision of "Southern Reimagined TM," which he developed over the course of an eight-year renovation and preservation of the building. The hotel features several event spaces along with the nationally celebrated cocktail program at the brass bar in The Living Room, the whimsical cocktail lounge Citrus Club, treatments at our urban oasis, The Spa, the curated boutique The Shop as well as The Fifth Avenue Club by Saks Fifth Avenue.
