Lovely hotel in the heart of Charleston
Pros:

Everything about my stay at the Dewberry was lovely. Friendly, accommodating staff. Beautifully appointed rooms. Comfortable beds. Central location that made it possible to walk everywhere. Fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies delivered to my room at 11pm. Would 10/10 stay here again.

Cons:

The fitness room doesn't have dumbbells or strength-training machines -- only cardio machines.

Wedding weekend at The Dewberry
Pros:

We stayed at the Dewberry for my daughter’s wedding. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and the service was exceptional. The Living Room was our preferred hangout and we loved being able to relax and grab a spectacular drink. Oh….and the cookies - MUST HAVE! Can’t wait to return!!

True gem in Charleston
Pros:

This hotel is a true gem. Stayed here for a girls weekend trip and it's within walking distance to many restaurants, cocktail bars, sights, etc. Staff was warm and welcoming, room was beautifully decorated, spacious bathroom, and comfy beds. The evening vibe at the lobby bar is hopping with activity, yet the same lobby is peaceful and comfortable in the morning where we ate our delicious breakfast. We tried the Citrus Club for a cocktail - what a view and also one of the best cocktails I've ever tasted. Friend appreciated the mocktail offerings. Would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

Design, Atmosphere, and Hospitality Executed Beautifully
Pros:

As someone in the architecture and design field, my stay at The Dewberry Charleston was incredibly inspiring. The hotel strikes a rare balance between timeless elegance and restraint, with every space feeling intentional and layered. The attention to proportion, materiality, lighting, and atmosphere is exceptional. Beyond the beautiful design, the hospitality and overall experience were equally thoughtful.

Beautiful hotel but mixed amenities
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, rooms and service. For the price though the gym is really bad and the in room hair dryer and vanity kits are poor quality.

A Property That Understands the Art of Restraint
Pros:

There are hotels that are beautiful, and then there are properties that understand emotional pacing, atmosphere, and restraint. The Dewberry Charleston belongs firmly in the latter category.

What continues to distinguish The Dewberry is not simply its design, but the discipline behind it. Nothing feels excessive, forced, or performative. The property allows texture, architecture, lighting, sound, and service to quietly speak for themselves, which is considerably more difficult to achieve than overt luxury.

As someone who studies environments professionally through photography and event documentation, I notice details many guests may overlook. The transition from the lobby into the living room spaces feels intentionally softened rather than abrupt. The seating arrangements encourage conversation without overcrowding the room. Even the lighting temperature throughout the property remains remarkably consistent, which subtly affects how relaxed guests feel within the environment.

The guest experience also feels exceptionally well-calibrated. Staff presence is attentive without hovering, polished without feeling rehearsed. That balance is rare.

One detail I particularly appreciated was how beautifully the property handles natural light throughout the day. Morning light feels calm and restorative, while evenings settle into a richer, more intimate atmosphere that translates exceptionally well for weddings, executive gatherings, and refined social events. Few properties transition emotionally from day to evening as gracefully as The Dewberry.

For couples considering wedding weekends or luxury events in Charleston, this matters more than people realize. A property should not merely accommodate guests, it should shape how they remember the experience emotionally.

The Dewberry does that exceptionally well.

Cons:

The rooftop bar situation where guests don't have automatic access over outsiders is unfair. Didn't know there were bikes accessible. Should be at least croissants available with coffee in lobby. They need decent local maps with interest points shown.

Excellent stay!
Pros:

We loved our stay at the Dewberry! We got the ride the bikes, eat at the Citrus Club and be driven to dinner both nights by the valet Volvo service. Beds were extremely comfortable and everything was clean! Would definitely stay again!

Valentines Day Getaway
Pros:

My Fiancée got me a stay at The Dewberry for Christmas because I walk about how much I love Charleston. She had never been and we went over Valentines Day weekend as a quick getaway. The Dewberry was wonderful, the main lobby/restaurant was beautiful, drinks were great, and it smells great. The room was amazing, giant shower and the bed was so comfortable. They offer a service with a partnership with Volvo where they will drop you off anywhere on the peninsula or one time during your stay you can borrow one of the cars for up to 3 hours, if there is a vehicle available. Granted it was February but the rooftop bar was so cool, if a little windy because of the time of year. We where in town during a wildlife event called SEWE, we knew nothing about it beforehand, but we had the privilege to get to see a couple of trainers release two falcons from the rooftop.

Good Hotel in Great Location
Pros:

Nice hotel in great location. Rooms are a bit on the small side but well-furnished. Valet Parking is outrageously expensive. Very quiet and very clean.

Exceeding (my rather high) Expectations
Pros:

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Dewberry in Charleston, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The design of the hotel is stunning, perfectly blending modern elegance with Charleston charm, creating a truly luxurious atmosphere.

My room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. The amenities were top-notch. Dining at the Dewberry was a treat as well, with a wide variety of delicious food options to choose from throughout my stay—on both the rooftop and living room.

As an American Express traveler, I was delighted by the special accommodations and perks offered, which added an extra touch of exclusivity to my experience. This was my first stay at the Dewberry, and it was nothing short of amazing.

I will absolutely recommend the Dewberry to friends and family, and I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable stay!
