Charleston's Most Delicious Hotel Restaurants
Hotel dining gets a bad rap. And it’s no wonder, as many inns across the country offer an underwhelming continental breakfast plus bar fare and call it a day. But foodies planning a trip to Charleston can rejoice because a handful of the city’s best restaurants are conveniently located inside hotels, making wining and dining during your stay all too easy. Cheers!
The Restoration
Why it made the list
If the Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits weren’t on a rooftop with stunning skyline views of downtown, it’d be good. But since it boasts both indoor and outdoor seating with panoramic views of the city along with delectable fare, it’s great. Offering a selection of salads (the carrot and grains is a winner), light bites (try the truffle frites), and larger entrees, it satisfies appetites both big and small.
The Dewberry Charleston
Why it made the list
A Southern brasserie tucked in the gorgeous ground floor of this luxury boutique hotel, Henrietta’s marries classic French cooking with Southern ingredients and a dash of creole style. Expect boudin bites and escargot along with artful salads and hearty mains (like roast duck and steak frites), plus a stunning setting (it’s got a white-and-black checkered floor, open-back chairs, and crisp white linens).
Old Village Post House
Why it made the list
Across the Cooper River from the hustle and bustle of downtown is the sleepy Old Village in Mount Pleasant. And at the heart of the picture-perfect historic neighborhood is this delicious fine-dining restaurant. The menu stars fresh catches served over decadent Southern sides like Carolina Gold rice or Geechie Boy grits, and the atmosphere is charming indeed, with tables tucked into three intimate, old-school dining rooms. Those staying at the same-named six-room inn need only walk upstairs to retire after supper.
