Looking for an intimate resort feel for your wedding weekend? We’ve compiled a list of our top three favorite hotels in Charleston that you can host your wedding and all of your guests can stay, kick back, and relax on property. 

The Dewberry Hotel
A modern retreat just steps from King Street, The Dewberry offers a more intimate, design-forward setting that exudes understated elegance. Tucked away from the bustle, this boutique property brings the vision of “Southern reimagined” to life—blending warmth, luxury, and Charleston charm in every detail. Enjoy a cocktail at The Citrus Club, featuring the highest rooftop view in the city, or unwind in the mid-century-inspired living room with live music and an espresso martini. The ballroom offers a refined take on Charleston glamour, while the ivy-covered walled garden sets the stage for romantic al fresco dining.
