Historical Boutique Hotel in the Heart of the French Quarter

In the 18th century, French refugees settled in Charleston and established a commercial district lined with vendues, or auction houses. The auctioneers and merchants in the thriving French Quarter built cotton factories and grocery warehouses along the cobblestone streets. The Vendue Inn, repurposed from a trio of these colonial-era buildings, pays homage the area's roots with antique-filled interiors, exposed-brick walls, and wrought iron beds.

Views from the Vendue's Rooftop Bar & Restaurant—named the best in town by the Charleston City Paper—span the historical neighborhood surrounding the inn, overlooking centuries-old church steeples, antebellum mansions, fort ruins, and a double-parked Camry. The acoustic melodies of jazz and bluegrass acts dance in the salty breeze as bartenders top off pint glasses from a selection of 20 beers and mix specialty cocktails ($9+) such as the Charleston Sweetini, its raspberry vodka and sweet-tea vodka offset by a tart splash of cranberry and sour mix. Downstairs in The Library restaurant, chefs prepare classic Lowcountry cuisine with a creative touch: the Charleston staple, shrimp and grits, is dressed up with jalapeño cheddar grits and topped with orange-horseradish marmalade ($24).

Charleston, South Carolina: Civil War Monuments and Mansions with Southern Charm

Charleston is one of the country's oldest cities, its historic significance made palpable by Civil War landmarks and immaculately preserved properties, hundreds of which have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The French Quarter's cobblestone pathways wend past gothic churches and graveyards where signers of the Declaration of Independence were laid to rest. On the Battery, a short walk from the hotel, mansions commingle with Confederate cannons and oak trees along the seawall facing Fort Sumter in the Battery.

More recently, Charleston has merged its Old South identity with a strong arts-and-culture scene. The streets once overrun with aristocrats and their diamond-studded butlers are now lined with top-tier art galleries and fashion boutiques. The city's reputation as a major culinary destination has been reaffirmed by the James Beard Foundation, which has named a different Charleston chef the best in the southeast three out of the past four years.
