This hotel has become the place to stay—or at least have a drink—in Charleston. People crowd the lobby restaurant, Grill 225, for a juicy steak dinner, and then everyone is headed upstairs to the swanky rooftop pool and bar for cocktails and a spectacular view of Charleston and the dark waters. Beautifully appointed guest rooms have four-poster beds, cashmere blankets, marble baths and fluffy bathrobes.
