The Dewberry is a 155-room luxury hotel at 334 Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina, occupying the meticulously restored 1964 Federal Building—a mid-century modernist landmark adjacent to Marion Square. The interior conversion, conceived by design studio AvroKO, preserved and enhanced the building's original terrazzo floors, restored brass fixtures, and period details while introducing bespoke American craft furniture, vintage lighting, and a curated art collection assembled specifically for the property. The result is a distinctly American luxury aesthetic that stands apart from Charleston's period antebellum hotel vernacular. Henrietta's restaurant anchors the ground floor, serving an American brasserie menu with a rotating seasonal focus; the cocktail program draws on Southern spirits and house-made preparations. The Living Room occupies the former building lobby and functions as the hotel's social center, pairing cocktails with an immersive curated vinyl collection, a library of rare books, and custom millwork throughout. A rooftop pool with city views, a full-service spa with private treatment rooms, and a modern fitness center address wellness needs. Valet parking is available from the Meeting Street entrance. The hotel's location at the edge of Charleston's civic and legal district is walkable to Marion Square, the Charleston Museum, the Joseph Manigault House, and the full extent of the Historic District to the south.

Frequently asked questions
What makes The Dewberry different from other Charleston luxury hotels?
The Dewberry is housed in a mid-century modernist building rather than an antebellum historic structure, giving it a distinctly different aesthetic. The interior design by AvroKO prioritizes American craft, vintage character, and curated culture over the traditional Low Country plantation-style that defines most Charleston luxury properties.
Is The Dewberry pet-friendly?
The Dewberry is pet-friendly and welcomes dogs. A nightly pet fee applies; size and breed restrictions may apply. Confirm current policy when making a reservation.
Is the rooftop pool available to non-hotel guests?
The rooftop pool is reserved exclusively for hotel guests. It does not operate as a public pool or club membership facility.
How far is The Dewberry from the main King Street shopping district?
The lower King Street antique and design corridor begins approximately three blocks south of the hotel. Upper King Street's restaurant and nightlife concentration is about a 10-minute walk from the property.
