Story - The Dewberry Charleston
Quintessentially Charleston — an illustration of The Dewberry's living room

Honoring the history of Charleston’s landmark L. Mendel Rivers Federal Building (circa 1964), The Dewberry is a mid-century modern landmark rescued, restored, and reimagined by visionary owner John Dewberry.

Nearly every element in this iconic Charleston hotel carries an artisan’s touch — from hand-gilded cranes in the Swanston Room to custom botanical armoires, Vermont-selected marble, vintage Danish furnishings, and a bespoke Woka brass chandelier. These details, woven together with warm service, great food and drink, and luxurious spaces, create an experience that more than stands apart, it stands alone.

  • A Legendary Design Collaboration

    A Charleston landmark, experience, and state of mind, The Dewberry was reimagined over eight years by a team of renowned architects and designers who shared Dewberry’s vision to present Charleston from a uniquely personal perspective. The result is a thoughtful juxtaposition of past and present that redefines what’s possible when historic preservation and imagination are paramount.
