Mills House Charleston, Curio Collection by Hilton

5/5 Excellent

Great location, wonderful hotel!

"Located in the heart of Charleston, the Mills House Hotel is a luxury hotel with all the ammeniteis. The courtyard has a beautiful fountain and large fireplace and we loved having drinks out here. It is also the outdoor dining section of one of the hotel restuarnts, Iron Rose, which we ate at several times and it was excellent. The pool area is lovely though a little small for the size tof the hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and the woman who took care of our room was a gem. They also have an informal cafe on site. We had a great time there!"

Luxury with a taste of history

" The hotel is beautifully decorated, and the front desk staff were super friendly. It’s located right across the street from the river so you can walk over and enjoy the view from the pier or a park bench. Lastly, the restaurant inside the hotel was top notch and the food was delicious."
