Mills House Charleston, Curio Collection by Hilton

Situated in the heart of historic downtown between Queen and Meeting Streets, Mills House Charleston, Curio Collection by Hilton has been an iconic landmark of this coastal South Carolina city since 1853. Once the stately manor of the influential Grimké family (sisters Sarah and Angelina were ardent women’s rights advocates and the first white women to represent the American Anti-Slavery Society in front of a state legislature), it was later turned into a luxurious hotel by entrepreneur Otis Mills. Sparing no expense during its reimagining, the Mills House Hotel debuted to much success following its $200,000 transformation, a pricey sum at the time, and quickly emerged as Charleston’s most in-demand vacation destination. This hotel remained a gathering and popular spot despite the Civil War and throughout its history has hosted such illustrious guests as actress Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Bennett, Princess Caroline of Monaco, and four U.S. presidents.

Today, this pretty-in-pink hotel charms guests with its grand Italianate style, warm Southern hospitality, and rich history. Along with its distinctive design and heritage of hospitality, guests staying at Mills House Charleston, Curio Collection by Hilton also delight in elegant yet relaxed guestrooms brimming with Southern-inspired details, a rooftop pool made for days in the South Carolina sunshine, and three delicious dining venues. Whether exploring the city with family and friends or enjoying a romantic getaway for two, The Mills House Hotel is the perfect place when experiencing the best that Charleston has to offer.
