Wanderlust Wednesday: Zero George

I am fortunate enough to be staying at Zero George while on this trip to Charleston to celebrate the opening of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League Designer Showhouse.  

This boutique hotel in the heart of historic downtown Charleston has long been on my bucket list.  I have popped in on multiple occasions for for drinks in the stunning bar.  They now have an award winning restaurant among the exquisite accommodations.  

I may never leave.

Circa 1804, the sixteen studios and suites are located in a landscaped enclave surrounded by three Charleston residences and two brick carriage houses. All guestrooms feature original architectural elements including heart pine floors, high ceilings, period millwork details and classic piazzas.

Guests are greeted upon arrival in the ‘heart’ of the house, the original kitchen carriage house off the courtyard. This 1804 Carriage House has been transformed into the guest reception for our concierge desk, adjacent to our custom designed professional show kitchen with a signature French enamel cooking range.

Juxtaposing Charleston’s period architecture, the hotels décor is southern sophistication with a contemporary twist – reminiscent of a spacious, well appointed and comfortably furnished private home.

The guestrooms décor draws from Charleston’s history as a colonial port and European connections. The “British Trade” motif is a classic and tailored finish, the “French Romantic” features a light and soft impression, and the ‘Yachting Design’ draws on the classic American yachting design palate. The residences’ private piazzas are furnished with wicker and wrought iron furnishings, allowing guests to casually lounge or breakfast while overlooking the Garden Courtyard.
