Exposed brick walls and original architectural features preserved throughout

“The Vendue stands out as Charleston's art-focused hotel, and I appreciate how it merges historic buildings with contemporary installations; its location in the French Quarter places guests steps from both dining and art. I think that its unique dining options, including a popular rooftop bar, give it extra appeal.”
