The Wentworth Mansion in downtown Charleston has received top honors from the world’s No. 1 travel magazine, Travel and Leisure.
Results of the 17th annual World’s Best Awards readers’ survey announced today named the Wentworth as “Top Small City Hotel in the Continental U.S.”
In addition, the mansion ranks No. 12 on the 2012 World’s Best Awards list of Top 100 Hotels overall.

The Wentworth Mansion is a 21-room hotel. Built in 1886, the site is the former home of a wealthy cotton merchant.
