Vendue Inn Review

This three-story inn manages to convey some of the personalized touches of a B&B. Its public areas -- a series of narrow, labyrinthine spaces -- are full of antiques and colonial accessories that evoke a cluttered, and slightly cramped inn in Europe. Guest rooms do not necessarily follow the lobby's European model, however, and appear to be the result of decorative experiments by the owners. Room themes may be based on aspects of Florida, rococo Italy, or 18th-century Charleston. Marble floors and tabletops, wooden sleigh beds, and (in some rooms) wrought-iron canopy beds, while eclectically charming, might be inconsistent with your vision of colonial Charleston. Overflow guests are housed in a historic, brick-fronted annex across the cobblestone-covered street. The inn's restaurant is called the Kitchen House (for dinner only). The chef here offers a menu of local favorites with unusual twists. The other restaurant, the Roof Top Terrace, offers a complete lunch and dinner menu in a more informal atmosphere with a panoramic view of the harbor and of the Historic District.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
