"History is so much a part of the Charleston experience that you don’t want to leave it behind when returning to your hotel. At the three early-19th-century in-town “singles” and two carriage houses that form the Zero George, you don’t have to. Garden suites are sweet with heart pine floors and period millwork, and the kitchen is the heart and soul of this place, as should be the case in the South. Chef Vinson Petrillo isn’t about pretense or elaborate sauces; Zero Restaurant is a destination in its own right. This is classic Charleston, down to the deeply satisfying underfoot crunch of oyster shells in your shaded courtyard nook."
