The Mills House Fact Sheet

About the Mills House Charleston

Originally opened in 1853, The Mills House was envisioned as “the finest hotel south of New York City” by owner and local Charleston entrepreneur, Otis Mills. Offering a level of grandeur and luxury that the city hadn’t seen, The Mills House was designed by architect John Earle and quickly became a landmark in the heart of the historic French Quarter. It was the first structure in Charleston to have both running water and steam heating on a large scale. Each floor was extravagantly furnished with eight bathing rooms exclusively for ladies, with both warm and cold showers and baths, while similar bathing rooms for gentlemen were built on the first floor. Steam heat was installed in all the public rooms and the individual guest rooms were equipped with coal grates. 

When it came to the interior design, no expense was spared. Elaborate ceiling moldings, marble mantles, mahogany stair rails, a grand marble staircase and luxurious furniture and antiques set The Mills House as one of the city’s finest buildings. On the exterior, Earle implemented façade decoration with heavy cornices, terra cotta window pediments, a balcony made by the finest Philadelphia ironworkers, a grand entrance of arches, and columns and stucco walls fashioned like New York City brownstones. The hotel also boasts a courtyard designed by Loutrel Briggs, one of the city’s preeminent landscape architects in the 1900s. 

The property fell into disrepair in the early 20^th century before it was purchased in the 1960s, when the new owners worked with local Charleston preservationists to take the building down to its foundation and reconstruct an exact historical replica in its place. Over the years, the hotel has hosted many famous guests, such as President Gerald Ford and Elizabeth Taylor. 

In December 2022, The Mills House completed a multi-million-dollar transformation, including a complete reimagination of all original guest rooms and the addition of premium suites, while maintaining the old-world charm and warmth for which the hotel has long been known. Guests now enter through a lush hidden garden courtyard, one of the hotel’s many new bespoke spaces, which also include a new rooftop pool bar and terrace. The Mills House also now offers two new food and beverage concepts, including The Black Door Café, aptly named for its iconic paneled door on Queen Street. Tucked inside the hotel’s walled courtyard, Iron Rose represents the hotel’s new signature restaurant where guests can enjoy elevated, Southern coastal cuisine with indoor and outdoor courtyard dining. With the renovations, The Mills House transitioned to Curio Collection by Hilton as the portfolio’s first property in South Carolina.

In celebration of its 170-year anniversary in 2023, The Mills House will be celebrating all month long in August with a week of free giveaways; specials at signature restaurant Iron Rose paying homage to the hotel’s original dining menu in the 1800s; history talks and lectures; and more.
