Talk about a local icon! The Charleston Place first swung open its doors way back in 1986. Over the last four decades, it has played host to many a celebrity — and many a celebration. Though it's wedged between two of the city's busiest streets, the gorgeous grand hotel is remarkably calm. Craving a dip? Wind your way up to the fabulous glass-framed pool perched on the roof.

When in Rome, as they say, right? And when in Charleston, chic, breezy dresses and beautiful patterned linen are the order of the day. Pop into Madison-Mathews for stylish dresses, beach cover-ups and nightgowns, as well as sweet children's clothing.
