Another High-Profile Award for Woodlands Resort and Inn, South Carolina

Just minutes from the historic city of Charleston in the charming village of Summerville, South Carolina, the Woodlands Resort and Inn combines Southern hospitality and Old World charm in a beautiful setting: surrounded by palmettos, moss-draped oak, and towering magnolias. Set amidst 42 acres of parkland, the immaculately restored 1906 classic revival mansion features 18 luxurious guest rooms. Here guests delight in the outdoor swimming pool, red-clay tennis courts, croquet lawn and day spa. Plus, guests enjoy golf privileges at nearby courses. A member of Relais & Chateaux, Woodlands-- awarded the Mobil Five-Star award for both dining and lodging-- is renowned for its sophisticated cuisine, epitomizing the good life. It's no surprise that a resort of this caliber recently snagged the No. 1 ranking in the Continental U.S. and Canada (and No. 3 worldwide) in the 2008 Best Service Awards by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. (Notably, Woodlands is the only U.S. property to make the worldwide Top 10 List.) Woodlands offers the highest caliber of personalized service in a destination that's recognized as the nation's most mannerly and gracious.
