The Best Hotels Near Society Sandwich Bar, by the Record

  1. Rooms done in deep greens with JBL speakers and Nespresso machines signal that this Autograph Collection hotel in downtown Greenville has paid close attention to what boutique hotels have been doing. The Grand Bohemian Lodge sits near the Reedy River and pulls in both leisure travelers and the corporate crowd that Michelin's nearby US headquarters keeps sending through town. The restaurant, run by a chef with serious New York pedigree, is worth your evening.


  2. A French Revival mansion on a sprawling private estate that a prominent local family eventually decided to share with the rest of us. Hotel Hartness is a luxury boutique hotel sitting inside that former family home, surrounded by 180 acres of preserved green space, which makes it feel less like checking into a hotel and more like being a very welcome houseguest at someone else's inheritance.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country: how people there rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, and what they breathe. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
