The Empress
Although a little off the beaten path (it's not exactly as close to downtown as some of the other hotels), The Empress is worth it. The Empress is a 17th-century mansion that's been made into an Inn. It's got a lot more "Southern Charm" than any of the hotels downtown. They do have all the conveniences of modern life. Fax, Copier, and secretarial services are available.
