Both hotels are worth considering when planning a visit to the town that won Travel + Leisure’s favorite cities in the U.S. award for 11 years running.

The only hotel in South Carolina that can claim membership in the world-class Relais & Châteaux association of independently owned and operated luxury hotels, it retains the stateliness of the Old South without being snobby or stuffy.

Over the past several years, there has been an increase each year in the number of fatal truck accidents that occur. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), one of the most critical reasons for this increase is due to rising speed limits. In 1995, many states began increasing highway speed limits from 55 to 65 mph, and quite a few have since increased their highway speed limit to 70 mph. In Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, there are some areas where the speed limit is 80 mph. Kansas, Nebraska, and several other states have a 75-mph speed limit.
