VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, a Five-Star hotel, resembles a grand seaside mansion. Set in the heart of a 10,000-acre barrier island and resort within a private gated community, The Sanctuary provides a spectacular beachfront setting, a Five-Star spa and distinctive dining, including the Five-Star
Ocean Room.
The tastefully understated lobby with wide-plank walnut floors, handcrafted rugs and original artwork and antiques is reminiscent of an elegant private home, with intimate seating areas arranged around two massive limestone fireplaces. A bank of oversized windows looks out across the perfectly manicured Grand Lawn to the beach just beyond. Two large staircases feature original hand-painted murals depicting the island's wildlife.
The spacious guest rooms (most of which provide ocean views) and suites have a breezy yet traditional feel with coastal colonial-inspired furnishings and art, large soaking tubs and balconies. The airy Lobby Bar, decorated in a refined nautical style, is the perfect gathering place for a cocktail after a day on one of the resort's five championship golf courses or partaking in one of the island's outdoor, nature or wellness activities. Once you experience all of this plus The Sanctuary's genuine Lowcountry hospitality, you won't want to leave.
