Hotel Hartness

The property itself has that rare balance of architectural clarity and warmth: clean lines, beautiful natural light, and a sense of calm that feels intentional rather than manufactured. As someone who spent years at Michelin North America helping launch the Michelin Guide in the U.S., I’m attuned to the small signals of a well-run hotel — staff cadence, service pacing, environmental detail, and the ability to make a stay feel personal without being intrusive. Hartness hits those notes. Our room was immaculate, quiet, and genuinely comfortable, with the kind of finishing touches that show someone cared about the guest experience rather than just the design brief. My wife’s birthday was acknowledged with sincerity, not script — a detail that matters more than any amenity. Patterson Kitchen + Bar Dinner at Patterson Kitchen + Bar was the highlight. The kitchen cooks with confidence: balanced seasoning, clean execution, and a sense of place in the ingredients. Hotel Hartness is a property that understands modern Southern hospitality: understated luxury, genuine warmth, and a culinary program that stands on its own. For a birthday getaway, it was exactly right.

Excellent hotel to break journey on the way to Florida

A jewel of a hotel. Great ambience

Very beautiful property, peaceful atmosphere. It’s great to celebrate a special event with sos. Dislikes- shower gel dispensers were hard to maneuver. My room was smaller than I thought it would be. I did not like my view of parking lot.

Rooms were very clean and comfortable beds. Staff very nice. Bar area small yet comfy couch off to side, maybe add a tv in that room. Would like complimentary flavored water or ice tea in lounge area.

The quintessential country house hotel Food is excellent TV did not work Should have 2 chairs in the room

The Hartness is beautifully decorated and clearly wants to be a luxury resort, but it lacks the service and attention to detail to match. The “preserve” they advertise is now being developed into homes, which was disappointing. During Clemson concert weekend, the hotel was severely understaffed and unprepared. It’s also not as close to downtown Greenville as advertised. For the price, there are better options elsewhere.

Beautiful, clean property with a lovely staff!

We love this hotel. Some changes have been made that are not great. One there is no food or beverage service at the pool, which was a real disappointment. Also they have stopped complimentary breakfast and there are no ice machines. Besides these things the property is beautiful. The beds are so comfortable. The pool is big and very nice.

Hotel was very pretty, rooms clean and friendly staff. But......For cost to stay you got no perks. No free breakfast, no free coffee bar, nothing included in stay. Everything was additional... Also outdoor area was not cleaned up well. Noticed beer bottles and drink cups left outside from night before. They were not picked up until almost 2 pm next day. I think staying in downtown Greenville would be better choice more entertainment and perks to stay.

We had an excellent experience at Hotel Hartness! This hotel is a hidden gem. We will be returning soon.

All the staff we encountered were so nice and eager to help. The property is beautiful! We really enjoyed sitting in the courtyard and around the fireplace.

The hotel itself was nice and we had a great time. The dinner at the Patterson, however, was not good. The Patterson used to be one of our favorite Greenville restaurants, but it has been poor the last 2 or 3 times we've eaten there. This time, appetizers were good, but the she crab soup was not and the grouper entree was very bad. The fish was bad and the cook was atrocious- overcooked and very dry. The waitress brought a new dish and it was just as bad. We very much wanted it to be fabulous, but, unfortunately, it just wasn't.

Amazing atmosphere for a Father's day weekend

Great place for a weekend getaway, staff very nice food great and the chocolate chip baked cookie is to die for for a nightcap.

There were no rugs on the floor in the room

The staff was exceptional! They all where friendly and very attentive. The spa was great. The setting in and around hotel was fabulous.

No complaints. Exceeded expectations

The hotel is very well kept and a great place to stay for couples to get away and relax.

This was a home large home at one point they added on additional wing. It’s southern country charm boutique hotel in the neighborhood of an up and coming expensive housing development
