Hotel Bennett
Overlooking Charleston’s historic Marion Square, Hotel Bennett is a grand Southern retreat where timeless elegance meets contemporary luxury. Expect richly appointed rooms, a rooftop pool, indulgent spa, acclaimed dining and an enviable address in the heart of the city.
The Bennett stands imposingly on the corner of King Street, Charleston’s main drag, and Marion Square, site of the lively Saturday farmers’ market. Though newly built there’s a sense of tradition here, evidenced by the jacketed doormen ushering guests inside past hand-painted murals of 18th-century Charleston.
Rooms and suites are more modern, offering luxury bed linens, capacious oval bathtubs and large walk-in showers. Two roof terraces, one quieter and on the third floor, the other more sociable and on the ninth, look out across downtown, the latter featuring a stunning heated pool with luxurious private cabanas. There’s also a spa, a salmon-pink champagne lounge, a delicious patisserie and the signature restaurant, Gabrielle.
