Hints of European architecture shape the soon-to-open Hotel Bennett in Charleston, South Carolina. Situated at the corner of King Street and the historic Marion Square, the property combines classic charm with modern luxury, offering dog-friendly rooms, a refined rooftop terrace and a range of upscale amenities.
The hotel features 179 guestrooms and suites, each furnished with custom pieces that echo Charleston’s graceful Southern style. Bathrooms include pedestal bathtubs and separate showers. Rooms are appointed with locally inspired artwork and quality linens, and come with daily newspaper delivery, terrycloth robes, coffee and tea stations, minibars and refrigerators, iPod docking stations and twice-daily housekeeping.
Floor-to-ceiling arched windows frame the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant, which is entered through a decorative wrought-iron gateway and presents a contemporary take on Southern cuisine. Camellias, the hotel’s lady’s lounge, displays French Art Deco influences with an etched mirrored ceiling, crystal chandeliers and antique pink stone—an elegant setting for afternoon tea, a curated wine selection and handcrafted aperitifs. Patisserie serves freshly made pastries and treats to enjoy indoors or on the outdoor seating.
For relaxation after exploring Charleston’s historic streets, guests can visit the hotel spa for massages, facials and other treatments. The spa offers five treatment rooms plus a couples’ suite, along with a fitness center, manicure-pedicure studio, a relaxation room and retail space stocked with select products.
