Elegance Meets Southern Hospitality in South Carolina

Hotel Bennett, the South’s grandest hotel and USA Today 10Best, No. 1 Luxury Hotel in the USA, embodies the spirit of Charleston's rich heritage and southern grace. Its vibrant architecture and mesmerizing scenery pair perfectly with the Holy City's charm. Built by native Charlestonians, the lavish hotel entrance opens upon King Street, the gateway to culture and class while a sweeping Grand Court serves as a gathering place for visitors and locals alike.

179 stylish guestrooms and suites transcend traditional upscale accommodations with custom furnishings and design. Indulge in designer pedestal tubs, pristine showers, luxurious bedding, and locally inspired artwork.

The lobby bar and adjacent two-tiered restaurant Gabrielle opens onto dramatic terraces overlooking Marion Square, offering an outdoor dining experience unlike any other in Charleston. Hotel Bennett also features Camellias, an iconic champagne bar that includes an etched-mirrored ceiling and reclaimed pink marble from the former Charleston Library for its floor, bar, and table tops. Guests will also enjoy a spectacular rooftop pool with cabanas and bar, a luxury spa, and a variety of grand event and flexible meeting spaces. It’s the most authentic and luxurious way to experience this world-class city.
