Hotel Bennett

Kareem George here, sharing insights from a recent visit to one of my favorite US cities, Charleston, South Carolina. Many thanks to my incredible colleagues at Explore Charleston for so graciously hosting me and my esteemed colleagues from the Travel + Leisure Travel Advisory Board.

Hotel Bennett should definitely be on your "list" of hotels to consider. One of the South’s grandest luxury hotels, Hotel Bennett is inspired by native Charlestonians and European classic design. Located on Charleston’s iconic and historic Marion Square, the hotel perfectly blends unparalleled luxury with an unmatched setting. Style and elegance come to life throughout, with a stunning Foyer, Rotunda and Grand Court, a terraced two-tiered restaurant, rooftop pool and bar, French patisserie, and luxurious spa - all adorned by custom furnishings and local artwork.

I found the hotel's size to be just right. Hotel Bennett has 179 stylish guestrooms and suites which transcend traditional upscale accommodations with custom furnishings and design that authentically reflect Charleston’s famed elegance and grace. I was fortunate to call one of the lovely Premier King rooms home...

Spectacular views of Charleston’s historic landscape make these premier guestrooms an exemplary space for admiring the city’s famed beauty. Ranging from 355 to 500 square feet, the Premier King’s designer appointments include luxury bedding, panel television, and private bar coupled with elegant décor, which pays homage to Southern living at its finest. The spacious bathroom’s glass-enclosed shower, marble vanity, and deep-soaking pedestal tub ensure the perfect place for relaxing.

Moreover, our guests enjoy Signature amenities, which include complimentary Wi-Fi, and access to the fitness center and rooftop pool. Our team is available to discuss the wide range of room types available, including the beautiful and spacious suites.

Once you are ready to leave the attentive service, comfort and luxury of your accommodations (which is a challenge at Hotel Bennett!), many of Charleston's attractions are right at your doorstep. In particular, its famous, and delicious restaurants. My next post will focus food - hope you're hungry!
