Hotel Bennett Charleston

This was once a great hotel. But it has unfortunately lost all of the charm that made it a special place. You are now just a number.

What a disappointment. The roof top bar and pool were packed with people not even staying at this hotel. We couldn’t use the pool, which is very small, in fact it shouldn’t be advertised as a feature due to its size. There were no perks to paying what we did. Stay somewhere else.

This place is fantastic and I'm the queen of a great bougie hotel. It's a must wherever I go. Hotel Bennett: top notch service, wild friendly, incredibly polite, darling bakery, swish champs & caviar bar, great rooftop pool (albeit small). This place is an absolute gem in the best part of town. On Saturdays just outside their front door in a grand public park, there is a most darling arts crafts and food flea market. The star of this hotel though is the staff. Absolute southern charm at its best, which brings me too... Kevin, the Concierge. This guy is a reality show waiting to happen. By far the best concierge we have ever experienced. A complete and utter pro, plugged in, full of secret tips, honest insight, and a little black book of all the who's who in town. Kevin hooked it all up for us in about an hour: Fantastic Barrier Island boat tour of the inter-coastal which was the highlight of the trip, along with the best walking tour guide ever, Ed, who is equally entertaining and super educated on all things southern and Charleston history. Kevin will tell you what tourist traps to avoid, what restaurants are overrated, and he can finagle you a table even if one isnt available. During our stay he called the GM of Halls Chophouse and scored us a table on a friday night in prime dinner time! And the meal was spectacular. Fabulous stay all thanks to Kevin for sure. He really made the trip, and he LOVES his job. every time he successfully booked us a restaurant or tour, he would erupt, " SOOOO EXCITED!!!" and then high five our 8yr old daughter. It was all too hysterical and wonderful. Kevin is well known by the front desk staff who start talking up his praises and local fame the minute you check in. If you stay here and do not use Kevin, you are MISSING OUT. The end.

What a wonderful experience! The rooms were incredibly clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location of Hotel Bennett is absolutely perfect! The hotel is located right in the heart of Charleston, close to any restaurant or bar you might want to taste. The rooftop bar and pool also provides a perfect place to lay and relax after a long day of walking around and seeing all Charleston has to offer. The concierge was a huge help in helping make our stay and will be a great resource for your needs while on the property. I’d stay here time and time again. The next time I visit Charleston, there’s no doubt which hotel I will be staying at. As a perk, each room is full with complimentary nespresso!

Just got back from a weekend in Charleston and a stay at the lovely, Hotel Bennett. The hotel is simply beautiful and in a fabulous location. The rooftop space has amazing views, there is also a farmer's market on the weekend in the adjacent park. The hotel's own patisserie has the most delicious pastries and croissants. The staff were all very helpful and friendly but the most incredible was Kevin, the head concierge. Kevin assisted us with restaurant recommendations and the most amazing food and walking tour, Undiscovered Charleston, with Chef Forrest Parker. If you are a foodie you must do it. An amazing walking tour which culminates in a 3 course meal with wine pairings prepared by Chef Forest. I cannot say enough good things about it, the highlight of our trip!. We will definitely be back to Charleston!
