Hotel Bennett Charleston

Hotel Bennett is the BEST place to stay when visiting Charleston! Not only is it a beautiful hotel, it is centrally located in the heart of the city, allowing guests to walk just about anywhere downtown. But the absolute reason Hotel Bennett should be your top choice is the concierge service. Kevin Wade is the hidden gem of the hotel and knows EVERY hidden gem in the city! We came in late Thursday night and talked with him for an hour and had our whole weekend planned out! Everything he recommended was top tier—-from a historical walking tour, a boat tour to Morris Island, a culinary tour and every restaurant in between. Kevin loves Charleston and Charleston loves Kevin. He WILL give you the dream vacation you hoped for in this beautiful city known for its rich culture and fine cuisine.

We stayed at the Bennett with our 3 children, for 4 nights as part of a larger trip. Without question Charleston was one of our main highlights, the hotel was beautiful to look at, the food was amazing, and the rooms were fabulously comfortable. However the icing on the cake was down to Kevin McQuade the outstanding concierge who spent ages with us, discovering what the childrens likes and dislikes were, and put together an exciting and very memorable itinerary which despite all the hours of research I had put in, Kevin came up with numerous activities and secluded restaurants that we would never have found. It has made me realise that I should rely more on the wealth of knowledge of the hotel concierge.

This is a beautiful hotel that is perfectly located. At every turn, you feel like you are in the lap of luxury, and the staff truly know how to treat you with hospitality. They were always attentive, without making you feel stifled. We went to every restaurant and bar they had, and the experience was top notch at every one. The pool staff and their manager were exceptional. A real oasis that made us forget the noise for a few days.

We stayed at the lovely Hotel Bennett and loved everything about the experience! From the wonderful staff to the locally appointed restaurants and sights within walking distance, everything about this hotel rings of perfection. I may begin with our arrival and the attention to unloading and assimilating, we were met with the most hospitable and attentive staff. After passing through the hotels beautiful lobby, settling in with the lovely concierge reception and perusing the champagne bar and intimate restaurant we were whisked up to a room that felt like the most favored, cozy and attended room in a palace; every detail whispered pampered and comfortable luxury. We took advantage of the spa, delectable pastry shop downstairs and room service one quiet evening; we were quite happy. So when in Charleston, we strongly recommend staying at the Hotel Bennet, you will remember it always.

Traveling solo, I felt welcome from the moment I arrived. I had such a great stay mainly because everyone I met was genuinely friendly. The hotel is beautiful and spotless, and my corner room was bright, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Hanna helped me with my bags and shared everything I needed to know about the hotel, so charming. Then Jordyn, the concierge, asked, "How adventurous would you like to be in Charleston?" From there, she put together an itinerary that was perfect for me. Instead of just pointing me to the usual tourist spots, she introduced me to experiences I never would have discovered on my own. The private tour with Ian Sanchez, Capers Island excursion, and the African American History Tour with Mr. Franklyn Williams were all highlights of my trip and very meaningful. I never made it to Gabrielle, but I could tell it is a favorite, always busy. I did end my last evening with a cocktail on the rooftop while watching the sunset. And of course, I couldn't leave without grabbing a blueberry muffin from La Pâtisserie! I can't wait to come back with my family.
