The pink marble found in the library where Hotel Bennett now stands was reclaimed and restored. It now sets the tone of the egg-shaped room.

One does not usually expect a pool when they are on an urban getaway, but Charleston has changed that mindset. Charleston\u2019s hotels know that guests love to lounge by the pool, so they responded by raising the bar on this amenity. My top pick is the rooftop pool at Hotel Bennett because if you can\u2019t decide if you want to have a pool day, lounge at a cocktail bar or get a quality bite to eat, their rooftop pool areas delivers all. Hotel Bennett <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is also a perfect place for the solo traveler. It was easy to make pals during the daily wine and cheese social, and at the rooftop fitness events.
