Restaurant + Bar

A rooftop bar with Holy City views.

Gabrielle is Hotel Bennett's signature restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily with a menu that draws on the Lowcountry's fresh bounty and bold, refined flavors. Next door, La Patisserie is a French-inspired coffee shop and bakery where all pastries, artisanal breads, and sweet delicacies are made in-house by pastry chef Remy Funfrock. For drinks, Camellias Champagne Lounge is the jewel in the crown. Bold pink interiors featuring marble reclaimed from the library that once stood on this site set the scene for an extensive champagne list paired with caviar, charcuterie, local seafood, and homemade desserts. On the ninth floor, rooftop bar Fiat Lux serves signature cocktails and small plates with views to match, while the Gabrielle Lounge keeps things going daily with its own cocktail and small plates menu.

Fiat Lux is Hotel Bennett's rooftop bar, where specialty cocktails and an extensive wine list come with panoramic views over Charleston. Sunset here is best paired with a bottle of rosé. Downstairs, Camellias is in a category of its own, a champagne lounge inspired by Fabergé jewels featuring an etched-mirror ceiling, crystal chandelier, and bold pink interiors with marble reclaimed from the library that once stood on this site. Named the most Instagrammable restaurant in South Carolina by Food Network, it pairs an extensive bottle and by-the-glass list with caviar, charcuterie, local seafood, and homemade desserts by La Pâtisserie.
