Hotel Bennett boasts 179 guestrooms and suites. During our stay, we resided in a junior suite, which has a bedroom, living room, and bathroom. The beautiful room is outfitted with eye- catching chandeliers, dark wood furniture, and a soothing color palette of gold, soft blues, and cream. The bedroom features a king bed with plush white bedding, a desk, and bookshelves stocked with hardcover novels wrapped in twine. The bathroom is just as serene with it's white marble tile, inviting pedestal tub, and separate rainfall shower. I highly recommend adding on The King's Club during your stay. For an additional cost, guests have access to this exclusive space where refreshments are served daily and a private concierge is present. As the name suggests, you're treated like royalty here. There is an open bar stocked with top-shelf liquor and five food presentations (prepared by the hotel's Chef de Cuisine) throughout the day: continental breakfast, light fare lunch, afternoon tea, evening hors d'oeuvres, cordials, and desserts. Here, we enjoyed a light breakfast, where scrambled eggs, sliced ham, fruit, pastries, and a Bloody Mary bar were served, and a lunch that featured a salad bar with grilled chicken, poached shrimp, and an assortment of cookies. Situated on the 6th floor, the outdoor terrace provides a lovely view of King's Street and additional seating. Hotel Bennett has a variety of topnotch dining options, including Gabrielle (formal dining), Camellias (champagne bar), Fiat Lux (rooftop dining by the pool), and La Pâtisserie (a casual bistro that serves "the city's finest breads, pastries, and sandwiches"). Gabrielle is a gorgeous two-story restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows, leather chairs, and a stunning crystal art installation draped overhead. Helmed by Executive Chef Michael Sichel, the masterfully-executed dishes are inspired by the chef's work in Europe and New Orleans. The dinner menu boasts mouthwatering dishes, including grilled octopus, French onion soup, steak, and seafood.
