We dined at Gabrielle for Sunday brunch and had the challenge of selecting from an array of dishes that each sounded more scrumptious than the last —Breakfast Beignets, Crepes Amandine, Shrimp and Grits, Lemon Ricotta Toast, Gabrielle Burger... To start, we ordered the Biscuits & Gravy with Amish Chicken Ground Sausage. Not your typical southern dish, this was elevated fare. The biscuits were warm and fluffy, while the gravy was creamy yet light, and incredibly delicious. Every morsel was devoured. For our main dishes, we ordered the Belgian Waffle with Smoked Pork Belly and Organic Strawberry syrup; and Eggs Bennett: Storey Farms Organic Poached Eggs and Filet Medallions topped with beraniase. Both plates featured a symphony of flavors that came together harmoniously. I definitely recommend dining at Gabrielle —the food is excellent. Retire to The Spa Hotel Bennett for some R&R. The spa boasts five treatment rooms, a relaxation area, and fitness center. While you wait in the relaxation room, help yourself to some water, tea, and light snacks. We experienced the 80-minute Ultimate Aromatherapy Massage in the couples' room, and left completely invigorated. The spa menu also features facials, like the Gold Hydralifting Facial, and body treatments, like the Holy City Healing Wrap. Whatever treatment you choose, you're sure to feel pampered and refreshed. Charleston is a popular destination for weddings, and Hotel Bennett's Crown Ballroom is the perfect place to celebrate your nuptials. Honestly, every corner of the hotel presents a beautiful backdrop for photos, especially their rooftop which has a heated pool, Fiat Lux, and six private rental cabanas outfitted with seating, a TV, refrigerator, fan, bottled water, and fruit basket. During our visit, the hotel was bursting with wedding guests and intimate parties enjoying champagne and tea at Camellias, which serves an extensive collection of bottle and by-the-glass offerings, caviar, ceviche, tartare, desserts, and Afternoon Tea (from 2-4 pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). Hotel Bennett embodies Charleston charm and luxury,and is the best when it comes to the city's accommodations. ML For reservations, visit www.hotelbennett.com or call 833-331-9616.
