A Spring Getaway in Charleston
Treat yourself to a charming spring escape in Charleston, where the cobblestone streets come alive with bursts of color from blooming window boxes. Savor fresh, coastal cuisine at cozy outdoor cafes and unwind on breezy waterfront swings as you soak in views of the harbor. The Holy City in spring is a picture-perfect blend of Southern hospitality and blooming beauty.
Day 1: Morning
Begin your morning with a leisurely stroll through Hampton Park, a beloved 60-acre urban retreat where sweeping floral displays, tranquil lagoons, and shaded picnic lawns offer a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. A favorite among locals, the park warmly welcomes four-legged companions, and for those who need to stay connected, complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout.
Day 1: Afternoon
After a morning spent at the park, enjoy signature afternoon tea at Camellias. A selection of sweet and savory bites come together to create a decadent afternoon. Reservations for afternoon tea are required.
Day 1: Evening
Spend the rest of your first day at Waterfront Park overlooking boats on the harbor. Enjoy the Pineapple Fountain or sway in the breeze on one of the waterfront swings. On your way back to Hotel Bennett, stop in at one of the many restaurants for some signature southern fare.
Day 2: Morning
Venture out to Middleton Place, where the nation's oldest landscaped gardens unfold along the banks of the Ashley River. Explore miles of scenic walking paths, encounter the plantation's resident animals at the stableyards, and soak in the serene beauty of the terraced butterfly lakes. Be sure to stop into the Middleton Place Restaurant, where Lowcountry classics are served in a setting as breathtaking as the grounds themselves.
