If you’re looking for a hotel, The Hotel Bennett is a great choice. Or check out Zero George for relaxed luxury, or Charleston Place if you want to be in the heart of the action, and look into Kiawah Island if you’re looking for a quiet more remote luxury getaway outside of town, or Wild Dunes for a more happening fun family-friendly resort on the beach.
