Camellias at Hotel Bennett

Camellias is the ground-floor champagne bar inside Hotel Bennett, the luxury hotel overlooking Marion Square at 404 King Street. The room was designed around Faberge jewels, with bold pink interiors, a crystal chandelier and an etched-mirror ceiling, and Food Network named it the most Instagrammable restaurant in South Carolina. The core menu pairs champagne by the bottle and glass with caviar, charcuterie, local seafood and house desserts.

For non-drinkers, Camellias prints a dedicated "Non-Spirited Cocktails" section built on zero-proof spirits rather than a single token mocktail. Documented pours include The Charleston (Seedlip 108, celery, pistachio, lime, smoked salt), The Waring (Seedlip 42, apple, lemon, Codorniu N/A Brut) and The Towell (Seedlip Agave, serrano, cantaloupe, citrus); local alcohol-free guides have also listed a "Mint To Be" using Amethyst blueberry-mint NA spirit, lemon, blackberry and mint.
