Francis Marion Hotel
Charleston
Accommodation type: Hotel
Relax and unwind in a historic romantic getaway.
Named for General Francis Marion “The Swamp Fox”, the hotel opened in 1924 as the largest and grandest in the Carolinas. It was originally built by local investors at a cost of $1.5 million from plans by noted New York architect W.L. Stoddart. Throughout the years, many notable historic and famous guests enjoyed the hotel’s full service and convenient location. In 1996, an extensive restoration earned the hotel the esteemed National Trust Award and once again the Francis Marion opened its doors as Charleston’s Grand Hotel.
More recent refurbishments have added to the comforts of today and enhanced the hotel’s historic ambiance with sleek room décor reminiscent of the 1920’s grandeur.
After a hectic day sightseeing in Charleston relax at the Spa Adagio, which offers a sensational array of treatments. In the evening enjoy a delicious meal at the Swamp Fox Restaurant in the Francis Marion Hotel, you'll adore the award winning shrimp here!
Mix with the locals who love the funky jazz and signature cocktails served at The Swamp Bar and then enjoy a wonderful nights sleep in a comfortable room surrounded by heavenly European-style bedding with overstuffed duvets and down pillows. These charming rooms all feature marble bathrooms with pedestal sinks and brass fixtures.
