DESCRIPTION: Named
for the Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox,"
and opened in 1924, the historic Francis Marion Hotel has a long
tradition of gracious service, elegant accommodations and splendid
banquet and meeting facilities. Built by local investors at a cost
of $1.5 million from plans by noted New York architect W.L. Stoddard,
the Francis Marion was the largest and grandest hotel in the Carolinas
with 312 guest rooms. The 1920s was the Golden Age of railroads,
radio and grand hotels, the Charleston Renaissance was in full bloom
and the Francis Marion Hotel was "the place to be."
Meticulously
restored in 1996 with a $12 million National Trust for Historic
Preservation award winning restoration, the Francis Marion Hotel
now combines 1920's style and grace with 21st Century comfort and
convenience in the heart of historic Charleston on Marion Square.
Rising 12 stories, many of the Hotel's 226 guestrooms and suites
offer spectacular views of Charleston's historic harbor, church
steeples and legendary King Street. The Francis Marion Hotel, with
its central downtown location, is an easy walk to the antebellum
homes, magnificent gardens, antique shops and boutiques, and world-class
restaurants.
The Guests at the Francis Marion Hotel can enjoy classic Southern
cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Swamp Fox Restaurant
and Bar, cocktails and jazz piano music in the Swamp Fox bar, complete
spa services at SPA Adagio, and gourmet coffee from Port City Java.
