Historic Location

When The Francis Marion was built in 1924, it was the largest hotel in the Carolinas - the Charleston Renaissance was in full bloom and the Francis Marion was the place to be. Meticulously restored, The Francis Marion now combines 1920`s style and grace with 21st-century comfort and convenience in the heart of historic Charleston on Marion Square. Amenities include complete spa services, the Swamp Fox Restaurant, a workout facility, piano music in the lounge and gourmet coffee from Starbucks. As the only high-rise hotel in the historic district, the hotel offers spectacular views of Charleston`s church steeples, antebellum mansions and famous harbor.

Charming Ambiance

The Francis Marion Hotel, located in the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina, was the largest and grandest in the Carolinas when it opened in 1924. Named for General Francis Marion, the ``Swamp Fox`` of the American Revolution, the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston re-opened in 1996 after a $12 million National Trust award-winning restoration, and is once again ``Charleston`s Grand Hotel``. Come and enjoy a wonderful night's sleep surrounded by heavenly, European-style bedding with overstuffed duvets and down pillows. Our guest rooms also feature original style marble bathrooms with pedestal sinks, brass fixtures, and Gilchrist and Soomes Spa bath products.

The Francis Marion Hotel has just built a new Conference Center Facility which makes it easy for you to enjoy business and pleasure while staying at ``Charleston`s Grand Hotel``. The new conference facility features 7,000 square feet of total conference space, including a 4,500 square ft elegant ballroom overlooking Marion Square.
