Francis Marion Hotel

Rising high above the Charleston Harbor, the Francis Marion opened its iconic doors almost 100 years ago. Today, the recognized Historic Hotel of America is known for its romantic and revered event ballrooms flanked by 12 spectacular stories and immaculate hotel rooms.

​

The Francis Marion Hotel houses three ballrooms with features that include antique chandeliers, 20-foot-high ceilings, monumental windows and marble accented fireplaces. An onsite spa and full-service restaurant along with in-house catering services mean everything is taken care of on-property. Book the Swamp Fox Restaurant for a Southern-inspired rehearsal dinner or bridal luncheon and curate your perfect custom wedding day menus with the hotel's talented culinary team.
