An Icon in the Heart of Charleston

Overlooking Marion Square in the heart of Charleston’s Historic District, the Francis Marion Hotel has welcomed guests since 1924. A true city landmark, the hotel blends grand architecture, sweeping skyline views, and refined comfort, placing you steps from the culture, cuisine, and charm that define Charleston.

Rooms & Suites

Thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and suites offer comfort, space, and sweeping views of Charleston’s skyline and historic streets.

Named for Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion (the “Swamp Fox”), the Francis Marion Hotel became an instant Charleston landmark when it opened in 1924. Rising 12 stories above the Historic District, the hotel offers spectacular views of Charleston’s church steeples, historic mansions, and famous harbor, providing easy access to the wealth of Charleston’s attractions.

With continuous restorations throughout the years, the Francis Marion features 235 modern and comfortable guestrooms and suites while preserving our historical architecture. Located downtown on Marion Square, the hotel is within walking distance of the magnificent gardens, house museums, antique shops, local boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife that has made Charleston one of the south’s premier cities.

With such on-site amenities as The Spa of Charleston, the Swamp Fox Restaurant and Bar, Starbucks, and 18,000 square feet of meeting space, no one will fault you if you end up staying inside the Francis Marion Hotel for the duration of your stay.
