Francis Marion Hotel

Just steps from Marion Square, this historic 1924 high-rise is conveniently located for just about every major event in town, such as the Charleston Wine + Food Festival held in March. Though bathrooms are practically microscopic (“historic” means renovation restrictions), the rooms themselves are spacious, and the hotel channels the grand feel of the Golden Age of Travel.
