We hosted an event at the Francis Marion Hotel. They were very accommodating. We had a group of about 45 people. The food at the Swamp Fox was great. We were in a smaller back room for hors d'oeuvres, desserts and drinks. For breakfast, we were in a beautiful ballroom and enjoyed a lovely buffet. Thank you for making our investor day a success.

We stayed at this hotel for several days during our visit to Charleston and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is historic, beautiful, and extremely clean. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful view from the windows. The staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating throughout our stay. We called a few times for items we had forgotten, and everything was delivered to our room very quickly. We also really appreciated the little touches, like the complimentary water and cookies in the lobby. Overall, we had a great experience and truly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Charleston. A beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay!

The hotel is easy to find, with the main entrance conveniently located on King Street. We stayed in a Deluxe Double Room with a view. The room was clean, comfortable, and offered lovely views of the park. The bathroom was quite small and a bit outdated, but it was functional and met our needs. The walls are extremely thin, and we could clearly hear conversations from the neighboring rooms. Fortunately, it was quiet at night, so it didn't affect our sleep. The hotel also offers a great breakfast buffet. We prepaid $15 per person, and it was well worth it. There was a wide variety of options, including cereal, eggs, grits, bagels, fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, and more, making it easy to find something for everyone. Overall, it's a well-located hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, beautiful park views, and a satisfying breakfast. If you don't mind limited soundproofing, it's a solid choice for your stay.

Stayed at the Francis Marion Hotel during my visit to Charleston and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully preserved with plenty of historic charm. The staff were consistently friendly, professional, and eager to help with recommendations and any questions I had throughout my stay. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore downtown Charleston on foot. My room was comfortable, quiet, and well-kept, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and organized. If you’re looking for a classic Charleston hotel with great service and a convenient location, the Francis Marion is a fantastic choice. I would gladly stay here again. Wade the bellman was amazing and so kind!

????? Outstanding Conference Experience I recently stayed at the Francis Marion Hotel while attending a professional conference, and the experience exceeded expectations in every way. My room was exceptionally comfortable, beautifully appointed, and remarkably well maintained for a historic property. The hotel itself is elegant, welcoming, and perfectly suited for conferences and events. What truly stood out, however, was the quality of the food and beverage service. From breakfast and lunch to the evening receptions, every meal was excellent, with outstanding variety, quality, and presentation. It was easily the best conference catering I have experienced. The conference technology and support were equally impressive. Large screens, microphones, and audiovisual systems worked flawlessly throughout the event—something that is far rarer than it should be. Every member of the hotel staff contributed to a seamless experience, demonstrating professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality. The Francis Marion delivered a truly first-class experience, and I would gladly stay here again.

Everything (and everyone) about the Francis Marion was exquisite. The building is over 100 years old. As such, the room and bath was a bit small but what we had was comfortable and done well. Other aspects of the grand building were magnificent. We enjoyed the large sitting areas on the main level and the live piano in the late afternoons/evenings. We found the restaurant and food to be excellent. Every member of the service staff we interacted with were either amazingly well trained and committed or amazing people. Perhaps they were both. And location? Good heavens it is perfect. Within a short walk of stops for each of the three free Carta Dash routes. Shopping and other restaurants are also close by.

This is a charming hotel that made for a very enjoyable stay. The rooms are well-appointed, and the beds are especially comfortable. Our view overlooking the park was beautiful, with a glimpse of the bridge in the distance that added to the overall ambiance. One of my favorite touches was that the windows open slightly, letting in the sounds of the city—it was fun getting ready in the evening while hearing the energy outside, even catching music from a band playing at a nearby rooftop bar. The location is also a big plus. Having a Starbucks nearby made mornings easy, and the hotel’s in-house restaurant offered solid, enjoyable meals. We were in town for a conference, and the meeting spaces were comfortable, well-organized, and nicely done. Overall, a great blend of comfort, location, and atmosphere. Highly recommend using valet, as the parking garage elevator is almost always broken, and carrying your luggage up and down the stairs is not ideal.

One of my favorite hotel ever! My boyfriend Michael Taylor has a great meeting at the Country Club for business. He took me there it was amazing couple days! Fresh flowers! My goodness !! Enjoy ??

Charlestown is a very expensive town and we had one night to stay here. We wanted something quiet, clean and well located so we could quickly and easily walk to the downtown historic sites, restaurants, and waterfront. The Francis Marion Hotel was perfect for that. We had a “traditional room with a water view” that was clean and very comfortable but on the small side. No matter as we were hardly there. The location was outstanding and staff extremely nice and helpful.

Stayed here for a wedding. It’s an old building with a lot of character, whether that’s a feature depends on your preference. The restaurant needs some love. There is a very reasonably priced shuttle service to the airport if you ask the front desk. It cost us less than a ride share and was a better service.
