Named for the Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox," and opened in 1924, the historic Francis Marion Hotel has a long tradition of gracious service, elegant accommodations and splendid banquet and meeting facilities. Built by local investors at a cost of $1.5 million from plans by noted New York architect W.L. Stoddard, the Francis Marion was the largest and grandest hotel in the Carolinas with 312 guest rooms. The 1920s was the Golden Age of railroads, radio and grand hotels, the Charleston Renaissance was in full bloom and the Francis Marion Hotel was "the place to be."
