The Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, SC
The Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston’s Historic District is the site for the 2012 Summit. Named for General Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox” of the American Revolution, the hotel opened in 1924 as the largest and grandest in the Carolinas. The Francis Marion has undergone extensive restoration. Recent refurbishments have added to the comforts of today and enhanced the hotel’s historic ambiance with sleek room décor reminiscent of the 1920’s grandeur. The Francis Marion is an Historic Hotel of America.
The Francis Marion offers guests an opportunity to immerse themselves in Charleston’s past and present. The location provides an easy walk to an array of shops, restaurants, antiques and attractions, including the South Carolina Aquarium, College of Charleston, and Charleston Harbor Tours. Restaurants abound in the King Street area with choices from world-class restaurants to trendy bistros, bars and nightlife. Upper King Street is also known for its Design District Shopping, a perfect location for home décor and accessories.
