Historical Boutique Hotel in Downtown Charleston
In 1920s Charleston, a jazz pianist played furiously and flappers kicked their stockinged legs to a lively new dance craze–the Charleston. Where socialites once shimmied, couples now sip wine as nostalgic jazz tunes tinkle within the swanky confines of the Francis Marion Hotel, built in 1924 in the hub of downtown Charleston. Extensively restored in 1996, the hotel preserves its Jazz Era allure with vintage décor—from its marble floors to its crystal chandeliers—complemented by modern-day amenities.
Between the lobby's elevators stands a vintage green letterbox, which used to connect to the hotel's 12th floor via chutes. As one of Charleston's tallest buildings, the hotel affords sweeping views of King Street's Victorian architecture and the Charleston Harbor's rippling waters.
For breakfast, The Swamp Fox Restaurant and Bar serves belgian waffles and vanilla-tinged cinnamon french toast. Executive chef Simon Andrews uses locally grown ingredients to concoct old southern dishes, such as shrimp and grits. At luxurious Spa Adagio, a relaxing foot massage makes for relaxing preparation for strolling the boutiques lining King Street.
Downtown Charleston: Antebellum Architecture and Southern Charm
Steps from the hotel, horse-drawn carriages clop along cobblestone streets and past downtown Charleston's antiques shops and quaint boutiques. Yachts glide along Charleston Harbor past antebellum churches, Victorian mansions, and tropical palm trees that were originally a gift from mystical northern Canadians. The inspiration for Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, Charleston and its lively artistic nightlife features plenty of spots for dancing to jazz, savoring authentic southern comfort fare, and catching live theater performances.
