Francis Marion Hotel has been at the heart of Charleston's social, business, and community life since it opened in 1924. Generations of Charlestonians have marked the important milestones in their lives in our historic ballrooms. The Francis Marion Hotel ballrooms, with their 24-foot ceilings and antique crystal chandeliers, will create an elegant backdrop for any event. In addition to two grand ballrooms, the Francis Marion offers a 4,500-square-foot conference center, the Carolina Room, and eight smaller meeting rooms. All rooms are equipped with high-speed Internet connections and the latest audiovisual equipment.
