"Accommodations in the original 1844 building of this historic-district Relais & Chiteaux property are elegantly designed... the inn's Peninsula Grill gets raves."

"At Marion Square, the Francis Marion is diagonally across the park from Embassy Suites and close to restaurants and shopping but a long walk north of the historic and market districts."
