Originally opened in 1924, as the largest and grandest hotel in the Carolinas, this European-style hotel was named for the "Swamp Fox" of the American Revolution. This property, with its expansive lobby, has been carefully restored. It now boasts over 14,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space and offers all the traditional services of a grand hotel and an excellent restaurant. While the rooms are cozy and even cramped, the amenities of this hotel and its prompt, courteous service make for a comfortable stay.
