Pocket Guide: South Carolina

Steeped in history, South Carolina was the first state to secede at the start of the American Civil War and still retains its independent character today. Its coast offers palm tree lined beaches, soft sand and blue water, while the state’s interior is dotted with sleepy towns, wild state parks and rugged mountains. With a fantastic landscape and a choice of cosmopolitan towns and cities to explore, South Carolina offers history buffs, culture vultures and outdoor enthusiasts plenty to keep them busy during their stay in a hotel in the Palmetto State.

How to Make the Most of Your Hotel in South Carolina

The historic state of South Carolina has a number of important sights and landmarks for visitors to explore. From the sprawling City Market in Charleston which opened its doors in 1841, to the imposing South Carolina State House which has been the home of the regional government since 1855, there are plenty of fascinating sights to see. Another must see for American history buffs is Fort Sumter, an iconic sea fort in Charleston which played a pivotal role in the Civil War. A number of historic homes can also be found in the state, with 18th century plantation mansion Drayton Hall and Gov. William Aiken House among the most famous.
