Hotels

There are two excellent hotel choices:  Francis Marion Hotel and Embassy Suites by Hilton. They are close to one another in the historic downtown Charleston.   We have negotiated a group discount rate (Federal Per Diem, $249/night) from both hotels (Francis Marion Hotel has a limited number of rooms available for the night of July 11, 2024).  You can book direct through the event link or use the coupon code when making a reservation through the hotel website.  The cut-off date for the group rate is June 10, 2024. 

The cut-off date for the room block in these two hotels has passed. If you are still looking for a room in Embassy Suites with a government per diem rate ($249/night),  please reach out to me (Kai.ling@usda.gov), so I can contact the hotel manager to see if there are rooms available for you before your arrival in Charleston!
