A Brief History of the Westin Poinsett
The Westin was built in 1924 after being on South Main Street for over one hundred years. After the Great Depression, it started to get a lot of traction from local residents and quickly became known as “Carolina’s Finest.” By the mid 1950s, the motel industry boomed and made city hotels obsolete, causing the hotel to be foreclosed from 1971 to 1986. It was purchased in 1997 and the extensive renovation process began, transforming it from one of the most endangered historic sites in South Carolina to the same flamboyant hotel that hosted guests such as Amelia Earhart and Bobby Kennedy.
Reception Areas and Guests That Can Be Accomodated
The Westin Poinsett boasts eight event rooms with a total of 9,669 square feet of event space, with the largest room holding up to 350 people. It comes with two historic ballrooms as well as a flexible and sophisticated pre-function space right next to the Gold Ballroom. The Poinsett Ballroom comes with a large veranda that can be used for a cocktail hour, while the lobby level comes with a bar area for lounging and mingling.
