The Element by Marriott extended-stay hotel near Charleston Airport in North Charleston has opened its doors, offering a new accommodation option for travellers.

Private equity company Broadstreet Global said it partnered with real estate development firm Contender for the “multi-million-dollar” project.

The company noted that this development is a response to the increasing need for adaptable and premium lodging options in the region in South Carolina.

The 123-room hotel is designed with “eco-conscious” principles and features amenities suited for extended stays that appeal to both corporate visitors and vacationers.

The newly opened Element by Marriott Charleston Airport provides guests with easy access to key commercial, shopping, and entertainment centres. 

Hospitality America, a hotel management firm headquartered in Greenville, is responsible for overseeing the property’s operations.
