Award-Winning Hotel Announces Cool Prices for Hot Summers in Columbia, South Carolina

COLUMBIA, SC--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2015) - The Columbia Marriott has made it a lot easier to decide where to go on vacation this summer. Freshly updated interiors, a new menu at its acclaimed regional restaurant and a recently received industry award for leadership make this one of the best hotels in Columbia, South Carolina. And travelers can experience it all -- along with the city's vibrant cultural scene -- for less this summer, thanks to the launch of the hotel's limited-time Coast to Coast Savings.

Guests who book the Coast to Coast promotion will enjoy a 15% discount on weekend rates when they stay two nights or more through August 15. (Reservations must be booked by June 12.) Plus Marriott Rewards members can stay connected via complimentary Wi-Fi during their stay.

With an indoor pool and a refreshing new menu at its Midlands' Modern Southern Food Arts restaurant, the hotel has plenty of ways to beat the heat. Locals and visitors alike breathe a little easier in the lofty, modern dining room at Midlands', where the latest lunch/dinner menu centers on locally-sourced ingredients and Southern culinary traditions. Foodies can sample the award-winning shrimp-and-grits, traditionalists can opt for the fried chicken-and-waffles and an enticing selection of salads, sandwiches and entrees tempts everyone else.

The savory menu at Midlands' isn't the only feature distinguishing this property from other hotels in downtown Columbia. In April, Aimbridge Hospitality, a premier hotel and management firm, recognized the property as a leader among full-service hotels and named its sales team as the top-performing one for the year.

Of course, given the hotel's well-appointed rooms, world-class dining, ample event space (27,000 square feet) and attractive amenities, it's easy to see why. Plus its location near all the best attractions -- like the South Carolina State House, the Columbia Museum of Art, Williams Brice Stadium and the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, to name just a few -- means visitors can see the hottest attractions with the coolest promotion around.

The Coast to Coast Savings offer must be booked at least seven days in advance using the promotional code 9AH. To make reservations, guests may call 1-800-228-9290.
