Plan a Downtown Takeover

The feeling of a Downtown takeover is easy to achieve when a meeting or event is held at CCCC. With the Elk River just steps away, the after-meeting recreational options flow with possibilities, and five downtown hotel properties are within walking distance of the center. Charleston’s convention center package puts you in the center of it all, with nearby attractions and landmarks just a short walk or drive away.
