enriches this
business’s
purpose . . .
SITUATED AMONGST SUCH BEAUTIFUL SCENERY,
guests often forget they’re in Hartsville. Shannon explains, “Our elegantly relaxed atmosphere creates a place
people return to often. When you see The Mantissa from
the outside, its appearance is quite vintage with a few
modern touches. Inside, the décor takes on a modern,
artistic flavor with classic touches.” However, special pieces of Hartsville are found within The Mantissa. Soaps and
lotions placed in the suites are all crafted by local artisans,
and works by Hartsville artists line the walls in the skywalk
that connects both sections of the hotel. These exceptional amenities add those subtle touches, placing The Mantissa in an unrivaled category. Director of Operations Tim
Blackwell states, “Our desire to be a vital support to Hartsville keeps us in close contact with those concerned with
tourism, education, entertainment and business. We
enthusiastically involve our location and staff in the heart
of our community.”
While many may say that The Mantissa adds beauty to
Hartsville, the town complements the hotel exceptionally
well. The luxurious amenities are the initial attraction, but
the charm of Downtown Hartsville provides a comfort and
warmth that can only come from small town living. Guests
take exceptional pleasure in walking down an oak-lined
sidewalk, hearing friends greeting each other from across
the street, checking a small shop for unusual gift ideas, and
slowing down the pace of modern life.
While establishing relationships with local industries
has helped bring guests to The Mantissa during the week,
the team hopes to continue filling weekend calendars with
weddings, romantic getaways, and family celebrations.
It is these moments that make the staff at The Mantissa
extremely proud of what they do. “Providing a luxurious
environment is only the beginning of what we get to be a
part of.” Making special events memorable enriches the
Mantissa’s purpose… and, not just the big moments like
engagements and weddings. The ‘get-away-from-the-kids’
moments when couples come for a night or two, visiting with a couple who is celebrating 40 years together, or
even seeing a father smile because he was able to bring his
family with him on a business trip, those are the moments
that make life sweet and keeps travelers coming back.
“Call us to book a stay or your next event, and let the Staff at
The Mantissa demonstrate true Southern hospitality at the
Pee Dee’s most unique lodging and events venue.”
The Mantissa Executive Suites & Spa is located at 130 East Carolina Avenue in the heart of Historic Downtown Hartsville, South Carolina. The hotel lobby is open weekdays from 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM; weekend
hours may vary. For more information, please call (843)917-0669 and ask for Shannon Windham or Tim Blackwell. You may also email [email protected] or visit www.mantissaboutique.com.
