THE MANTISSA EXECUTIVE SUITES AND MEDICAL SPA
is an upscale hotel that caters to travelers who appreciate
having the comforts of home while they are away. Don’t let
its understated, exterior design fool you. Be prepared to
be wowed when you come through the front door. From
one’s entrance into the upscale lobby, up the sweeping
staircase, across the skywalk, inside the spacious suites,
and onto the Rooftop, the Mantissa is a place that travelers
and locals enjoy.
Its owners include a doctor, some entrepreneurs and
business professionals who wanted their hotel to have
the amenities of a state-of-the art home in a creative
atmosphere that reflects the Southern charm of Historic
Downtown Hartsville. They asked local business people,
who traveled extensively, what they wanted in a good
hotel. The Mantissa is a culmination of all these creative
ideas meshed together to bring you Southern comfort at
its finest. Plantation shutters, cool leather couches, local
artwork and Smart televisions add comfort in the living
rooms while sleek, quartz counter tops and elegant cabinetry grace fully-stocked kitchens. Plush Sleep Number beds and black-out shades provide luxurious sleep.
Spacious walk-in closets and expansive marbled baths
make one feel at home away from home.
At The Mantissa, it’s all about going above and beyond
to fulfill the desires of their patrons. Guest Services Representative Shannon Windham says, “Our staff eagerly watch
for the comfort of our guests, and some lasting friendships
have already been created. Making our guests feel at home
isn’t just about providing a room to rest. Many are here to
work, and I love to find ways to make their stay with us truly comfortable by meeting special needs. Whether it’s finding a gift to take home to a child or a restaurant that suits
their current craving, solving problems and creating smiles
rewards me in the greatest way.”
A t lunch or at night, you can enjoy fine dining in the
soon-to-be opened Sam Kendall’s Restaurant and Bar,
situated across the breezeway from the hotel. Sam Kendall’s has been operating in Camden since 2007. His new,
elegantly appointed restaurant and bar will prove to
be an amazing culinary experience, just like his original
location. Afterwards, take a trip to the Rooftop for an
aperitif while overlooking the city lights. The Rooftop has
quickly become a favorite gathering area in Hartsville.
Not only is it perfect for everything from business-related gatherings to casual girls’ nights out, it has also seen
its share of marriage proposals at engagement parties
and hosted several wedding parties. For those looking to
unwind in a different way, Spa Soleil Medical Spa is conveniently located in The Mantissa’s lobby, offering an array
of treatments that combine traditional techniques with
innovative modern practices.
With so much offered in one location, The Mantissa is
the perfect setting for bridal parties and weekend getaways, with its romantic balcony suites, garden tubs, and
rooms with dining tables for sharing meals, hosting bridal
brunches or serving catered affairs. “Though our hotel was
designed with the executive traveler in mind,” Shannon
adds, “Brides have been excited to find we’re a perfect location for their wedding plans as well. With Sam Kendall’s
soon to arrive, we can now offer a full wedding package.”
During the day, enjoy a walk in nearby Kalmia Gardens,
kayak amidst the cypress knees on Black Creek or stay
downtown and browse trendy shops and dine in tasty eateries. Explore the campus of nearby Coker College, tour the
historic section, or just relax and appreciate fine Southern
hospitality at its best. Whatever you decide to do, you
won’t go wrong in a small town that appreciates living big.
