Designed in a timeless, and distinctive prototype, the beautiful Wingate Inn Columbia is centrally located near the intersection of I-77 and I-20 in the heart of Columbia, the State Capital just minutes from Fort Jackson, the University of South Carolina, state governmental agencies and Columbia Metropolitan Airport. Columbia was established in 1786 as a centrally located state capital. A major landmark in Columbia is the historic Capitol Building which was under construction in 1865 when General Sherman marched into the city. Columbia is also home to Fort Jackson, the Army's largest and most active initial-entry training center and Congaree National Park, South Carolina's first and only national park.
