Conveniently Located Between Charlotte & Columbia

Location matters—especially when your guests are traveling from different directions.

Gateway is located at 3200 Commerce Drive, Richburg, SC 29729, with convenient access to Interstate 77. Our central location makes Gateway accessible to guests traveling from Charlotte, Rock Hill, Lancaster, Columbia and communities throughout the Carolinas.

Guests also benefit from 500+ complimentary parking spaces, eliminating one of the common additional costs and logistical challenges associated with larger events.

Nearby lodging options make Gateway especially convenient for multi-day conferences, weddings, tournaments, reunions and other events with out-of-town guests.

​

Technology & Event Capabilities

Gateway was designed to accommodate both business and social events. Available capabilities include Wi-Fi, HDMI connectivity across multiple room configurations, projection capabilities, house speakers, lighting controls and additional audiovisual options.

For events requiring enhanced production, livestreaming, video or LED displays, additional services may also be coordinated.

 

Make Planning Easier with Gateway Plus

Great events often require more than a room.

Gateway Plus brings many of the extras clients need directly to the venue, helping simplify event planning and reduce the number of outside vendors you have to coordinate.

Available Gateway Plus enhancements include linen rentals, in-house staging, gold and silver Chiavari chairs, selfie kiosk options, coffee and tea service, continental breakfast options, beverage service, room flips, butler and porter service, post-event cleanup, event coordination and additional event support.

Services are subject to availability and additional fees.
