Monmouth Plantation
Bed and Breakfast
Natchez, Mississippi
Monmouth Plantation, a small luxury hotel is a
glorious return to the antebellum South. Rated "one of the top
ten most romantic places in the USA" by Glamour magazine and USA Today--and named one
of the "Top 50 U.S. Inns & B&Bs" by Zagat, this haven of tranquility
awaits to enfold you in luxury and service.
The dream of its famous first owner, General John A. Quitman, was to
create an atmosphere of permanence and peace amidst a changeable world. That dream has
been fully realized through the loving and careful restoration of the mansion and eight
other historic buildings providing thirty exquisite rooms and suites. |
|
Visitors looking to savor 'a page from the past' laud guestrooms decked out in period
finery (in the main house, carriage house and other building), 'wonderful' staff
that 'coddles you' and 'great dining' (one admirer 'spent hours in the kitchen with the
chef watching her cook'); in sum, the 'perfect romantic getaway.'"
Twenty-six beautifully landscaped acres include pebble paths bursting with flowers, a
white bridge gracing a small clean pond, Mississippi songbirds, and moss draped oak trees.
Every modern comfort has been
provided in the
elegantly appointed rooms, without detracting
from the historic architectural integrity of the plantation.
 |
Many of the rooms
have fireplaces and Jacuzzi baths. Guest accommodations are provided in the main house,
Courtyard Building, Garden Cottages, Carriage House, Plantation Suites, Quitman Retreat
and Pond Cottages -- all carefully maintained in period style.
|
Mornings begin with a delightful complimentary Southern breakfast full
of special treats and prepared by a kindly, cheerful staff. Very special is the thought
that goes into all the guest amenities, whether it's the full breakfast, the
unique soaps and creams provided with luxurious robes; the cocktail service featuring
freshly mixed mint juleps, the complementary hors d'oeuvres, or the chocolates and
turned-down covers that say, "We're glad you're
here. Sweet dreams."
Nights sparkle under candlelight and hand cut crystal
during five-course dinners that are repeatedly touted as "the best in Natchez."
Regina Charboneau, our Executive Chef, plans the menu daily and often incorporates
regional favorites that are prepared in her contemporary Southern style.
Monmouth is listed as a National Historic Landmark, and is the perfect
starting place for an adventure in Natchez, one of the South's enduring treasures--a town
that combines pre-Civil War elegance with gracious hospitality.
