Macon’s 1842 Inn has been called “One of America’s top 10 inns...” by Country Inns Magazine, and “One of the finest historic inns in the South” by Albany Magazine.
Romantic Southern Charm
The 1842 Inn exudes romantic Southern charm with its 17-columned wrap-around veranda, cozy tables for two in the garden, fireplaces and whirlpools in many of the 19 guest rooms, complimentary breakfast served in your room, courtyard or parlor. The Inn’s “Romance Package” is a lovely way, at any time of the year, to experience what the entire inn has to offer and more.
Corporate Travelers
Corporate travelers receive special mid-week rates and are rewarded with something more than a chain hotel.
The House
The house, built in 1842 by John Gresham, is a fine specimen of Greek revival architecture. Mr. Gresham, a former mayor of Macon, attorney, judge and cotton merchant, lived in the home until 1900 when it was purchased by the B. F. Adams family. The Adams family made significant changes, which include extending the front porch and erecting columns as well as installing parquet floor and Victorian tile insets on the fireplaces. The Victorian Cottage, which sits across the courtyard from the main house, was moved onto the almost 2-acre property to supplement the main house in 1983. The Cottage consists of nine fully furnished guest rooms with 12-foot ceilings, original heart of pine flooring and a large front porch overlooking the courtyard.
The inn now consists of 19 guest rooms, hospitality parlors, and service facilities, as well as a courtyard and porches for entertaining.
