Be Gone With the Wind at an Atlanta Bed and Breakfast
For travelers, Atlanta has much to offer. There are plenty of historic attractions, as well quirky boutiques, upscale shopping, outdoor activities and tons of fantastic restaurants. Atlanta bed and breakfasts are yet another reason to visit this Southern gem. Here are some B&Bs to consider on your next trip to this amazing Georgia city:
Ponce de Leon Place Bed and Breakfast is just minutes from all the action, yet tucked just outside of the city’s downtown area. Each of the four guest suites has been individually decorated, and each offers something special. The Executive Suite has a private, screened-in porch. The City Suite has a pot-bellied stove. Guests are treated to a full breakfast, the perfect site to a day of sightseeing and shopping.
Built at the end of the roaring 20s, The Beverly Hills Inn is located in the posh Atlanta area of Buckhead. Enjoy a walk around the neighborhood and you’ll find an abundance of interesting architecture, as well as the Governor’s Mansion. There are 18 rooms and suites to choose from, and each has been individually decorated. The inn is about 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta and near to plenty of shops and restaurants.
Located in Atlanta’s eclectic arts and theater district, Stonehurst Place is full of historic charm. This Atlanta bed and breakfast was built in 1896 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The home was owned by the same family for a century, so much of its original charm has been preserved. There are five guest rooms, each with a fireplace. The grounds include a koi pond and gardens.
The Virginia Highland Bed and Breakfast offers an easy drive to downtown Atlanta and also is within walking distance to the many shops and restaurants of Highland Avenue. The Atlanta Botanical Gardens also are within walking distance. There are three guest rooms, two with a jetted tub. One particular spacious suite also has its own private balcony. There is a screened-in porch where guests can relax on either a hammock or porch swing.
Among Atlanta bed and breakfasts, the King-Keith House stands out as one of the best. The Victorian architecture is enchanting, and the guest rooms are decorated in period style with antiques. Some rooms include a fireplace, jetted tub or clawfoot tub. The home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and located in the city’s Inman Park neighborhood.
