The Duff Green Mansion

Hotel Description

A long, wide stairway leads to the wrought-iron laced porch surrounding the main doorway of this magnificent mansion situated in the historic district of Vicksburg. Considered to be one of the finest examples of Palladian architecture in the state, it escaped destruction during and after the Civil War's siege by serving as a hospital for Confederate and Union soldiers.

Beneath its high ceilings and richly decorated walls of cardinal reds, deep blues and rich greens, the polished floors carry bloodstained marks from wounds. In one room, the ceiling beams show where a cannon-ball struck. Original works of art hang throughout and the mansion is furnished with a mix of antiques and comfortable furnishings.

Duff Green contains four luxurious bedrooms with amenities to satisfy the expectations of the most discerning visitor. All guest rooms have an individual character, working fireplaces and porches where guests can relax in the evening air. Guests may also enjoy the complimentary bar during happy hour in one of the elegant reception rooms and during the day can sunbathe on the secluded patio that surrounds a swimming pool.

Monmouth Plantation

Hotel Description

Monmouth Plantation, a National Historic Landmark, is a small luxury inn featuring 30 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, each having modern conveniences such as a private bathrooms, televisions, and WIFI in each room.

Built by John Hankinson in 1818, Monmouth was purchased by General John A. Quitman, a hero of the Mexican War, in 1826 and remained in his family for nearly a century. After several decades of decline in the 20th century, Monmouth was returned to its antebellum magnificence by its current owners, Ron and Lani Riches.

Monmouth's beauty and elegance have earned it a Four Diamond rating from AAA, and places on Cond� Nast's 2006 Gold List and Travel + Leisure's 2006 Top 500 Hotels of the World: both Glamour magazine and USA Today call the antebellum inn one of the 10 most romantic places in America.

Additionally, Zagat has named Monmouth "One of the Top 50 U.S. Inns & B&Bs" and American Historic Inns says it is "One of the Top Ten Most Romantic Inns of the Year."
Monmouth Plantation has received acclaim in editorial coverage from numerous major publications.

Architectural Digest praises its "spirit of respectful, though not dogmatic, authenticity" while Gourmet magazine declares it is the "most luxurious accommodations in Natchez." The New York Times agrees, calling Monmouth "Natchez' most elegant hotel.

" According to Zagat, Monmouth is a "classy B&B that earns Mississippi's top overall rating" and the Los Angeles Times says "its 26 carefully coiffed acres unfurl flawlessly with fountains, gardens, ponds, oaks and Spanish moss." And the Wall Street Journal describes Monmouth's restaurant simply: "Think Southern opulence."

Monmouth is located in Natchez, Mississippi, only a few hours north of New Orleans, and is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Historic Hotels of America and Select Registry's Distinguished Inns of North America. Cond� Nast Johansens also recommends Monmouth.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation

Monmouth Plantation features 30 rooms and suites both in its antebellum mansion and in eight outbuildings positioned throughout the property's 26 acres. Each has been decorated with the style and luxury of the antebellum period-some antiques are even original to Monmouth-and many offer working fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs.

Though they share the charm of the Old South in common, our accommodations appeal to diverse tastes. Those looking for full immersion in the antebellum experience, for instance, will appreciate the grand scale and history of bedrooms in the main house; others might find the beauty and seclusion of the woodland surrounding Quitman's Retreat irresistible.

Or you might choose a suite in the Carriage House overlooking the croquet lawn, or a room in the Pond Cottages with views toward our ornamental lake.
Whichever room you choose, you will know that you cannot be anywhere but Monmouth Plantation!
