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 Condé 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. Condé Nast Johansens also recommends Monmouth.
