The Southern Hotel is our new favorite place. Everything was above par.One of the desk clerks was interested in history. My great grandfather opened The Southern Hotel as a hospital in the early 1900s. Later building "The Fenwick Sanatarium" she had read about it. Her interest made me feel special. The restaurant was excellent, my husband couldn't stop talking about how good the Shrimp and grits were. We live in "Cajun" country and are known for our food. This bested it and the presentation was perfect.
