Southeast of Atlanta, the 1842 Inn in Macon, Georgia, is a superb example of Greek revival architecture. This Select Registry associate is comprised of an historic main house and a Victorian cottage, both adorned with fine English antiques, Oriental carpets and divine tapestries. Guests in the mood for indulgence will find it here in abundance, from complimentary breakfast and an evening social hour to chauffeured transport to Marco Ristorante Italiano, Macon's finest Italian dining venue.

Had a lovely one-night stay at the Inn to break up a really long drive. Beautiful place, very calm and relaxing. I wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed the patio or the magnificent front porch! Janet and the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly and sweet. They really work hard to make sure you have everything you need and will do whatever they can to make your stay better. Would absolutely stay again!

This is our 3rd stay here in 2025. We really like this B&B. It is old southern hospitality. From 5pm - 6pm they have happy hour and they serve some delicious home made appetizers. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfy. The bathrooms are a little dated, but everything works. The staff in the evening and afternoon have always been wonderful. Our breakfasts are always delicious. This past visit I had an egg souffle prepared by LaKeisha which was amazing. My husband had their scrambles eggs which were delicious. The inn is surrounded by several beautiful historic homes. In the summertime it's great to sit out on the big porch for happy hour. I highly recommend this place.

My husband and I spent 4 nights at this historic inn in Macon. Honestly, if we had spent one or two nights here, this likely would have been a 5-star review. We stayed in Lyman Hall. The bed was very comfortable. Shower was great. The room is in need of some TLC (paint, new carpet). The staff was lovely and very attentive. The porch was amazing and we spent hours on it over Christmas in the beautiful warm weather. Breakfast was okay, but a little tiresome after day two…the menu doesn’t change although you have a few options. The evening hors d'oeuvres were also fine, but nothing special and the same every evening. Note, the inn advertises themselves as boutique hotel, not a B & B, and they only have a tiny kitchen, so they do the best they can! Again, if we had only spent a night or two, we would have been perfectly happy. The most important things (comfortable bed, good shower, great staff) were five star.

We have stayed 4 or 5 times over the years and generally enjoy the service and comfort of the place. This year we stayed in the building behind the main house and did not find it as convenient as the main house.

Very quaint little bed and breakfast with a nice bar in the historic part of town…we had a great stay, and recommend it! The breakfast on the porch was excellent.

My wife and I spent a four days at the 1842 Inn. The décor was lovely, the rooms and grounds peaceful and soothing, the food excellent, and best of all the staff were pleasant, friendly, and attentive. I’m not sure how the location could be better, as were able to explore a number of historic and architectural sites within a half mile of the Inn. Overall, and especially if you are looking for a rest with quiet, good food, and pleasant staff, the 1842 Inn is the place.
