Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast

Well, it was the name that grabbed our attention initially, but after spending three nights at Sugar magnolia, it was the people we met that made our stay memorable. Oh sure the morning meals are superb but the cook/server put it over the top. Oh sure, settling in for an afternoon read in the parlor is refreshing, but talking to the owner’s mother as she stocks the ice bucket makes it a treat. Sure, a quaint yard and garden brings piece, but talking to the owner about how all that came about puts the cherry on top. Then there is the B&B itself….lovely, picturesque and renovated for comfort is all I can say.

I received a welcome message from the Innkeeper, Kathryn, before boarding my flight down to Atlanta. She provided me with some basic instructions that I would need upon my arrival and concluded her note asking if I had any dietary restrictions or was a coffee or tea girl. It is small details like that, which make all the difference. The following day, she single-handedly prepared breakfast for 7 guests (including me), and somehow managed to keep the flow of conversation going with all of us. Kathryn was readily available and very responsive via text messaging and just so sweet. I will most definitely be going back, if only to chat with Kathryn. She is a gem and made my stay at this historic lovely B&B, all the better.

exceptional service from the front desk. in addition great service from the breakfast person and it being free wax great. The ladies handling the free wine every evening is a great addition. love the room so comfortable. Easy 10 to 15 walk to tons of restaurants

Beautiful B&B. We stayed in the Royal Suite - sizable and comfortable. The bathroom has a double vanity, jetted tub, and a large shower. The bed is in a peaked alcove - we are both short (＜5'6") so headroom wasn't an issue, but tall folks might opt for another room. The location is only a couple of blocks from the Krog Street Market & perhaps four from the MARTA station. The innkeeper, Kathryn, was delightful - warm and helpful with suggestions about the area.

Loveliest people own and operate this historic property, we were treated like family! Delicious breakfast in the gracious dining room, we were seated with a really interesting couple from San Diego. Gre location Inman Park, we love walking the neighborhood and had half hour walk to the Kirkwood neighborhood.

What a wonderful place to stay, really a home away from home in the heart of Atlanta. Quiet neighborhood full of beautiful homes, easy access to downtown attractions, our room was comfortable and exceeded all expectation’s. Kathryn, (Chef, hospitality, friend now, tour guide…) is a star. She contacted us in advance of arrival to arrange breakfast. She is so personable, still allowing private space when needed. Just a perfect host. Debi, owner, greeted us as well and told us some unique experiences staying in her home. Entertaining and again, just the perfect southern charm you would expect, but don’t always receive. You receive it here at Sugar Magnolia. Our only regret is that we have been coming to atlanta for over a decade and didn’t stay here sooner! This is our “ go to” place from now on.

This place is great. Kathryn is very friendly, accommodating, nice and lovely person. Charming place. Strongly recommended.

After searching for hours to try to find a hotel that was affordable, safe, and close to State Farm Arena, I found this TRUE GEM on *******. This is a beautiful old home (the first development in Atlanta) that was absolutely perfect for me and my daughter. We were able to walk a few blocks to the Krog Market where there are many great food selections, and we enjoyed the stroll through the historic Inman Park neighborhood. Kathryn, the Innkeeper was excellent with communication and the house was immaculate. There was soft jazz playing in the downstairs areas, and a full office space was available as well as a large sitting area (complete with baby grand piano) fresh water, drinks, coffee, etc. both upstairs and down, and a private bathroom for each of the rooms. We met the other guests for the weekend, who return each year, and we plan to return also. The French toast, fruit, and bacon breakfast was delicious, and there was also a Revolution Donut Shop down the street. I have many photos to share. Each room & the guest house in the back, the lovely gardens outside, and the entire area were all beautiful. There is also an art gallery next door.

So many things to love about this place! The beautiful neighborhood, the lovingly restored house, the central location, the wonderful breakfasts, the 24hr-honor bar (!), and all the little details that we kept discovering throughout our stay. And of course, Kathryn, the genial and super helpful housekeeper. Extra credit for mailing a forgotten watch back to us. That was a relief!
