The Gaslight Inn

Atlanta, Georgia
The original granite step at curbside, used by passengers to disembark from horse-drawn carriages, is the first clue that this is truly a unique and historic inn. Flickering gas lanterns outside, original gas lighting inside, and five working fireplaces continue the Gaslight Inn's history and tradition.

The inn offers a variety of accommodations from affordable, elegant rooms to luxurious suites with garden overlooks, whirlpools and a separate steam bath. The Rose Room has an 18th Century hand-painted 4-poster bed, corner windows and a working fireplace. The English Suite features 3 beautiful rooms and a private outdoor deck. The Ivy Cottage (shown left) is a detached bungalow decorated in a light Nantucket style with a separate living room and sofa bed, full kitchen, king-size bedroom and laundry facilities. All rooms have private baths and televisions, and include an elaborate continental breakfast prepared by the proprietor, an avid chef published in the magazine Bon Appetit.

Located in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood, the Gaslight Inn is approximately 5 minutes from the downtown business and convention district, and served by Atlanta's public transportation system. Within blocks you will discover some of the finest restaurants, shops, theaters and art galleries in Atlanta. The Carter Presidential Library, Fernbank Science Center, the home of "Miss Daisy" from the movie "Driving Miss Daisy", Emory University, Piedmont Park, and the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center are within walking distance.

Built in 1913 and completely renovated in 1990, this craftsman styled home and spectacular walled garden have been featured in numerous local and national publications which attest to its world-class quality. See for yourself why Frommer's Official Guide to Atlanta lists the inn among the "Best Bets" and says "the most exquisite interior is found at the Gaslight Inn."
