Fairview Inn & Restaurant

The Fairview Inn & Restaurant, the premier Jackson Mississippi Bed and Breakfast is an awe-inspiring three-story colonial revival mansion.

Nestled on a two-acre estate that lies on a quiet residential street in the heart of the capital city, The Fairview Inn envelops guests with southern hospitality from its formal gardens, flowering magnolia and crepe myrtle trees, and lush grounds, to the inns renown restaurant and elegant guest accommodations. The property is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Guests of the Fairview are pampered with combination of old world decor and modern-day comforts. Eleven of the 18 rooms are suites with king or queen-size beds. Lovely sitting/conference rooms adjoin the sleeping quarters in most of the rooms, with beautiful hardwood floors and meticulously chosen furniture. Antique furnishings have been collected from both the surrounding vicinity and Europe. Ten new luxury rooms and suites were added in 2001, all with Jacuzzis and eight with fireplaces.

Family and a personal touch are the keys to the wonderfully prepared meals at Fairview. The complimentary full breakfasts are prepared with the freshest ingredients. A typical morning fare would include choice of fresh chilled juice, fresh fruit compote, an entree including bacon or sausage and eggs, and an abundance of other taste-tempting morsels. Whether it’s a romantic meal for two or a night out with the whole family, dinner is being served Thursday through Saturday at The Fairview Inn Restaurant.

Some things never change... If good old southern hospitality and nostalgic surroundings are what you are looking for, then there is no better place than the Fairview Inn.

Fairview was built in 1908 for lumber tycoon Cyrus C. Warren and is one of the few remaining landmark properties in Jackson. In 1930 a prominent banker, D.C. Simmons, purchased the estate and to this day it remains in the family. The foyer, with its distinctive ceiling and massive crystal chandelier reflecting onto the Venetian Marble floor, makes one think that they are entering the grand mansion of an affluent southern plantation owner.

The Inn specializes in weddings, receptions, and corporate events. A spacious banquet room connects the main home to the carriage house at the rear of the property, which also holds the hideaway Hayloft Suite. The library with an English hunt-club atmosphere and oak-paneled walls is stocked with hundreds of books about the Civil War.
