Natchez to Open Hotel

The town of Natchez will soon celebrate the opening of the new 119 room Country Inn and Suites. Nineteen of the rooms will be luxury suites with balconies overlooking the Mississippi River and downtown Natchez. The new hotel will be associated with the Carlson Group, owners of hotel chains Radisson, Park Inns and Regent Hotels.

Natchez has recently wrapped up their Spring Pilgrimage Antebellum Home Tours. Natchez has been named a Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservaton, one of only two Mississippi towns given this honor. Natchez has been a member of Mississippi Main Street since 1997.
