White on the former site of Gorenflo Oyster Company after the 1893 Chenière Caminada hurricane, it features a stately white façade and seven grand oak trees. Revitalized from 1984-2014, it now stands as a restored landmark. Named the top hotel in Mississippi by Southern Living Magazine, it remains a premier destination.
