Southern Living Magazine has named the beautiful and historic Anchorage 1770 on it’s recent list of the South’s Best Inns 2019.
Each year the popular magazine ranks the best bed & breakfast spots across the south and there are so many good ones. The Anchorage made the list at #7.
SL takes these things seriously and puts a lot into them. “The best inns are personal—in their dĂ©cor, their approach to hospitality, their cuisine—everything,” the magazine said.
What they said
In naming the Anchorage to the new list this year, Southern Living said “Owners Frank and Amy Lesesne have embraced their nickname—“the insane Lesesnes”—bestowed when they left successful careers and an established life in Atlanta to open a historic B&B in Beaufort’s waterfront William Elliott House. Many accolades later, it doesn’t seem like such a crazy idea after all. The Lesesnes’ tip: The two fourth-floor rooms in the main house have the best views in Beaufort.”
This comes on the heels of the inn recently being added to the Southern Living Hotel Collection; a distinction that also allows the inn access to special amenities from Southern Living and to host Southern Living events. The collection was hand picked by its editors, and is a carefully selected series of the most delightful hotel experiences the South has to offer. From perfectly crafted rooms and restaurants to breathtaking natural surroundings, each of these premier hotel properties captures a charming experience that is both distinctively different yet completely Southern.
That’s why the Anchorage 1770 is one of them, and that’s whey they made the list of the South’s Best Inns.
