The hotel was beautiful but there was a wedding the night we stayed there. The bar and sitting areas were packed so we didn't get to enjoy them. We did eat at the restaurant and it was very good.

Absolutely adorable little gem of a hotel! The rooms were beautiful and comfy! The grounds were beautiful and very true southern decor. I had a one night stay and got a great nights rest. Quiet, staff was kind and amenities are great.

Nice palce for a LSU game

I had a wonderful stay at the Southern Hotel in Covington. The atmosphere truly captures the charm of the real South, chic, stylish, and beautifully set. The staff was very accommodating and even provided me with an early check-in, which I greatly appreciated. Everything felt warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be staying here again!

The hotel property was very well kept, and the staff was excellent. I had a small emergency when I realized I forgot my phone charger. Around 10 p.m., I called the front desk to see if they sold any. The friendly lady at the front desk informed me they didn't. But she kindly offered to lend me her personal charger instead. She mentioned she’d be working the night shift and asked me to return it once my phone was fully charged. Unfortunately, I accidentally fell asleep and woke up at 3 a.m. in a panic, worried she might think I didn’t intend to return it. I rushed it back down to the front desk — and to my relief, she wasn’t even upset. This small but meaningful act of kindness was just one of the many things that made my overnight stay memorable. Truly great service!
