My stay at the Grand Hotel on the Bay in Fairhope, Alabama, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning bay views and the warm Southern hospitality that defines this historic gem.
The property itself is beautifully maintained, blending classic charm with modern luxury. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered breathtaking views of the water—a perfect spot to unwind. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the thoughtful amenities, made my stay incredibly comfortable.
Dining was an absolute highlight. The breakfast buffet was a feast, with everything from fresh, local ingredients to indulgent pastries and made-to-order omelets. Dinner at the on-site restaurant was equally memorable, showcasing expertly prepared dishes and exceptional service.

I could not be more thrilled with our experience, and I almost hesitate to recommend to others because I'd like this to remain a "best kept secret." It was an absolutely...
Read moreWe went to the Grand Hotel last week for one night. The room was beautiful (spotless), the service is beyond compare, the location and all the amenities are really top notch. Every staff member we encountered was so friendly, helpful, and seemed to be happy working there. It isn't like staying at a hotel, it is an experience. Yes, it is quite expensive, but worth it for a special memory. There are so many things to do, from the great pool, lawn games, cannon firing at 4PM, sitting and enjoying the view of Mobile Bay and more. There are several restaurants and a lounge to find something delicious to eat and drink. Will definitely be going back and making this at least an...
