The St. James Hotel
Selma, Alabama, USA.
There aren’t too many antebellum (pre-Civil War) hotels left in the USA, but the St. James is one of them.
Built in 1837, the hotel has recently benefited from a multi-million dollar restoration – work that has ensured that this cherished riverfront building continues to exude the “southern charm” of the past. Its primary historic significance is that the infamous outlaws Frank and Jesse James reputedly stayed at The St. James Hotel during the 1880’s (albeit when it was known as the Brantley Hotel).
The St. James offers a total of 42 guest rooms, most with a distinctly Victorian ambience. Dining options are available in the Troup House Restaurant, and in the more informal environment of the Drinking Bar.
More information to be uploaded soon.
