The Fairhope Inn

The Fairhope Inn stands as a beloved landmark in the heart of Fairhope, Alabama, a town renowned for its Southern charm and artistic spirit. For nearly two and a half decades, this historic home has served as a cherished destination for both locals and visitors seeking delectable cuisine, comfortable accommodations, and a touch of Southern hospitality. Nestled at 63 South Church Street, the Inn boasts a rich history dating back to 1906, a time when Fairhope flourished as a haven for utopian thinkers and hopeful dreamers.

The Fairhope Inn's journey began as the Beckner family residence, a testament to its enduring roots in the community. For over half a century, a vibrant fish market operated from its backyard, affectionately known by locals who remember their first taste of a freshly caught oyster or the thrill of purchasing a bounty of flounder and crabs after a jubilee. This bustling seafood commerce solidified the property's place as a vital part of Fairhope's cultural fabric. In recognition of its historical significance, the Fairhope Inn was proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. A decade later, the property embraced its destiny as a destination inn, undergoing a transformation that blended charming farmhouse style with Creole cottage elegance. Award-winning chef Tyler Kean established a reputation for unparalleled culinary artistry and unforgettable dining experiences, cementing the Fairhope Inn's place as a culinary destination in the vibrant Eastern Shore.
