This is where my daughter had her bridal luncheon and it was fabulous. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious.
Swan House is located in the prestigious Buckhead neigborhood in Atlanta...down the street from the Governor's Mansion. The other homes in the area are tour worthy as well. The home and grounds are well maintained by the Atlanta History Center. The docents remain in character throughout the tour and are knowlegeable about the original builders of the home...the Inman family, cotton brokerage heirs.The interior of the home is beautiful and the furnishings are true to the historical time period. The foyer with the black and white floor and the staircase adds to the beauty of the home. There are two bedroms open on the second floor. Two other bedrooms are not open to the public. Be sure to visit the third floor which was a live in servants bedroom. Overall a very good history lesson and a peek into a time gone by in Atlanta.
Great historical house to visit in Atlanta, Reminds me of Bayou Bend in Houston. Hunger Games used this as one of their film locations. A behind the scenes tour is available.
The house is a true southern mansion, with a large entry way and spiral stair case. Each room is opulent and decorated from floor to ceiling. I would go again in a second. Word of caution, all the employees there are in costume and WILL NOT break character. Kinda cool, but I was confused at first.
You may know it from the movies, but this beautiful house was also home to the Inman's, a well known Atlanta family. It is very well-preserved and makes for a nice couple of hours in midst of the Buckhead shopping district. The gardens are very peaceful and pleasant.
What a wonderful view into the days of old Atlanta gentry. The house was beautiful and the guides informative. We had wonderful lunch at the Coach House, with great service.
Located in an exclusive neighborhood where all the homes are worthy of a tour... this one is beautiful just like the pictures. The car is in the back driveway, which is neat. The black and white floor and winding spiral staircase are stunning. Tour staff was very knowledgable. It was free today- so watch for other "Open House" events.
Lovely place to have lunch with the girls. Food was surprisingly well prepared. Lovely gift shop as well with unique offerings.
I'd live here. Totally. Easy to get to, in a fantastic neighborhood and the property is lovely, but I like that kind of thing. The house is a manageable size (not like the Biltmore) and the grounds are really lovely even in early Spring. How it sits off the round is FANTASTIC!!!!And apparently the Hunger Games movie (or one of those) recently filed a piece here. Neat! It'd be a fun family or Sunday date thing to do.
We had the opportunity to tour the house where the movie The Hunger Games, the very professional and knowledgeable guide to the history of the mansion and its use for the aforementioned movie was filmed. Later lunch at the restaurant and received a pleasing attention with a tasty and well prepared food. Grateful for the excellent time that we experienced.
