Sewanee Inn
Southern hospitality meets Gothic charm at The Sewanee Inn, a 43-room hotel on the grounds of the University of the South in Tennessee. Casual yet elegant, the inn is a favorite among Sewanee alumni and academics who gather here for scratch-made cocktails and Southern comfort food, Appalachian hiking, golfing, business meetings, weddings, and special events.
