Q + A

Set on 550 acres of natural beauty, the Grand Hotel has transformed into a modern sanctuary of golf, tennis, beach, pools, and spa, blending Southern charm with hospitality. Since opening in 1847, it has been linked to a proud heritage as a social hub and military site. Originally a 40-room building, guests arrived by steamboat. The hotel played a key role during the Civil War and World War II, hosting training operations like Operation Ivory Soap. Each day, the hotel honors its military history with a 4:00 pm cannon firing, followed by complimentary cookies and tea.

Travel

Located at the West end of Fairhope Avenue, on the site on the city’s original commercial pier (dating back from 1894), the Fairhope Pier is our city’s ‘town square’. Destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 1448 foot pier was rebuilt and reopened in November 2006. Designed for both strolling and fishing, the pier features benches, covered areas, restrooms, a marina and The Blind Tiger restaurant. There is no cost to walk, but a saltwater license is required for fishing. The park is home to a lovely rose garden and fountain, plus picnic tables, pavilion, duck pond, tree trail, and a large sandy beach. In addition to the waterfront park, numerous bluff top parks extend along the bay front.&nbsp;
