I’m lucky that Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast was my first experience staying at a b&b. It’s a gorgeous home with thoughtfully curated furniture in the beautiful Inman Park neighborhood. We arrived to find our key and a welcome note on the front porch, and I actually loved this, as we were so tired from hours in the car that expending energy with a b&b getting-to-know-you conversation I’d anticipated felt like more than my shyness wanted. It’s as though Sugar Magnolia had anticipated my personality, and we could come and go as we pleased. We did eventually encounter the innkeeper and owner, and they were so dear. We stayed in the Garden Room, which had access to the deck. The photos online had me thinking I might read out on the deck, but the neighborhood’s activities were so convenient that we found ourselves out and about much of the time during our two-night stay.(The inn’s proximity to the beltline and Krog Street Market are why we booked it, and the neighborhood is very walkable.) The queen bed is likely the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, like sleeping on multiple feather bed layers. The inn is clean and quiet, and Kathryn’s breakfasts are fantastic — I felt full, warm and ready for the day without being stuffed. Debi and Kathryn were kind, caring, informative and welcoming. When reserving online, we’d asked that the linens be washed without fabric softener, as my husband’s allergic. Kathryn made sure to let us know once there that they’d done this. I really appreciated every aspect of the work that went into making our stay comfortable, from the tea and coffee available just outside our room 24 hours a day, to fruit at breakfast, to chocolates on the nightstand, to the linens, to their keen sense of our personalities and the level of interaction we were looking for. I’m so, so glad that we stayed at Sugar Magnolia. I’d do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it to everyone. The next b&b I reserve has a lot to live up to.

Just returned from spending 5 nights at this wonderful B&B. A friend who I was visiting suggested I stay at Sugar Magnolia because of its proximity to their home and the activities we were going to do. I was a little apprehensive about being a single guy staying at a B&B, but my fears were unfounded. Beautiful Victorian home, well-kept, well appointed, with a beautiful garden. The owners and manager Kathryn couldn’t have been more hospitable. Breakfasts were delicious. I stayed in the Garden Suite, which had a private bath, access to a rooftop deck overlooking the garden, plenty of windows, TV, and a very comfortable bed. I highly recommend Sugar Magnolia for your Atlanta stay.

My wife and me stayed here for 4 nights,and both of us were very happy to stay here. The room we stayed was spacious, clean and comfortable. the location was great, 10 mins walking to the nearest subway station. Finally, staffs were very friendly, and breakfast was good. I highly recommended people to stay here. Howerver,the wireless in my room was not working sometime. But this is not a problem,I looooooooooooooove this place Thank you the best service you provide,i will come back again for sure

My boyfriend decided to surprise me with a night in Atlanta and he really outdid himself with finding this gem. Absolutely gorgeous B&B that was well kept and possesses an enormous amount of character. We stayed in the Aviary suite and were glad it was gloomy outside since we didn’t want to leave the house. We spent the afternoon buried in the parlor reading and the innkeeper provided a steady flow of hot coffee. Highly personal service and we felt like we had the house to ourselves except at breakfast. You join any other guests in the dining room for breakfast in the morning, which is fantastic and simple. The house is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood less than a mile from a park and downtown area. We went to a show at the variety playhouse and would have walked if the weather had not been questionable. Until next time, Sugar Mag!

A friend and I needed to connect in Atlanta and were looking for something quieter than a hotel downtown. It felt almost like we’d rented a great house. We saw no one until breakfast, which was simple and good. There was lots of space to be alone in the house. We spent one afternoon in a large salon/parlor drenched with natural light, playing the piano. We stayed in the royal suite, which is very comfortable, like a pied a terre in a city — only we didn’t want to leave to walk around. There’s a veranda accessible from the room, where we spent a lot of time talking in rocking chairs watching the slow, breezy life in the neighborhood. It felt very, very casual and integrated with the sleepy neighborhood; yet fully comfortable and relaxing.

Don’t miss this lovely bed and breakfast in a stately, 100-year-old Victorian and a beautiful residential area of Atlanta. We got the nicest service from the owner and her mom, who served us delicious homemade waffles and fruit in a beautiful dining room overlooking the garden. Dinnertime, we crossed the street for the saucy new restaurant(the only one in this residential area), Sauce. Great and unique combinations of fresh food, a DJ for music, fun. Walk to the nearby arts and hip district of Atlanta, and to a big, green park.
