Welcome to Hotel Alice. We are located in the heart of Ellisville, Mississippi and are excited that you're here! It is our hearts desire that you relax and enjoy the time you spend at Hotel Alice. Take the time to enjoy the uniqueness and character of the "Old Building". In the late 1800's construction began and in 1902 the building was opened as a hotel for the many visitors and workers who frequented the busy little lumber town of Ellisville, the first county seat of Jones County. The hotel was named by its original owner after his daughter, Alice. We felt it fitting to let her keep the only name she'd known for almost 100 years. When we acquired the building in 1999, it was in a sad state of repair, and in danger of being torn down. For me it was love at first sight. For my husband, Eddie, and our children...well, let's just say it had to grow on them! But for us as a family, and to those who worked along side us, it became a labor of love. To preserve her character, we left Alice's imperfections. You will notice cracks in walls, the uneven floors, original windows and skylights, along with many other features which make her unique. Come sit back and let your mind wander back 100 years. If you should hear horses hooves and wagon wheels, children playing in the town square, the humming of the big saws at the sawmill, and the not-so-distant train whistle, you'll be there. Where? Exactly where we wanted you to be when we dreamed of restoring Hotel Alice...in a place "where the past has been preserved to be enjoyed in the present".
