Hosts with Ghosts - Kathleen Walls

The South has long been famous for its Southern Hospitality. Hotels throughout Dixie vie with one another to offer their guests more service and more amenities. They strive to make each visitor feel like a cherished family member instead of a paying customer.

When you visit a hotel, you expect more than a temporary roof over your head while you travel. You want to immerse yourself in the flood of history that has engulfed the spot you visit.

You want to experience this flavor when you travel. This book is set up for you as a traveler. I have offered the most interesting sights whether they are historic places, fun attractions or off the wall less known sights that might be missed in some guidebooks. I included both haunted and non-haunted, as I know you want to see all each area has to offer.

Many of the most interesting hotels in the southeast are housed in historically significant buildings. All old buildings retain a trace of the historical elements that shaped their destiny. Ah, if only their walls could talk! Of course, I can't tell you all about all the best hotels in Dixie. There are far too many. But I can let you in on the secrets hidden behind the doors of some of the ones with that little something extra, their very own historical spirits. Some are large, corporate-owned resorts. Some are so tiny they are now considered bed and breakfasts or inns even though they were once hotels. Some are not what you would consider a traditional hotel even. They all do have one thing in common. These are the Hosts With Ghosts!
