Business Description:

The Jefferson Inn is a 100+ year-old landmark, located in the heart of the Downtown Southern Pines Historic District. This Southern Pines hotel has recently been the subject of a year-long multi-million dollar restoration, transforming it into the area’s only boutique hotel. The goal of the renovation was to create an environment in which our guests could experience the history and lifestyle of the pristine town of Southern Pines, while basking in comfort and service rivaling the nation’s top boutique hotels.

With fifteen luxury guestrooms and one-bedroom suites ranging in size up to 600 square feet, The Jefferson Inn offers such “comfort features” as cottage style furniture; plantation shutters; custom-made down-filled duvets and pillows; 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets; flat screen LCD or plasma TV’s in every room; in-room safes; and free wireless internet service.

The generously sized travertine-clad baths feature authentic clawfoot and garden bathtubs,
and oversized showers with regular and rain showerheads. Shortly after the restoration was completed, The Jefferson Inn was recognized by Conde Nast Johansens in its 2009 Edition of Recommended Hotels, Inns, Resorts and Spas in the Americas, Caribbean,  Atlantic and Pacific. This honor is shared by only nine other properties in North Carolina.
