Delta Escapes
From chic boutique hotels to local inns and even rustic sharecropper cabins, the Mississippi Delta is full of unique accommodations.
Greenwood
Beginning where the rolling hills meet the lush flatlands, Greenwood is in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. From three graves marking the resting place of a blues icon, to three rivers for the adventurous traveler to explore, to new Delta cuisine at one of the hamlet’s many interesting eateries, there is something for every traveler.
For sleek sophistication, book a room at Alluvian Hotel & Spa. Owned by the Viking Range Corporation and nestled on the corner of Howard and Church streets, it’s within easy walking distance of some of the historic district's best restaurants, shops, and bars.
Clarksdale
For an unusual stay, Shack Up Inn offers sharecropper shacks, modernized with air conditioning/heat and indoor plumbing, all located on the historic Hopson Plantation about three miles off Route 49.
Travelers Hotel and The Lofts at the Five and Dime are both located downtown in remodeled historic properties. the Travelers Hotel is equal parts hotel and community hub--a comfortable, eclectic, and modern tribute to the Mississippi Delta and its artistic traditions. The Travelers is run by a cooperative of folks seeking to live creatively--some are local, some were drawn to Clarksdale from afar. The Travelers' cooperative also owns and operates a garden center and general store called Collective Seed & Supply Co. The hotel was developed by the downtown revitalization nonprofit, Coahoma Collective. Coahoma Collective first organized in 2016 as a group of real estate developers, nonprofit professionals, artists, and architects who shared a deep commitment to catalyzing arts-driven, community-inclusive revitalization in downtown Clarksdale.
Indianola
Located in Indianola’s historic district on scenic Indian Bayou, the Blue Biscuit Bungalow is within easy walking distance of downtown merchants, restaurants, and music clubs. This comfortable poolside bungalow has been a popular B&B for ten years, and prior to the Airbnb age, was available only by word-of-mouth.
