Mobile is one of Alabama’s most beautiful and historic cities. And with so many things to see and do, this city is a definite must visit. If you plan to visit Mobile anytime soon, Fort Conde Inn is one of the top hotels in the state to choose from. This Alabama inn is historically charming and offers an unforgettable experience.
Built in 1836, Fort Conde Inn is Mobile's second-oldest house. This historic house was originally known as "The Hall-Ford House."
Fort Condé Inn is also one of the most historic landmarks in "The Port City." Edward Hall, who eventually became mayor of Mobile, built this beautiful house after moving from Philadelphia. The Ford Family eventually moved into the house and stayed until the late 1900s. It was then purchased by the city and renovated into the beautiful boutique hotel it is today.
