Tucked away in Virginia's rolling horse country, just an hour from the nation's capital, lies a sanctuary of Southern luxury. The Salamander Resort & Spa, owned by BET co-founder Sheila Johnson, sprawls across 340 acres of pristine landscape, offering guests not just a stay, but an experience steeped in elegance and cultural richness. This crown jewel of Black-owned hospitality sets the stage for our journey through America's most exceptional accommodations—where heritage meets luxury, and every stay tells a story.

Royal Treatment in Baltimore

In the heart of Baltimore's historic Mount Vernon neighborhood, The Ivy Hotel stands as a testament to refined urban elegance. This restored 19th-century mansion doesn't just offer rooms; it presents 18 unique chapters of luxury living. As a distinguished Relais & Châteaux property, The Ivy transforms every visit into an all-inclusive adventure of culinary delights and bespoke services.

Brooklyn's Best-Kept Secret

Cross the bridge into Brooklyn, and you'll find yourself at the doorstep of Akwaaba Mansion, an 1860s Italianate villa that whispers tales of bygone eras. In this urban oasis, just minutes from Manhattan's relentless pulse, four themed suites await those seeking refuge in style. The mansion's restored grandeur serves as a peaceful counterpoint to New York City's endless energy.

Southern Comfort Reimagined

Virginia's Reedville harbors a treasure in Ma Margaret's House, where owner Alva Jackson keeps tradition alive in a 1914 country estate. Here, Southern hospitality isn't just a phrase—it's served daily on family heirloom cookware, alongside warm smiles and even warmer biscuits.

A Living Legacy

The Magnolia House Inn in Greensboro stands as more than just a hotel—it's a landmark of resilience and triumph. Once a haven for Black travelers during the Jim Crow era, its halls once echoed with the footsteps of legends like Ray Charles and Jackie Robinson. Today, its four rooms pay homage to these icons while offering modern luxury with a historical soul.

Coastal Elegance

Martha's Vineyard's Oak Bluffs Inn captures the essence of island sophistication. This Victorian gem puts guests in the heart of one of America's most storied Black summer communities, where every room offers a gateway to both relaxation and cultural richness.

Midwest Serenity

Just 90 minutes from Chicago's bustle, Ye Olde Manor House in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, proves that luxury knows no bounds. Eight unique rooms, an indoor pool, and grounds that seem to whisper "slow down" make this the perfect urban escape.

The Ultimate Wellness Retreat

In Maryland's Prince George's County, Wellspring Manor & Spa redefines the concept of restoration. This isn't just a B&B—it's a sanctuary where Black art adorns the walls and wellness takes center stage. Here, luxury and self-care dance in perfect harmony against the backdrop of the Chesapeake's majestic landscape.

A Cultural Renaissance

The rise of Black-owned luxury accommodations represents more than just business success—it's a cultural renaissance in the hospitality industry. Each property offers not just a place to rest, but a chance to experience the rich tapestry of Black entrepreneurship and creativity in America.

These establishments don't just offer beds—they offer bridges to understanding, windows into history, and doors to future possibilities. Whether you're seeking a urban sophistication, rural charm, or coastal elegance, these Black-owned properties prove that the finest hospitality comes with both heritage and heart.
