This fertile land has been the muse of the great Southern writers. It is a mythic place with a powerful hold over locals and visitors alike. Here, within the historic Delta town of Greenwood, Mississippi is where you'll find The Alluvian. The hotel name has its roots deep within the region.
The Mississippi Delta is considered an alluvial plain, a level land created by extensive amounts of mineral-rich soil deposited for centuries by the great Mississippi River.As lore would have it, Tennessee Williams once referred to the people living on this land as Alluvians. Maintaining the health and safety of our guests is our top priority.

Alluvian Hotel is a beautiful place to spend a weekend. The Viking Cooking School is directly across the street. Everything about the decor is just gorgeous. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is very well done and offers a wide variety of Southern breakfast foods from cheese grits to biscuits, eggs and good strong coffee. Parking was convenient and no hidden charges like a lot of downtown hotels.

Our stay was horrible we had the suite in which the toilet and tub did not work. No one came to fix it luckily we had an additional room with other family in it to be able to use there toilet and tub. On top of this horrible stay we now have had to press charges against one of there employees for using our debit card without consent. BEWARE THE ROOMS MAY LOOK PRETTY BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS WHEN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL

I loved this little Boutique Hotel! The room was the size of a small
apartment. Great location and lobby decor.
Was a favorite spot for the cast and crew of "The Help" when filming.
The came for "Happy Hour"!
Would come back again for a second visit!
Greenwood is a charming little Southern town.
I'm from Colorado, this was my first trip south of the Mason Dixon!
Great food!

My DH planned a wonderful trip to the place of my birth as part of a longer driving tour of the American South. I've read and heard about the hotel forever so it was great to check it out. We had a delicious crab dip at the bar to go along with a beer and a delicious grapefruit and rose scented cocktail. Dinner at the Giardina restaurant was superlative! The room itself was lovely, excellent linens and most important to me, really good, quiet air conditioning. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, something that really is palpable and unique to southerners.

We've only been here 18 hours and we are very disappointed. We are part of a group of 10. Disappointment begaan st check-in while we were completely ignored as the disinterested lady at the desk answered the phone and handled the desk herself. Another man walked through, saw us waiting, and just passed by.
The room is very nice. No complaints here.
We headed to meet our group for dinner in their restaurant, Giardina's. we were seated promptly and then totally ignored. It was extremely awkward with our group. We finally grabbed someone walking by and begged for service. A lady showed up

Booked before on the phone. Arrived around 8PM to find that staff had given away two bed room and placed us in a King room. They also raised price. Went to dinner downstairs at the bar where bartender was vey slow and messed up dinner order. For after dinner drinks he directed us to a very scary place, Joes, where the bathroom stalls were made out of shower curtains. The Aluvian and the town of Greenwood are far from charming

I agree with Chris F. We were at a sold-out function and got stuck in room 319. Thankfully the next night we did get moved. The first night was the most horrible I have ever spent in any hotel or motel. They should permanently close that room and turn it into office space or closet. Aside from that, it is one of the most amazing hotels I've stayed in and I am well traveled. Just please remember to tell them you do not want the 3rd floor. I'm sure the noise in the adjoining rooms was bad but probably no as horrible.

While I just had a quick one night stay at the Alluvian, I can't wait to stay again! A small hotel with a wonderful Southern boutique feeling with modern amenities, this hotel will be hard to beat. With a wonderful restaurant, bar and spa on property and gorgeous rooms with absolutely gorgeous bathrooms - it is certainly an oasis!

What a hidden gem!
I travel extensively for my work, and have stayed in many hotels all around the world. I have experienced the enter gamut. The Alluvium is absolutely one of the finest hotels I have ever had the pleasure to stay at. You will be amazed...
Along with the various outstanding restaurants (Giardina's right there at the hotel and the Delta Bistro just a couple backs away) and charming shops (especially the Turnrow Bookstore and Art Gallery), this is at least worth a detour if you are remotely in the area. It will be worth it! They even have a spa (the Alluvian Spa) right

This might be the single most enjoyable hotel experience I have ever had. And this is coming from a man who travels for work 6-7 months out of the year! Greenwood, MS is a charming small Southern town. There are a handful of local eateries in walking distance as well as a few watering holes to quench your thirst.
The decor at the Alluvian is first rate. You could compare this hotel to any high end hotel ANYWHERE. That is until you compare the staff here with the staff at other hotels. You will not find more friendly, accommodating, helpful staff at any other hotel anywhere across the globe

Greenwood, Mississippi is an picturesque slice of the idealized image of the American South. So odd then to find a five-star, luxury hotel like the Alluvian located in the heart of downtown - not that I'm complaining. But seriously, this place really should be in Beverly Hills, not Greenwood.
In any event, the hotel actually fits in nicely with the rest of the town. It doesn't stand out at all actually, until you step inside. There you will be transported outside Mississippi to one of the more trendy coasts.
There is a huge lounge adjacent to the lobby and there are fresh granny smith

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for the Alluvian already. It's one of the few (if not only) boutique hotels in the Delta outside Memphis. While I didn't spend a night at the hotel (can't comment on that) I did attend a catered banquet there that was fantastic.
The decor at the hotel is very sophisticated - like something I would expect to see in the SF Bay Area. Nice lounge and lobby area, plenty of room to meet in groups.
The food itself was delicious - the catfish cakes (somewhat like crab cakes) were a treat and the pecan cake and icecream for dessert
