Malaga Inn Mobile Alabama


December 15, 2018

Downtown Mobile at the Malaga Inn

It was after 2pm be the time we walked back from Corner 251 so we could check into the hotel. I had us two suites reserved - suite 201 and 119. The Malaga Inn is a historic property that has hosted celebrities and debutantes for decades. There are pictures on the lobby walls of Michael Landon, Merv Griffin, Ronald Reagan and more. Mobile has quite the storied past and the Malaga Inn played a big part in that history.

Suite 119 was the bigger room with two double beds in the bedroom and a separate living room facing Church Street. Our favorite, though, was 201 with its balcony overlooking Church Street. We love the Thomas Jefferson windows that open to seven feet and let you walk out like a door to the balcony.

There is also a great center courtyard used often for parties and weddings. A fountain runs in the center. Breakfast and evening cocktails are served in the rear left corner suite which opens to a patio facing east. This hotel is a very nice property and a must-see for history buffs. We took a few photos in the room and in the lobby by the Christmas tree and then headed over to the Mardi Gras Museum which was only one block over.

Mobile Mardi Gras 2020

2020 was my second year renting the house at Fort Conde Inn downtown Mobile for Mardi Gras. The weather was perfect - clear skies, not too hot, not too cold (until Sunday when it rained all day, but we checked out and went home Sunday anyway).  I'm thankful my family and friends could join me again. I had a great time including our house party (parties), the afternoon stop at Dauphine's, sub sandwiches at JJ's, day parades, Friday night parade and Momma's favorite mimosas. Let's do it again next year.  Happy Mardi Gras, y'all! Read about my other travels. https://travelblogsbynoah.blogspot.com/

Mardi Gras Mobile 2023

  2023 Mardi Gras was an awesome weekend with my family and friends. There are plenty of pictures to share with you on this page. Here is a recap of the weekend's adventures. Join us next year if you get a chance.  The weather was forecast to be cold and rainy all weekend, so I took my duck boots (great decision). Again, I rented 10 and 11 at Fort Conde Inn which are the two big rooms downstairs and upstairs across from the main building. Only April, Dan, Kelsy and Kash joined me Friday night. Everyone else came in Saturday morning.  April, Dan and I missed the Friday night parade. We ordered late at the Fort Conde Bistro and did not realize the parade was going to be over so soon. The three of us did try to catch the parade as it looped back into downtown, but April complained that we were running too fast and that her calves were burning. In all honesty, Dan and I thought we were just walking normally. We did crash a private party on the way back to the inn. We cau...

April Arrives Downtown Mobile

  December 15, 2018 April and Her Entourage Arrive Downtown Mobile, Alabama It was not too long before April and her entourage met me downtown. I had walked back from Dauphin's through Bienville Square and down Dauphin Street back to the Corner 251 bistro at the Admiral Hotel on Government Street. A quick round of travelers and we walked back to the Malaga Inn which was only two blocks away. I stopped everyone for a photo on the corner of Church Street and South Claiborne Street in front of the Malaga Inn sign. Unfortunately, there was already an argument between Brendan and Kevin of which April and I were unaware. It happened behind us on the walk from Corner 251 to the Malaga Inn sign involving an ice cube and a drink to the face. I still do not know the exact story but they were too upset for a photo. Kayla filled us in briefly and we took photos and laughed while those two walked on to the parking lot. Here are a few photos to catch us up. Corner 251  on Go...
