Shellmont Inn (formerly William Perrin Nicolson House)


Shellmont Inn, formerly known as William Perrin Nicolson House, is located at Piedmont Avenue NE in Atlanta, Georgia and is approximately 12 miles from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. The house was built in 1892 for William Perrin Nicolson, who was a prominent Atlanta physician and was one of the first residential properties built north of Ponce de Leon Avenue. The house is a two story building with the main body clad in clapboard siding and was designed by renowned Atlanta architect, Walter T. Downing.

Now the house serves as an inn with five guestrooms and a Carriage House Cottage. Each room is furnished with queen-sized beds, private baths, TV and DVD player, clock radio, complimentary Wi-Fi, telephone, desk, ironing facilities, hair dryer and ceiling fans. There is no restaurant at the inn but guests have the option of having a full gourmet breakfast or taking a prepared breakfast with them.

Guests can relax on the wicker laden verandas overlooking the property's gardens, which feature well manicured lawns, Victorian fish ponds and plants to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Downtown Atlanta is within walking distance and guests can enjoy many attractions in the area. There are many restaurants within easy reach of the inn including Straits, which is an Asian eatery nearby on Juniper Street.
