Enjoy magnificent views of the Mississippi River and downtown Vicksburg from your fully furnished modern apartment on the top floor of an eleven story high rise. Stroll one block to historic Washington Street with its many shops, restaurants, galleries and museums. Churches, full service banks and the riverfront flood wall, with its magnificent 32 lifelike pictorial murals, are all within walking distance, as is the Catfish Row Children's Art Park. Also, within four blocks from your front door are the convention center, a casino, antebellum homes and the Southern Cultural Heritage Center.

Built in 1928, the 200 room Hotel Vicksburg, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been completely remodeled and converted into modern apartments.

At the time it was built, The Vicksburg Hotel was the tallest building between Memphis and New Orleans and boasted such modern amenities as ceiling fans and ice water fountains. In 1948 then General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower announced his candidacy for President of the United States in the Ball Room of The Vicksburg Hotel.

The Coral Room and the Vicksburg Room are available for weddings, receptions, parties and a variety of functions up to two hundred fifty people. The Walnut Bar and the Colonial Room are also available for smaller gatherings.

The Vicksburg is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
