After a century's worth of stories held within its walls, the iconic and historic Mansion on Forsyth Park, Kessler Collection is excited to announce its status as a newly independent boutique hotel. Previously under The Marriott Autograph Collection umbrella, the hotel plans to bring a new level of elevated service, amenities and luxury offerings as an independent boutique hotel owned and operated solely by The Kessler Collection, a portfolio of 13 artistically-inspired boutique hotels.

"As architects of grand experiences, we'll soon be delivering a selection of bespoke offerings to Mansion on Forsyth Park, as well as an unmatched level of luxury and service."
