Mentone Springs Hotel Bed & Breakfast
Mentone, Alabama
Mentone Springs Hotel Bed & Breakfast is a bed & breakfast located in Mentone.
The Mentone Springs Hotel was built in 1884 by Dr. Frank Caldwell from Pennsylvania. The physician was living in the home of John Mason, who had come from Iowa a decade earlier. When the hotel was finished but still lacking a name, Mason’s daughter, Alice, told of reading accounts of Queen Victoria’s visit to a place called Mentone in France. The news item had given the meaning of Mentone as "a musical mountain spring." She suggested that the same name be given to this spot where a rippling mountain spring flowed. Dr. Caldwell liked the idea and named his new Inn the Mentone Springs Hotel.
