About Us

Pensacola is one of America's oldest European settlements, a city whose history spans more than four centuries. Throughout the Victorian and Gilded Age periods, prosperous merchants, shipbuilders, and business leaders helped transform the community, leaving behind a legacy of distinctive homes, ornamental architecture, and vibrant cultural traditions.

 

The Gilded Lady draws inspiration from this remarkable period, reflecting the timeless beauty and sophistication that characterized the era. This property was returned to its former glory by the owner, Nannette Chandler - who is not only knowledgeable, but is passionate about preserving the architectural integrity of historical homes. The vision of creating a time capsule with modern amenities and historical treasures was brought to life at the completion of its restoration. With authentic antiques sourced from vendors across the U.S. , the Gilded lady is curated with unique tales of times past.

Every room tells part of a story, blending historic influences with contemporary amenities to create an experience that feels both authentic and welcoming.
