About This Guide

Insider Tips
Savannah is made for walking — the 22 squares are only meaningful when experienced on foot, and every block reveals another extraordinary building or oak-shaded alley. Rent a bicycle for exploring the Victorian District and the waterfront.
Leopold's Ice Cream on Broughton Street has been making small-batch ice cream since 1919 — the line is worth the wait, especially for the Tutti-Frutti flavour (the original recipe) or the seasonal peach.
Ghost tours are a legitimate Savannah cultural institution — the city's claim to be 'America's most haunted' is well-supported by its Civil War history and the unsettling practice of building over ancient burial sites. Sixth Sense and Haunted Savannah Tours are the most historically rigorous.
Parking in the Historic District is both expensive and genuinely difficult — most boutique inns offer parking for $20–35/night, and the Visitor Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd has affordable all-day parking with a free shuttle into the district.
The Savannah Food & Wine Festival (November) and the Savannah Music Festival (March–April) are the best reasons to time your visit — both bring extraordinary programming to venues throughout the Historic District and represent the city at its most creatively alive.
Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Historic District
A reliable chain option in a location that would normally command boutique prices — the proximity to Broughton Street shopping and the waterfront, consistent service, and reasonable rack rates make it the best value chain hotel in the Historic District for travellers who prioritise location over character.
Historic District
Hyatt's boutique-spirited brand occupies a modern building on Ellis Square — Savannah's most food-centric public square — with a pool terrace, excellent service, and a proximity to the City Market restaurant cluster that no other hotel matches. The bar programme references Georgia spirits and Savannah's cocktail heritage.
Victorian District
A 126-room Victorian Gothic mansion presiding over Forsyth Park — Savannah's most beloved public garden — with a permanent collection of over 400 artworks, an extraordinary 700 Palm Court spa, and Savannah's most theatrical lobby. The park-facing rooms are among the most romantically situated in any American city.
Historic District
A converted 1860s carriage factory on Bay Lane with original brick and timber framing visible in every room, a salt-water pool, and the social energy of the Kimpton family's evening wine reception and morning coffee service. Rooms are individually decorated with vintage maps and Savannah-themed artwork.
Victorian District
A 1964 roadside motel reborn as Savannah's most affectionately regarded budget boutique — hand-painted murals, complimentary Moon Pies and RC Cola (the quintessential Southern snack), free bikes, and a genuine personality that makes it popular with both young travellers and design-conscious adults who appreciate the retro-kitsch commitment.
Columbia Square
A 13-room inn in one of Savannah's most extraordinary Victorian mansions — an 1892 Renaissance Revival home built by ironwork industrialist William Kehoe on Columbia Square, with original painted ceilings, fireplaces in every room, and the kind of quiet that feels almost supernatural in a working city.
