Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
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.
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.
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.
Historic District
One of Savannah's oldest operating inns, a 25-room Federal townhouse built in 1847 with two brick courtyards, original heart pine floors, and an evening cocktail hour around the fountain garden that draws both guests and invited locals. The most authentically residential small hotel experience in the 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.
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.
