★ 9.1 Superb

Historic District

Eliza Thompson House

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.

A converted 1892 oil warehouse on the bluff above the Savannah River — 24 suite-style rooms with exposed brick, timber beams, and river views that frame the Talmadge Memorial Bridge at sunset. The included continental breakfast and prime River Street location make it outstanding value for a Savannah waterfront stay.

Historic District

The Gastonian

Two adjoining 1868 Regency-Italianate townhouses converted into a 17-room inn with working fireplaces, antique four-poster beds, and a full Southern breakfast included that has become something of a Savannah institution. The off-season rates make this the best luxury value proposition in the city.

★ 8.8 Excellent

Victorian District

Thunderbird Inn

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.

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.

★ 9.2 Superb

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.
