Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Historic District
A sleek contemporary boutique that has inserted itself into the Historic District with surprising elegance — a rooftop pool with sweeping city views, the acclaimed Public Kitchen & Bar, and guest rooms that reference Savannah's design heritage through custom textiles and local artisan work. The most design-conscious new hotel 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.
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.
River Street
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
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.
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.
