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.
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
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.
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.
