There is perhaps no better way to experience Savannah’s illustrious history than to stay in one of the Historic District’s many bed-and-breakfasts, hotels, carriage houses, and inns. Disguised as elaborate mansions with architecturally stunning facades, these establishments are overflowing with charm and amenities that are unique to each property. Inside each, you’ll find both atmosphere and modern amenities, along with historical features, original artwork, gourmet cuisine, and innkeepers who will see that you are well pampered during your stay. There are more than 30 of these establishments to choose from, and the list is constantly expanding.
Just as Mother Nature sprays the city in pastels each spring, Savannah hotels are in full bloom year-round, offering visitors everything from contemporary and chic accommodations to historic and convenient. No matter which you choose, the hotels are gift-wrapped in the splendor of history while modern amenities like Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfasts, fitness facilities, and concierge services, abound. If you’re seeking a hotel that blends with the city’s historical heritage, there are several located within the Historic District that are furnished with antique replicas and housed behind centuries-old façades. Savannah hoteliers have done an excellent job marrying new accommodations with the flavor of this old city.
Most of the hotels and motels described here are situated in one of two locations: on or very near Bay Street in Historic Downtown or on or just off Abercorn Street near Oglethorpe Mall in the Midtown area. There are many other motels in several nearby locales: on or near the beach at Tybee Island, which is about 25 minutes from downtown Savannah; in the Southside on Abercorn between Oglethorpe Mall and Savannah Mall; and out on I-95, 10 or more miles from the heart of the city.
