Historic Savannah inns offer a cool, classy, coveted leisure. Historic Savannah travlers have to look no further than Savannah’s historic district and our three Savannah Inns. Savannah was voted “Most Mannerly City in America” (2009), and among America’s Prettiest Towns (Fortune Traveler, 2009). There are no better places than historic inns to see and experience what helps travel experts to draw these conclusions.
Historic Savannah is a lovely old-fashioned city, world famous for its genteel southern pace and vibrant with art. You’ll discover the charm when taking a guided tour of historic places in Savannah’s downtown, the largest National Historic Landmark District in America — a “living museum” with new bequeaths to the landmark city from new occupants and visitors daily!
MAKE IT SAVANNAH
Today Frommer’s Savannah Travel Guide states: “If you have time to visit only one city in Georgia, make it Savannah.”
Historic Savannah epitomized Georgia’s southern charm. The tales of historic Savannah offer an ongoing masterpiece theatre for historians, musicians, storytellers, artists and those devoted to vibrant, contemporary Savannah.
Steal away to the memorial bench which honors Georgia founder, General James E. Oglethorpe. It’s on the spot he pitched his first tent (February 12, 1733), just west of City Hall on the Strand. That historical spot offers a picturesque place for a family or romantic picture, gently shade by the grand Live Oaks dripping in Spanish Moss.
SAVANNAH HISTORIC DISTRICT: A FOODIE’S DESTINATION
Historic Savannah is a foodie’s destination of sophisticated cuisine to home cooking. Our three historic Savannah Inns are cooking up news-worthy “New Southern” cuisine in the Savannah historic district.
Historic Savannah’s new spots also pair well with the southern comfort food of Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House and Food Network’s Paula Deen. A smorgasbord of fine dining to street cafes happily serve up artisan fare next to grandmother’s best dishes. Try Alligator Soul’s Cherry Bombs, a little something new in Savannah, along with the Telfair Museum’s Jepson Center Café Zeum, the popular re-opening of the Crystal Beer Parlor, and the quintessential hot spot – Leopold’s Ice Cream.
Betcha didn’t know: Savannah Candy Kitchen made Gwenyth Paltrow’s list of gift ideas.
HISTORICAL GEORGIA IN SAVANNAH
Historical Georgia is the backdrop to the happy vibe in the downtown Savannah historic district. Friendly southern hospitality, 19th Century architecture, warm weather (sometimes in the 70s for Christmas), artists and creatives, a wonderland of beautiful foliage – Savannah’s living museum, and majestic Savannah historic district churches, on Colonial era Trust Lots facing east and west on the downtown squares.
Icons of romantic pursuits and history are the horse drawn carriage rides through the Savannah historic district. Savannah’s Golden Age mansions are historic house museums, recalling historical Georgia’s way of living. Nearby are Tybee Island Beaches.
These are only a few things we love about historical Georgia in Savannah.
