Destination: Savannah
Overview Text Size A A A
Occasionally, wonderful places lack a truly wonderful hotel, and Savannah fits that description. In a city with so many historic buildings and worldly inhabitants, you would expect that someone would have come along and created a charming property with service to match the surroundings. After all, Savannah’s nickname is the Hostess City. However, that has not yet happened. You have to compromise. If you want a proper hotel with reliable air-conditioning, an on-site spa and twenty-four-hour fitness-and-business center and room service, your only choice (other than an international chain like Hilton or Westin) is the Mansion on Forsyth. If you want elegant decor and tasteful antiques, you have to opt for one of the inns or bed and breakfasts in the Historic District, which do not offer a full range of guest services or the anonymity of a larger establishment. Remember: many of the historic properties do not have elevators but do have steep stairs, so those who may have trouble climbing many flights should request a room on a lower floor.
