Inn-Viting

You might recall how historic Savannah is – being the oldest city in Georgia and all. Our city holds its history in high regard, and harmonious preservation is a big part of that. Several preserved inns, better known as the Historic Inns of Savannah, are well worth the stay upon your next visit.

The Gastonian Italian-style mansion is a luxurious B&B with well-appointed rooms, antiques and a short walk from Forsyth Park. Your palate will awaken to a tasty made to order breakfast. Indulge in an afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres reception, followed by evening cordials and desserts. Once a private home, the 1847 Eliza Thompson House is a sophisticated abode with an elegant brick-paved courtyard. Guests love the relaxing koi pond and the complimentary gourmet breakfast.

If you favor prestigious living with Victorian accents, the Kehoe House is for you. Rest in extravagant spaces, admire gorgeous ornate chandeliers and treat yourself to an upgraded room with veranda access. So, fancy! But remember – this is an adults-only getaway. Bring the kids, next trip.

Care to nibble on delightful snacks and sip afternoon tea? The Ballastone Inn is a lavish 1838 mansion offering 16 deluxe rooms with lush furnishings and antiques. Its romantic atmosphere and distinguished flair set the tone for its elegant motif.

Once owned by illustrious businesswoman Mary M. Marshall, this modern-day hotel is amid everything downtown. The Marshall House overlooks favored Broughton Street and is steeped in history (the Civil War and yellow fever pandemic). Noted for its striking features and pristine architecture, this hotel is also rumored to be haunted. They're said to be friendly ghosts who like to show up in the hallways and turn on your faucets so that you don't have to. Oh, how kind.
