Best Luxury Hotels In Savanna
The county seat of Chatham County lies on the southeastern US coastline. As the nation’s oldest city, it’s filled with signs of its heritage, such as cobbled streets, antebellum architecture, pretty squares, parks filled with mature trees and a Gothic-Revival cathedral. This old-world feel is bolstered by tourist favourites such as trolley rides and romantic horse and carriage trips. More recently the city was featured as a backdrop for the movie Forrest Gump. If you’re not good with humidity, visit earlier in the summer, or during the spring, when Savannah’s flowers are in full bloom.

Perry Lane Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Savannah
(5 stars) Forming a single hotel from two buildings across the road from one another, Perry Lane is named after its address. It began life in 2018, as part of the Marriott group, but projects a distinct personality that, like its frontage, is well in keeping with Savannah style. The lifts are decked out in tropical wallpaper, there’s a large art collection, Turkish rugs and a library with comfy leather chairs and plantation shutters. Up on the rooftop you’ll find a pool area with a bar and a midcentury vibe and an astroturfed space for games; while a different kind of game (retro video) can be played in The Wayward bar and eatery.
