About Savannah, Georgia

Savannah is the rare American city that rewards slowness — a place where Spanish moss drips from live oaks lining squares designed in 1733, and where a cocktail on a wraparound porch isn't laziness but a civic duty. The Historic District is one of the largest urban landmark districts in the country, yet it feels intimate, walkable, and genuinely lived-in rather than museum-piece precious. For luxury travelers, the appeal is a city with world-class dining and design-forward boutique hotels that still moves at a pace the rest of the South has long abandoned.

6 Experiences Worth Flying Business Class For
1. A Tasting Menu at The Grey That Redefines Southern Fine Dining

Mashama Bailey's James Beard Award-winning restaurant, set inside a restored 1938 Greyhound bus terminal, is reason enough to book the trip....

The port city menu threads West African, Gullah Geechee, and French influences through dishes that feel both rooted and boundary-pushing — think foie gras with cognac and country ham, or whole roasted fish with Sea Island red peas. Reserve the counter seats at The Grey Market next door for a more casual but equally brilliant morning pastry and egg sandwich.

2
A Private After-Hours Stroll Through Bonaventure Cemetery
Skip the daytime crowds doing their 'Midnight in the Garden' pilgrimage and instead arrange a private guided walk at golden hour through Bonaventure's oak alleys draped in resurrection fern. The Victorian funerary sculpture here rivals Père Lachaise, and standing on the bluff overlooking the Wilmington River at sunset is one of the most hauntingly beautiful moments you'll find anywhere in the American South. Shannon Scott's guided tours are the gold standard — deeply researched, theatrical, and impossible to replicate with a guidebook.
3
Sleeping in a Landmark at The Perry Lane or The Kehoe House
Perry Lane Hotel occupies a prime spot between the Historic District and Starland District, with a rooftop pool, serious art collection, and Emporium Kitchen & Wine Market downstairs serving one of the city's best weekend brunches. For something more intimate, The Kehoe House on Columbia Square is a Renaissance Revival mansion turned 13-room inn where sherry hour in the double parlor and breakfast in the courtyard make chain hotels feel criminal. Both properties understand that in Savannah, the building is the experience.
4
Drinking Your Way Down Congress Street Like a Local
Savannah's open-container law means your cocktail can follow you from bar to bar, and Congress Street is where the city's serious drinking talent has quietly clustered. Start at Artillery for a refined, dimly lit cocktail in a former armory, then cross to Repeal 33 for its speakeasy energy and brown-butter-washed bourbon, and finish at Lone Wolf Lounge if you want the kind of perfectly executed dive-bar martini that makes you reconsider everything. Most visitors never leave the River Street tourist corridor — this is where the city actually drinks.
5
A Morning in Starland District Before the Rest of the City Wakes Up
South of Forsyth Park, the Starland District is Savannah's creative heartbeat — vintage shops, muraled alleyways, and genuinely interesting independent retail that hasn't been sanitized for tourism yet. Get an early cortado at Foxy Loxy Print Gallery & Café, browse the curated homegoods at Starland Strange, and walk the surrounding Victorian streetscapes before the afternoon heat settles in. This is the neighborhood that tells you where Savannah is headed, not just where it's been.
6
A Boat Ride to Dinner on Daufuskie Island
Most Savannah visitors never leave the city grid, but chartering a boat across Calibogue Sound to Daufuskie Island — accessible only by water — drops you into one of the last intact Gullah Geechee communities in the Lowcountry. Arrange a private history tour with a local guide, see the tiny one-room schoolhouse where Pat Conroy taught, and eat oysters roasted over an open fire on the island's western shore. It requires some planning, but it transforms a city weekend into something you'll talk about for years — a living, breathing piece of American history that most luxury travelers have never heard of.
When to Go Show ↓
Peak Season
March through May
Spring is when Savannah is at its most intoxicating — azaleas explode across every square, temperatures hover in the mid-70s, and the city buzzes with energy from the Savannah Music Festival (late March through April) and St. Patrick's Day, which is the second-largest celebration in the country and turns the entire city emerald green. Hotel rates peak and restaurant reservations require advance planning, but honestly, the city earns every bit of its spring reputation. Book at least six weeks out for top tables like The Grey or Elizabeth on 37th.
🌴
Shoulder Season
October through early December
This is the window the regulars protect — the punishing humidity finally breaks, the tourist tide recedes after summer, and the Historic District takes on a moody, golden-light quality that feels cinematic. The Savannah Film Festival in late October brings a creative energy to the city, restaurant patios become pleasant again, and you can actually get a last-minute reservation at places that are booked solid in spring. If you're timing a first visit, this is it.
