Historic District Savannah hotels, inns and motels offer quality accommodations for the ideal family vacation or the perfect romantic getaway.
1. 17Hundred90 Inn & Restaurant
The 14-room, three-story Guest House which is located across the street on York was built in 1875. Emitting an aura of antebellum air and history, the charming and intimate 17Hundred90 Inn & Restaurant dates back to (you guessed it) 1790, when building’s ground level was erected. Most of the original building was destroyed in the Fire of 1820, but the three residencies which became the inn and restaurant were completed in the 19th century, with the hotel’s first two buildings constructed between 1821 and 1823 and the third in 1888.

2. River Street Inn
Savannah’s visitors stay in an original cotton warehouse. They may also experience some seriously spooky encounters within their 200-year-old guest rooms. The River Street Inn, located on East Bay Street just steps from River Street, features five floors of guest accommodations. It is the city’s only member of Historic Hotels of America.
During the early part of the 19th century, Savannah was the second-largest cotton seaport in the world. Its original two floors housed the cotton that moved through the port. The hotel expanded its original layout of 44 guest rooms to 86 in 1998.

The Marshall House Hotel has been a part of Savannah’s history since 1851. A recent recipient of the 2022 TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award, The Marshall House is ranked among the top hotels on TripAdvisor.
In 1864-65, The Marshall House was occupied by Union troops and was used as a Union hospital. Historic photographs and documents are displayed throughout the hotel. If you get a kick out of Savannah’s supernatural vibe, you’ll have fun with the haunted reputation.

5. Eliza Thompson House

Jones St. Built in 1847 for Eliza and Joseph Thompson and their seven children, this converted private home saw many a party and extravagant celebration in its heyday as the first houses constructed on the now-iconic Jones Street. A second section was added to the original structure around 1870, which consisted of what is currently the front parlor, the Chatham room and the J. Stephens room. Today, the home is a popular Savannah bed and breakfast with just the right amount of spirited spooks and ghostly narratives.
