Velvet, gilt, and a color palette that suggests a Victorian fever dream describe the interiors of this boutique hotel on Savannah's riverfront. The Bohemian leans hard into the city's gothic romanticism, with rooms dramatic enough that checking in feels like a plot point. Downstairs, Rocks on the River does comfort food and Neapolitan pizza; the rooftop bar trades on river views and craft cocktails. Selected by the Michelin Guide.

Mid-century modern furniture and locally sourced art share space in a hotel that brought a New York boutique sensibility to Savannah's Eastern Wharf neighborhood, and somehow neither side blinked. The Thompson is a sizeable luxury hotel, nearly 200 rooms, but it carries itself with the restraint of something smaller. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels, which tracks for a place that reads like it knows exactly what it's doing.

A modern hotel on the Savannah River where some rooms have balconies hanging right over the water, which is a strong argument for requesting one. The aesthetic is clean and spare, carpets nowhere to be found, and a rooftop restaurant handles breakfast and dinner with views across the river and skyline. Rooms facing Bay Street catch truck noise at odd hours, so it's worth asking for the quieter side when you book.

Every evening at sunset, someone opens a bottle of Champagne with a saber. That sets the tone for this bed and breakfast in two joined 19th-century Italianate houses on one of Savannah's quieter streets. The 16 rooms mix antique bones with modern comfort, and breakfast skews Indian, which is a welcome departure from the usual biscuit routine. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

A tidy Marriott flag in the Historic District, close enough to the squares and River Street that you can walk everywhere without plotting a route. Rooms run king or double-queen, some with balconies, and suites add a sleeper sofa for anyone who brought extra people. Complimentary hot breakfast is included, and coffee sits out in the lobby all day, which turns out to matter more than it sounds on a Savannah afternoon.

A pineapple motif runs through almost everything here, the light fixtures, the wrought-iron railings, the marble lobby floor, which is either too on-the-nose or exactly right for a hotel on Broughton Street. This restored, old-school Savannah inn has 68 rooms ranging from snug doubles to two-room suites, some with balconies over downtown. Evenings bring a complimentary wine-and-cheese hour, which fills fast with guests who've done the squares and need to sit down.

A mid-range Marriott hotel on Abercorn where the parking garage connects directly to guest floors, which is a small mercy in Savannah's heat. Room layouts run from king to double-queen to open studio suites with sleeper sofas and a second TV. Walk-in showers in king rooms, tub-shower combos in double-queens. Dining, a grocery store, and some shopping are all on foot. A solid, no-drama base for exploring a city that gives you plenty of reasons to be out of your room.

A Hampton Inn that's been freshened up recently, sitting close to Hunter Army Airfield and about four miles from Savannah's historic squares. The hotel runs six stories with standard king and double-queen rooms, plus open studio suites with pull-out sofas for when the group gets bigger. Most rooms have walk-in showers, breakfast includes waffles and eggs, and parking is available in a connected garage, though not free.

Hydration stations on each floor dispense still, sparkling, or ambient water, which tells you something about the tone of this AAA Four Diamond hotel in Savannah's historic district. The 173 rooms run bright and airy, with big windows that catch the light, and upper floors can pull in river views. The rooftop bar with live music on weekends draws a crowd that has no intention of going to bed early.

A converted power plant on the Savannah waterfront that now houses 419 hotel rooms, several bars and restaurants, and enough natural history exhibits to make the lobby feel like a museum that got distracted. Rooms are contemporary and comfortable, the river is right outside, and the property has organized enough activities, tours, and a scavenger hunt to keep a family busy without anyone agreeing on a plan. AAA Four Diamonds.

Extended-stay hotel near Savannah's airport with full kitchenettes in every room, meaning a real cooktop, full-size fridge, dishwasher, and actual dishes. The four room layouts include pull-out sofas for when the family situation gets complicated. Complimentary breakfast rotates through eggs, grits, waffles, and bacon, which softens the blow of any early flight. A major outlet mall is close enough to do real damage between check-in and checkout.

The outdoor fire pit is a small but genuine surprise for a highway hotel off I-95, giving Richmond Hill road-trippers somewhere to decompress that isn't a parking lot. This Marriott property runs four stories and 85 rooms, with pillow-top beds, streaming-ready TVs, EV charging, and a complimentary hot-and-cold breakfast each morning. A fitness center rounds things out for those pretending the trip counts as a workout.

A converted 1961 savings and loan building, with its original terrazzo floors and curved mid-century bones still intact, now operates as a boutique hotel on one of Savannah's busiest corners. Eleven room configurations come fitted with hand-cut tile and custom millwork; suites add soaking tubs and private terraces. The Sun Club rooftop pool, the all-day Municipal Bar, and The Hot Eye, a speakeasy from the Death & Co founders, mean you rarely need to leave.

A mid-range hotel about five miles from Savannah's historic squares, the Courtyard keeps things low-key: many rooms open onto balconies or patios facing the pool courtyard, and there's a fire pit outside for evenings when you'd rather not drive anywhere. King rooms come with pull-out sofas, which explains the families. An onsite bistro handles breakfast and dinner, so you're not stranded if you don't feel like going out.

A pool table and round-the-clock coffee in the lobby signal the priorities here: this is a no-frills Hilton budget hotel about 15 minutes from downtown Savannah, built for people who plan to spend their days elsewhere. Rooms are compact but tidy, with big TVs and walk-in showers. Complimentary breakfast covers the classics, and the lobby doubles as a decent remote-work setup if you need to put in an hour before exploring.
