Our son lives in Savannah...we were pleasantly surprised at how close it is to TV!
The Hyatt Regency at W Bay and River St overlooks the Savannah River and is a great downtown place to stay. Upgrade to a river front room and watch the massive container ships glide by.
The Andaz (by Hyatt) on Barnard St (right around the corner from Hyatt Regency) is on Ellis Square (there are many beautiful "squares" or parks throughout the city). Andaz is more of a "boutique" hotel. We've stayed there when we're traveling w our pup as they have some pet-friendly rooms. The restaurant there, 22 Square, is very good.
Paula Deen's Lady and Sons restaurant is so-so. The atmosphere was fun and I'm glad I saw it, but the food was mediocre.
Pacci on E. Bay has really delicious Italian fare.
Vic's on the River is nice for brunch/lunch/dinner.
Check out Leopold's Ice Cream!!
Old Town Trolley Tours is a fun way to tour the city as the driver narrates and shares info and fun facts about the city. It's "hop on, hop off," so you can stop for lunch or to explore, then catch a later trolley and continue on.
Don't miss Forsyth Park-- it's where the beautiful, iconic fountain is located.
The Amtrak station is about 4-5 miles outside downtown. An easy Uber ride to your hotel/B & B.
Have fun
