Hotel

The DeSoto Savannah

The DeSoto reigns as “Savannah’s Favorite Hotel,” a beloved landmark that has played gracious hostess to presidents, local personalities, and visitors since 1890. In its 130-year history, the DeSoto has welcomed four presidents and dozens of personalities, including Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, and Presidents William McKinley, William Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Herbert Hoover. Treasured period details, including original crystal chandeliers and terracotta tiles, mix seamlessly with museum-worthy contemporary art, creating a thoughtful juxtaposition between history and modern-day style. This is where we will have the cocktail hour and reception. As a courtesy, we have requested a room block, which allows our guests to book a room at a discounted price.
