Things To Do
Forsyth Park
A must-see in Savannah, Forsyth Park is famous for its iconic fountain, grand oak trees draped in Spanish moss, and peaceful walking paths. Note that the fountain was removed for maintenance recently, and may not be placed back in the park by October.
Trolley Tour
Take the Old Town Trolley Tour for a convenient way to see Savannah’s key landmarks and neighborhoods. It's a good way to get a feel for the city and figure out where you'd like to spend more time.
Wormsloe State Historic Site
One of the most beautiful places in Savannah. Hundreds of old oak trees covered in Spanish moss. You can walk it or take a trolley drive down the expansive tree canopy. When exiting Wormsloe, be sure to take a right onto Skidaway Road and drive down Bluff Drive on Isle of Hope. These are some of the most gorgeous historic homes in Savannah and a great view of the intercostal waterway.
The Gallery Espresso
The first local coffee shop in Savannah, known for strong, quality espresso and a relaxed atmosphere, just a short walk from the DeSoto Hotel.
Java Burrito Company
Java Burrito is probably the only spot in Savannah where you can grab a solid burrito and a great cup of coffee in the same place. It’s an easy go-to for a casual lunch or quick bite. Pro Tip: they sell pastries from Auspicious Baking Co., our favorite local bakery (try the ham and cheese croissant!)
Vic's On the River
Vic’s is located just above River Street, with views overlooking the Savannah River. It’s known for its classic Southern dishes and fresh seafood and is a great choice for brunch, lunch or dinner.
The Olde Pink House
This historic mansion was built in 1771 and specializes in classic southern cuisine. A must-see for all tourists to experience at least once! Reservations are required. Go to the cellar and you'll find Planter's Tavern - a dark, hidden bar that serves food and often has live music. Hands down the best fried chicken out there!
Peregrin - Perry Lane Rooftop
Grab a cocktail at Peregrin, the rooftop bar at Perry Lane Hotel, and enjoy stunning views of the Savannah skyline and Talmadge Bridge.
Artillery Bar
Our favorite cocktail bar in Savannah! Conveniently located across the street from the DeSoto.
Leopold's Ice Cream
Founded in 1919, this place is iconic in Savannah. You can’t leave without stopping at this old fashioned soda fountain shop. It’s named one of the top 10 ice cream parlors in the world!
