Luxury Savannah Hotels

Savannah in the state of Georgia is the largest city of Chatham County and also its county seat. It is an Atlantic seaport of note as well as an important industrial center. Millions of visitors flock to the city annually in search of its historic buildings and architecture. It was the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America and is home to the "central of Georgia railway roundhouse complex", the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in the nation. Selected luxury Savannah hotels are situated in downtown Savannah's Historic District and in close proximity to the city's many attractions.

Agriculture, namely silk, indigo and cotton, were important in the earlier economy of the city. Since then, the city's port has become very active and the port forms the backbone of the economy today. Paper mills and specifically, International Paper, are large employers in the city. Gulf Stream Aerospace, which manufactures private jets and JCB, a producer of construction equipment, are two large companies that have also found a home in the city. The I-95 and the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport bring tourists into the city. Selected luxury Savannah hotels offer shuttle services to and from the airport. The Savannah International Trade&Convention Center is situated on Hutchinson Island and is surrounded by the Savannah River. The Belles Ferry is the means of transport.

The riverfront and the access to the coastal islands offer many water-related activities. Visit the Tybee Island Light Station on the island of the same name and the 22 park-like squares in the city's historic district. A number of historic houses of worship are found in the city, such as the Temple Mickve Israel, The First Bryan Baptist Church and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Historic houses include the Green-Meldrim House, the William Scarbrough House and the Sorrel Weed House. The city is also home to a couple of historic cemeteries, notably the Colonial Park Cemetery and the Bonaventure Cemetery. The city has a very rich history and guests of the luxury Savannah hotels should take the trouble to also visit the historic forts, Fort Jackson and the Fort Pulaski National Monument.

Should guests not want to take advantage of the shops located inside hotels, they can also shop at the Savannah Mall, the Abercorn Common and the Oglethorpe Mall. Take the young ones to the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Garden. Select hotels offer guests the opportunity to use a free water ferry to get to downtown Savannah.

Every year, Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated with a parade through Savannah's Historic Park District.
