The 403-room Westin Savannah is an upper-middle-range resort located on an island across the river from Savannah’s Historic District. The main draws here are the PGA golf course and the high-end spa, but there are other features that make this a great pick: a large pool, two solid restaurants, spacious rooms with high-end amenities (and most with great views of the city), and dozens of activities available daily for the whole family. It's true that the location is secluded, but there’s a free ferry that takes guests to the lively riverfront area (a quick ride straight across the river from the resort).

The Dresser Palmer House is a charming, historic bed and breakfast in an Italianate townhouse that dates back to 1876. The 16 rooms are each decorated differently but share a similar historic feel, many with four-poster beds, antique-style wood furniture, fireplaces, and patios. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, but the inn lacks amenities -- such as a fitness center and a pool -- that larger hotels in the area have. But the location in the Historic District is hard to beat, and for guests who prefer southern hospitality and the residential-style stay of a quaint B&B, this is one of the best bets in the area.

The mid-range Amethyst Inn at Sarah's Garden delivers old-fashioned Southern hospitality in a quiet Victorian house near Forsyth Park in Savannah’s historic district, with four antique-filled rooms that have private bathrooms and ornamental fireplaces, and four one- and two-bedroom suites that offer full kitchens or kitchenettes. The house has an outdoor pool, 19th-century dining and sitting parlors, and two furnished porches, but it lacks modern extras like flat-screen TVs in rooms. The nearby Gastonian, with both contemporary amenities and antiques, may be another option.

Once a 19th-century private residence, the upper-middle-range Eliza Thompson House is a romantic bed and breakfast full of Southern charm. Located on a red-brick street, the hotel is surrounded by oak and magnolia trees, and walking distance to cafes, parks, museums, and eclectic shops. Each of the 25 rooms is unique and features antiques such as leather wingback chairs and ornate armoires from Europe, plus all have flat-screen TVs with DVD players, hairdryers, and bathrobes. This is a great value compared to other inns in Savannah’s Historic District, especially with its free breakfasts, happy hours, and desserts. Travelers looking for a pool should consider the Mansion on Forsyth Park, Autograph Collection, but breakfast isn't included.

The small, historic East Bay Inn is located smack dab in the middle of Savannah's Historic District, and caters to older clientele who can appreciate its feeling of a bygone era. With its multitude of free features (including evening wine-and-cheese receptions), the hotel puts a lot of emphasis on its old-fashioned charms, though some can be grating (like thin walls and creaky floors). Still, it offers much more character than nearby chain hotels like the Hampton Inn or the Hyatt Regency.

The 15-room Savannah Bed and Breakfast Inn was built in 1853 in the southern end of the historical quarter of Savannah and is listed in the local register of Historic Inns. Each room has individual character, but all are decorated in a formal, traditional style with four-poster beds, oriental carpets, and shelves stocked with books. The inn is renovated and bathrooms are modern, but certain period features, like steep, narrow staircases, remain. Breakfast included in the daily rate is excellent and southern-inflected; afternoon tea and evening cookies are also served. Rooms are available in four carriage houses and assorted nearby cottages.

Located on the outskirts of the Historic District, the Hampton Inn has slightly more charm than a typical mid-range chain -- rooms are decorated in old Southern style with muted floral fabrics and dark wood accents, and the pool area is usually quiet and features palm trees. But like some chains, the 154-room hotel (though close to Historic District sights) is right on a busy street, meaning some guests have trouble sleeping.

The 16-room Presidents' Quarters Inn delivers an old-world Southern experience in a Federal-style property located in a bustling area of Savannah’s historic district. The upper-middle-range inn has a lovely brick-lined courtyard skirted in greenery and filled with patio furniture; plus, there's a dining room where a free breakfast is served daily. The spacious and comfortable rooms feature antique pieces and decorative fireplaces as well as modern touches including flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Though conveniently located within walking distance of many sights, the popular location means that there’s substantial noise from cars, pedestrians, and ghost tours passing by. For something a bit quieter, travelers might want to consider Amethyst Inn at Sarah's Garden instead.

Formerly a private home, the four-pearl Hamilton-Turner Inn embodies the grand style of the deep South. The Inn offers 17 guest rooms on three floors, as well as a three-bedroom carriage house, and each has its own unique decor, including a few with working fireplaces. Located on Savannah's historic Lafayette Square, the Inn is just a four-minute walk from the Savannah College of Art and Design, a 13-minute walk to the Savannah Civic Center, or a 34-minute drive to Tybee Island Beach. A free breakfast is included in rates, and there's an evening wine reception. But as a small historic property, other features are limited: There's no gym and no elevator. Another property to consider could be the nearby Gastonian, which offers free parking, a rarity in the city.
