Why it made the list: Right on the cobblestoned riverfront, with a rustic-luxe look, a lobby of leather and iron and the Rocks on the Roof bar overlooking the river traffic. It's the pick for a stay in the thick of the River Street action.

Why it made the list: A grand 1892 Renaissance Revival mansion on Columbia Square turned intimate bed-and-breakfast, all antiques, verandas and Southern-hospitality touches like afternoon tea and evening wine. It's classic, romantic old Savannah.

Why it made the list: A flamboyant 1888 Victorian mansion overlooking Forsyth Park, filled with a huge, eclectic art collection and topped with an inner courtyard and pool. It's the bold, art-forward luxury stay, right by the city's greenest space.
⭐ Bonus Pick: The Alida & the Hamilton-Turner Inn
Two more strong stays: The Alida in the vibrant riverfront-adjacent Plant Riverside district is a modern, design-forward hotel with a rooftop bar, and the Hamilton-Turner Inn on Lafayette Square is a grand Second Empire mansion of 'Midnight' fame, run as a gracious B&B.
