When you spend your days immersed in Savannah, walking its streets, studying its history, hosting guests who expect more than the obvious, you begin to notice a pattern in the questions people ask.
Where do you eat when you’re not entertaining?
Which house museums feel worth lingering in?
Where do you go for coffee, for books, for an afternoon well spent?
Our answers are places chosen for atmosphere as much as excellence, for aesthetic, history, luxury, and feeling.
Savannah doesn’t reveal itself all at once. Even within the Historic District, it’s a city of layers: art and architecture, ritual and routine, moments that reward attention rather than haste. The magic here isn’t manufactured. It’s inherited, preserved, and savored.
This guide is a reflection of how we experience Savannah ourselves. The cafés we return to. The galleries we revisit. The streets, shops, and spaces that continue to feel right no matter how many times we pass through them.
What follows is a considered collection of the city’s most beautiful and enduring experiences.
What should you do while you’re here?
We thought you might ask.
