Boutique hotels in Savannah

Independent boutique hotels in Savannah, Georgia. We publish what qualifies as boutique and the reason behind each pick.

Independent only
32 qualifying stays in Savannah

Boutique in Savannah means the same thing it means everywhere else on this site: independently operated, four stars or fewer, running as a hotel, inn or B&B, with a guest score of 8.7 or higher. No chain soft brands, however boutique the marketing.

Savannah's Historic District is laid out around 22 surviving squares, which means almost every block has a shaded green space on it. Staying inside the district puts Forsyth Park, River Street and the Cathedral Basilica within walking distance. Many of the properties here occupy restored 19th-century townhouses rather than purpose-built hotel blocks.

Common questions

How many hotels in Savannah made this shortlist?

12 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is McMillan Inn at 9.4, with a 9.4 guest rating from 387 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $250 to $376 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
