Put Our Service to the Test
Accommodations in Savannah are an elevated experience for groups, given that hospitality isn’t just a word; it’s a promise. Some of the city’s most sought-after hotels include Perry Lane, The Alida, JW Marriott Plant Riverside District, classic Hilton and Marriott brands and many others that have the capacity to house groups of all sizes regardless of luxurious or modest taste. After one stay in this city, it begins to feel like home.
Dinner For All
Seeing as how Savannah is built on a bluff above the Savannah River along the Atlantic Ocean, the area is a seafood paradise, not to mention possesses the fundamental ingredients to Southern soul food. Not being one to let a good thing go to waste, many of the city’s restaurants were once residential mansions, Victorian homes, a Greyhound Bus Terminal, banks or inconspicuously located underground. Vic’s On the River, Mrs. Wilkes, the Pirates House, The Vault, Garibaldi’s and Elizabeth on 37th are among the few historic eateries with room for an extra seat at the table.
Savannah is a seafood lover’s paradise.
Exciting Excursions
Once you’ve rested and have been adequately fed, an adventurous excursion awaits. Get up close and personal with the Savannah River on a riverboat cruise. After more than 200 years, the show continues at the Savannah Theatre. Hop on the trolley around the city to get a crash course in Savannah’s history from the residents who know it best. Hit the ground “walking” on foot as you’re led through wondrous green squares, lanes and cobblestone steps on a historic or haunted tour of the city. Forewarned, they answer back when encountering the shadows of the past. Become the star student of the group as you perfect your culinary skills in a cooking class with Chef Darin or the 700 Kitchen Cooking School. Retail therapy is in session when you shop locally for souvenirs, such as creating natural skin care products at Salacia Salts or Nourish.
