I'm
looking for a hotel to stay at in Savannah that is in walking distance to
the
Riverfront shopping, dining, nightlife and the Historic
District, any suggestions?
If you are looking to stay in a
really nice Historic Inn, you might want to try the River Street
Inn at 124 East Bay St. It has spectacular views overlooking
the Savannah River to the
North and Savannah's Historic District
to the South.
If you are looking for more a business hotel with
contemporary conveniences and luxuries,
I would recommend the
Hyatt in the heart of downtown. Either one would be a good
choice.
What is something fun (and
relatively inexpensive) a family of four can do in
Savannah
besides sightsee the Historic District?
The Savannah Sand Gnats play
minor league baseball in Savannah at quaint Grayson
stadium.
They often have fun promotions for the kids. Last time I went,
they had free
pitching and batting games for the kids before the
game.
Another thing you might enjoy is taking a boat ride on the
Savannah River. The ferry is
only a
$1.
Where can I go to get a list of
all the bus tours, events and things to do in
Savannah?
The 2 best websites you can go
for this type of info are www.savannahvisit.com which is
the
Savannah Convention and Visitor's Bureau (they put out a great travel
planner book.
The other good website is
www.savannah.com
I'm driving up from Florida to
New York and I'd like to stop and spend a couple of
hours in
Savannah. Anything you suggest I do to get the flavor of the
city?
That's really not much time,
but if I were you I'd just walk around the shops on River St
and enjoy the Savannah River. If you are looking to take another type
of short organized
walking tour, I'd visit www.savannahwalks.com
where you can pick the one that interests
you whether it's the
Ghost Tours, Civil War Tours, Tours of Historic homes or Pubs and
Taverns. Good luck.
