Lovingly called “the Hostess City of the South” for
its warm hospitality, Savannah’s hotel scene has
stepped up its contemporary style while staying
true to its roots. In the heart of the Historic District,
The Drayton Hotel has reinvented one of the
city’s oldest buildings to become a luxury haven
showcasing Victorian architecture. Take in great
views of City Hall and relax over delicious meals at
St. Neo’s Brasserie, the hotel’s seafood restaurant.COASTAL CUISINE
Savannah is still warm and sunny in the fall,
making it a great time to explore the sandy
stretches of Tybee Island about 20 minutes
from downtown. Fall is also oyster season, a
cherished culinary occasion that showcases
the oyster as an essential part of Low Country
cuisine. During this time, local establishments
serve the beloved shellfish steamed, roasted,
grilled, fried, or raw. For a true Savannah
experience, check out an oyster roast—a
popular Southern tradition for generations.NATURAL BEAUTY
Many perfect Savannah days start with a walk
through the expansive, 30-acre Forsyth Park
and a visit to its ornate fountain. Along with
leafy green spaces and the gorgeous Savannah
Botanical Gardens, some of the city’s prettiest
spots are its historic cemeteries. Beyond the
well-known Bonaventure Cemetery, famous
for its flowery paths and statues, the Laurel
Grove South Cemetery is an important
resting place for African-Americans dating
back to the 19th century.SAVA N NA H
