In downtown Savannah, Presidents' Quarters Inn courtyard and balcony flowers
“Take a winter vacation in Savannah GA,” reminds Presidents’ Quarters Inn. Today it’s 58F degrees in Savannah, GA. It’s 23F degrees in New York City, NY.
Oh, but it’s not just the Winter weather that is warmer in sub-tropical Savannah, GA. There are far more splendors that connect Savannah to warmth — an admirable attribute of the American South. The folks in Savannah, Georgia do warm so well!
The warmest greetings await you at Presidents’ Quarters Inn, voted Best Savannah Inn (2008-2011). The inn overlooks Oglethorpe Square, downtown.

Sun-warmed places are found in Forsyth Park, world-famous Savannah squares, the Bull Street corridor (named one of the Great Places in America), and the courtyard at Presidents’ Quarters Inn. Don’t forget the brilliantly designed courtyard at the newly expanded Savannah College of Art and Design’s SCAD Museum of Art, and the picturesque riverfront along Rousakis Plaza, a river walk named to honor former City of Savannah Mayor John P. Rousakis
Warmer relations. Savannahians are known for friendliness. Savannah was voted #4 for “Friendly”, in Travel+Leisure’s “America’s Favorite Cities 2011” poll, and “Most Mannerly City 2009“. It was the year that Charleston stepped aside for its sister southern town to the south.
Warm glow of downtown Savannah street lamps with a backdrop Savannah's centuries old forest
Warmer glow. Street lights in the Landmark Historic District give off a soft glow, much like the gas lamps of years gone by. Look at this fascinating night picture of Forsyth Park Fountain taken by professional photographer Tim Nealon.
Warmer notes. Music takes place in historic venues, warmed not only by renovation but by rich legacies that honor culture pioneers who came before.
Warmer nature. The birds, squirrels, flowers and trees do their part to warm the welcome. Savannah’s forest is green year around. In 2012 Presidents’ Quarters Inn is hopeful that citizens and business will showcase daisies inside and out-of-doors (Daisies for Daisy) to honor Girls Scouts Founder, Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low. Mrs. Low founded Girl Scouts in Savannah. We are hopeful for a warm nod to Girl Scout visitors.

Warm faces. The new Girl Scout cookie is named “Savannah Smiles” — a lemony delight to celebrate 100 years of Girl Scouting — and to give tribute to founder Juliette Gordon Low’s hometown, Savannah, GA. Haven’t you noticed the pleasant southern smile, the tip of the head, and the barely noticed wave? Where else will you see those warm faces of welcome, except in the Deep South, especially in Savannah.
Time-warmed tales. Abundant southern stories warm the heart. Bestselling author Pat Conroy will headline the fifth annual Savannah Book Festival by giving the Keynote Address on February 17, 2012, at Trinity United Methodist Church.
Warmer touches. Southern hospitality is at the core of delightful, unexpected warm touches you’ll discover in Savannah. Leopold’s Ice Cream serves some of the world’s Top Ten ice cream, but you’ll find cheerful help, homemade soups and freshly made sandwiches. You’ll love the service in restaurants like Wiley’s Championship BBQ. Alligator Soul has the literal warmth of a fireplace, where dessert and cocktails make Savannah nightlife the warmest yet! The Planter’s Inn pub inside the Olde Pink House offers the warm ambiance of Savannah’s old gentry’s pub.
Warmer responses. Haven’t you heard the southern phrase, “Well, bless her heart!’ Even when the spoken word is crisp — as in, “She’s as ugly as a mud-fence, bless her heart” — or the response to an obnoxious drunk, “Well, bless your heart” seems to soften the blow of unpleasantness.
Warm hearts … and gentle people, or is it “dear hearts and gentle people“? Presidents’ Quarters Inn offers a “Sunday in Savannah” 50% off special (most months of the year with a 3-day continuous stay). It’s a special deal that we hope will entice travelers to stay longer and get to know Savannah better.
