Perry Lane Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel

Surrounded by antebellum architecture and oak trees draped in Spanish moss, this boutique hotel is as popular with locals as it is with travellers. A large part of that is down to its surprising array of rooftop amenities, including the upbeat Peregrin wine bar, a grass-covered area with bean bags and boules sets, and a heated outdoor pool, all with 360-degree views of Savannah. Rooms and suites feature oversized windows, Frette Italian bed linens, notable artworks and rain showers in the bathrooms. The ground floor restaurant has an open kitchen serving modern French bistro food with Southern nods where appropriate, while The Wayward stirs hand-crafted cocktails and tugs on retro heartstrings with 1980s arcade games. A well-equipped fitness centre and rooftop yoga studio round out facilities.
