General

One of the advantages of staying at Recess is that you’re already in the center of Savannah’s Historic District. Step outside and you’ll find yourself within walking distance of the city’s iconic squares, River Street, Broughton Street shopping, Forsyth Park, museums, galleries, restaurants, and some of Savannah’s most celebrated architecture. Whether you’re interested in history, food, art, nightlife, or simply wandering beneath the oak trees, there’s no shortage of ways to spend the day. Of course, some of Savannah’s best discoveries aren’t found on a map at all. Take a turn down a side street, linger a little longer in a square, or follow a recommendation from a local—you never know where you’ll end up.
