9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,584 reviews)

The property has 3 main buildings with their own themes and hotel rooms. Over a dozen restaurants throughout that offer a ton of variety. The art and design features are phenomenal. This is a destination within itself. Add the ease of getting to the surrounding historic area and you have the PERFECT place for your next trip to Savannah. We had a small housekeeping issue upon arrival that was quickly corrected. The manager gave us a room credit to use at the restaurants and bars for the inconvenience. Don't miss taking a trip down the slide at the rooftop bar!

The Green Palm Inn was such a nice place to stay. The house and decor represented the history of Savannah. It was very conveniently located so that we walked everywhere we toured. Nicole made us amazing breakfasts and delicious cookies. Would highly recommend the Green Palm Inn!
