Olde Harbour Inn provides more than just an ordinary hotel room for your next stay in Savannah. Our spacious one and two-bedroom suites provide all of the comforts of home, with the extra amenities you'd expect from a luxurious vacation. From First Saturday on the River to the famous St. Patrick's Day Celebration, River Street is the place to be in Savannah.

Olde Harbour Inn is the perfect place to stay with your pet.

Historic River Street is considered a must-see attraction for Savannah's visitors. Once the site of a bustling cotton industry, today's River Street consists of nine blocks of renovated warehouses housing more than 90 restaurants, pubs, night spots, shops, galleries, and boutiques. It's a great place to sightsee, eat seafood, buy souvenirs, enjoy a cocktail, and watch the huge ships go by. River Street is also the site of many festivities throughout the year, including the St. Patrick's Day celebration and fireworks on July 4th and New Year's Eve. The stone ramps that connect Bay Street with River Street are made of the English ballast stones which gave schooners added stability for their trips from Europe. The discarded stones were then used in buildings and walkways, and became the foundation of ballast stone islands found today in the river's channels. When a dirt road was carved out along the water front to ease traffic and facilitate commerce, thousands of these cobbles and English fieldstones became the bumpy roads and ramps we now call River Street. Olde Harbour Inn lies directly on a section of this cobblestone street, and boasts a unique wall of ballast stones connecting the lower level of River Street to Emmet Park above. |

Emmet Park is a beautiful, tree-shaded park located on the bluff next to Bay Street, located essentially in the "front yard" of The Olde Harbour Inn. Once known as the "Strand" and later as "Irish Green" because of its proximity to the Irish residents of Savannah's Old Fort neighborhood, this park was renamed in 1902 for the Irish patriot Robert Emmet (1778-1803) to commemorate the centennial of his death. Emmet, who led an unsuccessful Dublin uprising for Irish independence and was executed for treason, was a hero to Savannah's Irish community. A Celtic Cross sits in the grassy strip on the bluff overlooking the Savannah River. Emmet Park remains an important center of ceremonial congregation for Savannahians of Irish descent. From tug boats to cargo containers, the Savannah River is a hub of maritime activity. The Georgia Ports Authority, located on the Savannah River in nearby Garden City, is the fourth-largest container port in the United States and the largest single-terminal operation in North America. From a River Street view point, this means a frequent change of scenery along the River as the enormous carriers pass by. Adding to the atmosphere are triple-decker riverboats, Private yachts, sail boats, private charters and cruises ferrying sightseers across and along the River. If you love boats, you'll love the busy Savannah River. |

No matter where they stay, Savannah's visitors always travel to the cobble-stoned streets of River Street. At Olde Harbour Inn, you'll find this exciting area of Savannah right outside your door. The Inn's unique waterfront location puts you right in the middle of Savannah's fun. It's just steps away from the many unique shops and galleries, fabulous restaurants and seductive nightspots. One of the most famous memorials in the River Street area is The Waving Girl, a 1971 statue by Felix De Weldon, honoring Florence Martus, a Savannahian who greeted every ship entering the port from 1887 to 1931. Born August 7, 1868, Martus lived with her brother in a lighthouse near the entrance of the Savannah harbor. The Waving Girl fell in love with a sailor who promised to return for her, but never did. Florence spent years waving to passing ships hoping her love would return. During her years at the lighthouse, she greeted nearly 50,000 vessels. |
