  • Introduction

    Get Closer to the Best Savannah Experience!

    Voted "Best Savannah Inn" (2009 - 2012) and Best Savannah Romantic Inn / B&B" (2008, Savannah Magazine), The Presidents' Quarters Inn is luxurious but not fussy.  Offering 21st Century amenities and timeless southern hospitality, our Best of Savannah bed and breakfast inn is located on Oglethorpe Square in the heart of the Savannah historic district.  A perfect escape, our mini-boutique hotel / Savannah historic inn is featured in Delta Sky's Portrait Savannah, Southern Living's Romance in Savannah and Fodor's Savannah and Charleston's Best B&Bs & Inns.


    Nestled in the heart of the downtown historic district on Oglethorpe Square, this Savannah inn’s exclusive location is only steps away from the many sights and attractions that the "Hostess City" has to offer - City Market and River Street, the theatre district, world class restaurants, galleries and boutique shops, and the beautifully landscaped parks and squares that make Savannah famous.

    Originally constructed in 1855, these twin, Federal-style mansions were extensively renovated in 2007. This elegant, historic inn now features 16 overly spacious, richly appointed suites with fireplaces and private balconies.


    Each suite, named after United States Presidents who have visited Savannah, is newly decorated with both antique and period reproduction furnishings. King and Queen beds, some four-poster, are dressed in complimentary designer linens.

    Private bath amenities include luxurious waffle bathrobes and exclusive bath toiletries. Executive suite balconies overlook the charming outdoor courtyard and Oglethorpe Square. Cozy sitting areas, perfect for reading or enjoying breakfast, can be found near the elevator on each landing.


    A signature Chef’s choice gourmet breakfast is prepared to order each morning, best enjoyed in the historic inn’s front parlor or in the courtyard gazebo. Afternoon hors d’oeuvres and wine, evening cordials and nightly turndown service are only a few of the exceptional characteristics that make The Presidents’ Quarters Inn an exclusive lodging experience worthy of Savannah’s discriminating guests.


    Whether your visit to Savannah is for business travel, a relaxing vacation or a romantic getaway, our attentive and knowledgeable Guest Services staff is on hand to custom-design exclusive packages that will make your stay unique and memorable. Romantic dinners, spa services, cooking classes, architectural tours - whatever your interests - may all be arranged at our front desk.

    Four consecutive years, Savannah magazine readers voted The Presidents’ Quarters Inn for BEST SAVANNAH INN / B&B (2009 - 2011), plus Savannah’s Best Romantic Inn (2008). Indeed, the romantic courtyard gazebo is ideal for an intimate wedding or reception.
