You don’t have to hop on a plane to enjoy a vacation-worthy escape, especially when you live in Savannah. With cobblestone charm, world-class cuisine, and swoon-worthy scenery all around, our city is the perfect backdrop for a luxurious staycation. Whether you’re craving a bit of pampering, a romantic night out, or a rejuvenating reset, we’ve mapped out an itinerary that blends indulgence and inspiration from morning to night.
Here’s how to make the most of a Savannah staycation—Upper East River style.
Morning: Ease Into the Day
Wake With Riverfront Views
There’s no better way to start the day than with a peaceful sunrise over the Savannah River. Pour yourself a coffee and take in the view from your balcony or terrace at Upper East River. If you’re feeling active, a stroll along the Riverwalk sets a scenic tone for the day.
Brunch at Collins Quarter at Forsyth
Head to Forsyth Park and grab an alfresco table at Collins Quarter. Their signature avocado smash and lavender mocha are the definition of brunch bliss. Afterward, meander through the park’s oak-lined paths or explore the nearby SCAD Museum of Art for a dose of culture.
Afternoon: Treat Yourself
Spa Time at The Heavenly Spa by Westin
Indulge in a massage, facial, or body wrap at one of Savannah’s most luxurious spas. The Heavenly Spa offers sweeping river views and personalized treatments that melt away stress and leave you glowing.
Boutique Shopping in the Historic District
After your spa session, spend the afternoon browsing Savannah’s best boutiques. Visit Paris Market for curated treasures, Satchel for handcrafted leather goods, and The Edition Shop for fashion-forward finds.
Light Lunch at The Grey Market
Enjoy a casual yet delicious lunch at this trendy spot helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Mashama Bailey. A nod to New York-style luncheonettes, it’s the perfect pit stop between stops.
Evening: Dine & Unwind
Golden Hour Cocktails at Peregrin Rooftop
As the sun begins to set, head to Peregrin for panoramic views of the skyline and perfectly crafted cocktails. This rooftop gem offers a refined ambiance and an unbeatable perspective of the city.
Dinner at The Emporium Kitchen & Wine Market
For dinner, savor the elevated Southern cuisine and exquisite wine pairings at The Emporium, located in the Perry Lane Hotel. From oysters to duck confit, every dish is a celebration of flavor and finesse.
End the Night with a Riverfront Stroll
Back at Upper East River, take a moonlit walk along the Savannah River. The glittering lights on the water, paired with the gentle hum of the city at night, make for a magical ending to your staycation.
