With its graceful squares shaded by oaks draped in Spanish moss, Savannah is one of the most photogenic cities in the United States. We returned to review top hotels, restaurants and cocktail bars; we enjoyed several guided tours; and we had a look at as many of the city’s historic homes as we could in order to determine which were most worth visiting.

In this video taken by our editor, you can see inside the newly recommended Perry Lane Hotel, look at some of Savannah’s grand mansions, and watch part of a private boat tour on the river.
