What's it like?
From the envied park side vantage point of Lafayette Square, Hamilton-
Turner Inn guests linger in the antebellum high society neighborhood
of the Landmark Savannah Historic District. Here the blended
atmosphere of history, culture, leisure, nature and faith come
together around one square. Loyal to the noble city's legacies and old
Savannah charm, the Hamilton-Turner Inn bed and breakfast mansion
typifies the stylishly rich life of Savannah's old town family
aristocracies. Quintessential Savannah photographs attract renewed
attention to the stately Mid Victorian mansion, as much today as
through its one hundred and thirty-two year history.
Intuitively guests of Hamilton-Turner Inn ease into the soul of
the "dreamy city of Savannah" that National Geographic describes as
a "laid-back town of lush greens and wide boulevards." The family
gentleman's manor - noted for its world famous Mid Victorian and
Second French Empire (circa 1873) architecture -- hosts the at ease
transformation for busy executives and multi-generational travelers.
The world famous post-Civil War mansion (circa 1873) built by
businessman extraordinaire and former naval officer, Samuel Pugh
Hamilton, maintains its early movers and shakers reputation as a high
society mansion. Historically, the talk of the town(sm) from its
antebellum days as a Savannah 400 host, the former party mansion of
John Berendt's colossal best selling novel "Midnight in the Garden of
Good and Evil" is known today as the quintessential 19th century Mid
Victorian gentleman's manor, frequently photographed by Savannah
travelers and photographers. Reflecting meticulous renovations and
affluent estate furnishings, the family-friendly, affordable luxury
bed and breakfast inn is a tourist main attraction for its world
famous architectural prominence as well as for its status as the first
building to install electricity in historic Savannah Georgia.
With a coveted park side setting in the quiet dignity of Lafayette
Square, Hamilton-Turner Inn is the refined answer to where to stay in
Savannah. The park mansion's Second French Empire architectural
craftsmanship permeates 17 guestroom accommodations, formal parlors
and carriage house. Peaceful butterfly gardens, culinary trained
chefs, and fashionable dining - including a signature "dessert that
begins breakfast," southern cuisine, evening hors d'oeuvres (featuring
fresh, local and seasonal fare)and wine - are included in a larger-
than-life-style of leisure. The invitation to "Arrive for quiet
comfort and inviting pleasures" is extended to the discerning
executive traveler, destination wedding party, honeymoon couple,
journalist, dignitary; and, most uniquely, to upscale, multi-
generational families with young children ... and the well-behaved
family pet. Unique amenities include a children's entertainment
library and kid-friendly cuisine. Guests requiring wheelchair
accommodations find comfortable ADA compliant lodging. Wireless
Internet facilitates corporate and business travelers.
