Fodor's Expert Review Catherine Ward House Inn
118 E. Waldburg St., Savannah, Georgia, 31401, USA
Elegance meets comfort at this bed-and-breakfast, applauded for warm and inviting touches like soft music, cozy lighting, and crackling fires in period fireplaces. Built by a former sea captain for his new wife in 1886, this Italianate home sits within a block of Forsyth Park and the current innkeeper's style shines through with the well-chosen gilt mirrors, antique pieces, fresh flowers, and the communal dining table, set beautifully for a breakfast that wins rave reviews. Most rooms have balconies and private access to the garden oasis with its koi pond and soothing fountain.
