Fodor's Expert Review Riverview Hotel
105 Osborne St., St. Marys, Georgia, 31558, USA
The front door to the Riverview could be a time machine transporting you straight to the Old West, circa 1916, the year the hotel was built. The lobby resembles a museum, with old cameras in a glass case and high-backed typewriters on display, and a Tiffany lamp—the real thing—illuminates the reception desk. Some rooms have river views, and all have ornate iron beds and/or antique furniture from the original owner's family. The popular Seagle's Café & Saloon serves steaks and seafood, including delicious rock shrimp. Picnic lunches can be packed for your Cumberland Island excursion.
