Savannah Secrets: One Perfect Afternoon of Moss, Mocktails & Mischief
Spanish moss strolls, rooftop cocktails, quirky shops, and pralines you’ll swear were “just for later".
🌿One Perfect Afternoon in Savannah
Savannah is basically that girl who doesn’t even try but still steals the whole show. Spanish moss for days, cobblestone streets that beg for a photoshoot, pastel houses that scream “Instagram me”… yeah, she’s the vibe.
Here’s how I’d spend the perfect girlfriend-approved afternoon in the city:
🛏 Where We’re Crashing
Because let’s be honest, even if it’s “just an afternoon,” you know we’re turning this into an overnight. Pick your mood:
The Marshall House – Classic Savannah charm, fireplaces, and the kind of creaky wood floors that feel romantic, not haunted.
Perry Lane Hotel – Bougie rooftop pool and boutique luxury. If you’re feeling main character energy, this is the spot.
The Thunderbird Inn – Fun, funky, dog friendly and they hand you MoonPies. That’s the energy I want on vacation.
🌳 Stroll & Spill Tea
First stop: Forsyth Park. Yes, the fountain you’ve seen on Pinterest a thousand times. We’re taking the photo — no arguments. From there, wander through Savannah’s little garden squares. Each one feels like a movie set, and they’re perfect for sitting on a bench, people-watching, and whispering about that guy who definitely looks like he’s in witness protection.
☕ Coffee Break (But Make It Cute)
Head to The Collins Quarter and order the lavender latte because, let’s be real, you didn’t come all this way to drink a plain iced coffee. Grab something shareable — their fried chicken sandwich is iconic. One bite and suddenly you’re “just moving here, I think.”
🛍 Shopping That’s Basically Therapy
The Paris Market – This store is like if Paris and Anthropologie had a baby. You’ll buy a candle, a notebook, and probably something random like vintage teaspoons.
River Street Sweets – Free praline samples. Yes, they will ruin you. No, you will not regret it.
🍹 Rooftop Golden Hour
By late afternoon, it’s rooftop time. Options:
Peregrin Rooftop – Chic cocktails, skyline views, and everyone pretending their Aperol spritz matches their outfit.
Rocks on the Roof – More river vibes, boats gliding by, and the perfect backdrop for your “candid but not candid” pics.
👻 If You’re Feeling Spicy
Book a ghost tour here because Savannah is basically the queen of haunted history. Picture this: you + your besties, tipsy from rooftop cocktails, clutching each other’s arms in candlelit squares while someone whispers about 1800s ghosts. Core memory unlocked.
And babe, that’s only one afternoon. Imagine three whole days of hand-picked hotels, eats, adventures, all planned for you so all you have to do is show up and look cute. That’s Pack & Go Club life.
