The Mulberry Inn

Savannah is a wonderful city. We arrived in the city on Sunday. First a little history is appropriate. General James Edward Oglethorpe and the 120 travelers of the good ship "Anne" landed on a bluff high along the Savannah River in February 1733, Oglethorpe named the Thirteenth and final American colony Georgia, after England's King George II and Savannah became its first city. Oglethorpe laid the city out in a series of grids that allowed for wide open streets intertwined with shady public squares and parks. Today, the Historic District is a 2.5 mile walking district full of bistros, quaint shops, green squares and grand architecture.

We stayed in the lovely Mulberry Inn on Bay Street just up the bank from River Street. The Mulberry Inn takes you back to the elegance and graciousness of another era. Throughout the hotel, you are sure to find that the period furnishings, oil paintings, polished hardwood floors, and elegant chandeliers offer an endless escape into Savannah's rich history. The Mulberry represents a style of service and hospitality that is traditional to the Old South.

There is history behind this hotel as it used to be an old Coca-Cola bottling plant and a warehouse before that .
