The Gastonian, located near Forsyth Park, consists of two adjoining Regency-Italianate-style mansions built in 1868.
The tranquil and historic gardens at The Gastonian are a special treat for guests. The side garden, like many in Savannah, was designed to be seen from the street. Tucked away behind a wrought iron fence, azaleas, boxwoods and colorful seasonal plants are lined formally, by height, along the edges of a central lawn and tiered fountain.
A more private, intimate garden lies just around the corner, featuring a bricked floor, an intimate swing for two and small pool for goldfish and water lilies. A wooden balcony connecting the two mansions overlook both gardens. It’s the perfect place for a morning visit with coffee or tea and a newspaper.
Today, The Gastonian is a four-diamond, award-winning bed and breakfast inn, recognized by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine as one of the finest places to stay in the world. Its intimate 17 guest rooms are uniquely furnished and named after prominent Savannah natives such as Flannery O'Connor, Juliette Gordon Low and Mary Telfair. All guest rooms have working fireplaces. Guests are given personalized breakfast menus, and can choose either a silver tray service or may join other guests for family-style breakfasts. A complimentary selection of tea, hors d'oeuvres and wine, is served each afternoon. Desserts and cordials are served in the evenings. |
