10 Best, Genuine Boutique Hotels in Georgia in 2026

Nestled inside the North Historic District, you’ll find one of Savannah’s most elegant, tasteful, and welcoming boutique hotels. Built at the turn of the century by an Irish immigrant wanting to house his 10 children in style, it’s a gorgeous red brick number that both stands out and fit perfectly within the lovely soup of architecture that makes up Savannah. It’s not an antique-cluttered, gimmick of a historical inn, Kehoe House. It feels less decorated and more like the rich wood, ornate carpets, and wrought iron simply grew out of… > Read Our Full Review

A contemporary boutique hotel in the North Historic District of Savannah is a delicate game, one that this chic boutique has clearly won. By maintaining the stately stone exteriors at the root of the city’s charm, the Drayton Hotel frees the interiors for a contemporary style that feels fresh and imaginative. Once inside, you’ll want to hang out with the brightly colored armchairs and plush ottomans of the lobby. They’re meticulously placed near stunning greenery in a foyer that feels like your eccentric English aunt’s sunroom.   What are the… > Read Our Full Review

There is no shortage of historic houses to enjoy in Savannah, but an extra dose of boutique hotel luxury pushes Bellwether House above the competition. The place consists of two adjoining townhouses built in 1876 by Savannah businessmen, residential until the early 2000s. In 2020 these slightly rundown properties were purchased, renovated and transformed. Now, the airy white building, with its intricately arched porch and gorgeous wrought iron, is more than welcoming. The hotel is 21+, which, in a city known for being boisterous, can weed out some of the… > Read Our Full Review

Hotel Clermont, in the heart of the trendy Poncey-Highland neighborhood is something a small celebration of the city’s eclectic history. This is an Atlanta hotel with plenty of stories to tell, we’re sure. First built as an apartment block in 1924, it opened as a hotel – the Clermont Motor Hotel – in 1939. It fell into disrepair over the years, and indeed was about to be demolished in 2009, before being bought, restored and reopened as a hotel in 2018. Lovingly resorted is certainly an overused phrase but here it… > Read Our Full Review

The Burgess Hotel is Atlanta’s upscale Buckhead neighborhood’s only independent boutique hotel. It has a pleasantly refined atmosphere and, by all accounts, one of the city’s very best restaurants. We think it also has a bold, modern, international feel, with more than a touch of Asia – from its Hong Kong origin owners – the large dragon sculpture in the lobby for example, along with many oriental prints on the walls.   What are the rooms like? Simple choice: 102 rooms with one king bed or two queen beds. Style:… > Read Our Full Review

If each of Savannah’s Historic Inns has a distinguishing factor, This adults only Midtown mansion, has luxury on lock. Comprising two adjacent buildings from the late 1860s, The Gastonian has undergone many transformations but kept the vintage grandeur. The two grand old white-stucco brick buildings sit comfortably on a corner, and while inside all things are plush and old-style elegance, it’s the service that makes the Gastonian. Think of something luxurious. This hotel will do it. Wine can be waiting in your room on arrival, rose petals, chocolate-covered strawberries, the… > Read Our Full Review

A comfortable, stylish boutique hotel in a historic building is one of the quickest ways to our hearts, and this Downtown Atlanta gem, minutes from Centennial Olympic Park, checks all the boxes. Originally an office building on one of Atlanta’s longest-lived streets, the Neoclassical Revival building was constructed in 1923 as part of the extension of the business district. It’s a gorgeous and well-preserved example of the architecture of the time. Part of Marriot’s Autograph Collection, the exterior of the Glenn Hotel honors local history, but the interiors are modern… > Read Our Full Review

Atlanta has plenty of large luxury hotels, some in stunning historic buildings, but few have the cozy intimacy and charm of this Midtown boutique hotel. If you’re trying to avoid the sometimes impersonal pomp of a big hotel without sacrificing on luxury, Stonehurst Place is a a good opportunity to enjoy genuine southern hospitality. We’d book in advance, as their seven rooms are in high demand and can fill up quickly. One thing we really love is the commitment to creating a culturally and ecologically conscious place to stay.

Savannah is, of course, the dream for those who like historic buildings with a little bit of ghost to them, but head to Forsyth Park and we get to see something just a little different. From the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed new hospitality brand Bardo, this boutique hotel is part accommodation, part private club, part resort. It’s a nice addition to the local hotel scene, feeling very Savannah in its private club, contemporary luxury niche. In a city known for private parties dripping in exclusivity, this for us feels like an updated… > Read Our Full Review

The old Darwin hotel was acquired by IHG in late 2024 which marked their voco Atlanta boutique hotel debut. We liked the Darwin a lot before and thankfully the style and character of the place seems not to have been changed. The exterior is still somewhat surprisingly drab, despite the bird motifs, but once inside you’ll notice immediately the same 3D artworks and murals circling the still decidedly cheerful bar & lounge. There’s a boldly colorful decorative surprise around every corner at the Darwin, one which stands its ground well… > Read Our Full Review
