AVIA Hotel Savannah - Excellent Romantic Vacations Feature Review

By: Maureen M, ERV Staff Writer

We liked: Location close to Historic District and River St, terrace & pool, “hosting suite” idea, very clean.

Could be better: Surrounded by one-way streets so driving up is tricky, noise from streets, Ellis Square and construction across the street may affect sensitive ears.

The Avia Hotel is part of a chain of luxury boutique hotels with locations in Savannah, Napa and Long Beach.

Location: The location is great for tourists as it’s right in the restored historic district of Savannah, across from beautiful Ellis Square. It’s only steps to City Market and Paula Deen’s famous restaurant, The Lady and Sons. River Street is only 2 blocks away, and a quick walk will take you to a tree-lined river with park-like surroundings and plenty of room for a romantic stroll or simply to sit down and contemplate this amazing city.

The downtown location means that it can be a little bit noisy at night, but we found it wasn’t too bad and slept well. The sound machine in each room helps muffle outside noises and you can fall asleep to the sound of a babbling brook or other soothing background noise.

Since walking everywhere is so convenient, you really don’t need a car, but parking at the hotel costs around $20/day. Valet service was very efficient and friendly. Old Savannah Trolley tours leave from right outside the hotel every 20 minutes from 9am to 4:30 pm and are full of fascinating information about historic old Town.

Romantic Rooms at the AVIA Savannah

The Avia has six floors and 151 rooms and suites. Many have views of Ellis Square, City Market and News Place Courtyard. The nine-foot ceilings, crown moulding, plantation shutters and French doors to the balcony really add to the feeling of historical luxury.

We stayed in a “Hosting Suite”, the idea being that you can have others to your room for drinks and snacks before dinner. It also allowed us to eat breakfast in our room as this was not included in the cost, and options downstairs at the restaurant seemd a bit pricy and limited. (The small Avia restaurant offers a breakfast for $16 that is hearty enough to keep you going all day, and many people rave about it.)

The kitchen had a full-sized fridge, dishwasher, microwave and all dishes and cutlery you need. There was also a 2-cup individual coffee maker by Cuisinart. When we ran out of coffee packets, we called down for more and someone brought it up within minutes.

Greg and I thought the size of the room was adequate, although not generous. The balcony was so small that it couldn’t accommodate furniture, but the view was quite nice, with lots of old buildings and greenery (there was some construction going on next door, but that should be completed before long).

The bathroom boasted a huge walk-in shower with removable shower head. Some rooms have footed soaker tubs. The comfortable king-sized bed had thick Italian cotton linens and turndown service was offered each evening. Waffle-weave robes, bottled water and the ever-popular chocolate on the pillow were lovely to come back to after a long hot day of sight-seeing.

Other little niceties included free Wi-Fi, lighted makeup mirror, a 42-inch flat screen TV that swivels so that you can watch it from the bed, an iron and ironing board and free cookies and sweet tea on arrival. We also thought the laptop safe with its 4-digit code was a good idea for the modern traveler.

Amenities at the AVIA

A complete fitness room is offered next to the pool and all common areas are kept extremely clean.

In the evening, you can get a drink in the lounge, along with small tasting plates and desserts. Wedding packages and lavish reception options are available. Catered rehearsal dinners on the terrace are also a good idea for weddings in romantic Savannah.
