Ballastone Inn

Frommer's Review

This glamorous inner-city B&B occupies a dignified 1838 building separated from the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace (home of the founder of the Girl Scouts of America) by a well-tended formal garden; it's richly decorated with all the hardwoods, elaborate draperies, and antique furniture you'd expect. For a brief period (only long enough to add a hint of spiciness), the place functioned as a bordello and a branch office for the Girl Scouts (now next door). It has an elevator, unusual for Savannah B&Bs, but no closets (they were taxed as extra rooms in the old days and so never added). It also has many truly unusual furnishings -- cachepots filled with scented potpourri, and art objects that would thrill the heart of any decorator. A full-service bar is tucked into a corner of what was originally a double parlor. Each suite has a Jacuzzi tub as well as a private dressing area.
