The Best Hotel Bargains in Georgia

Sugar Magnolia (Atlanta; tel. 404/222-0226; www.sugarmagnoliabb.com): Situated in a historic district, this 1892 Victorian house of considerable charm rents individually styled and commodious guest rooms with Southern style and flair, each suitable to house a colonel in the Confederate army. The staircase alone is worthy of an entrance by Miss Scarlett.

Plains Bed and Breakfast Inn (Plains; tel. 229/824-7252; www.plainsbandb.com): In Jimmy Carter's hometown, this is a stylish B&B built by a Baptist preacher in 1910. It's just two doors away from a service station where the former president's brother, Billy, often held press conferences. Miss Lillian and her husband were said to have "conceived" the future president in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
