Georgia
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Vastly different at each of its edges, Georgia, the largest state east of the Mississippi River, offers a bit of everything.
Most visitors land in Atlanta, a sprawling metropolis with friendly neighborhoods eating and drinking alongside big business. Then you hit the coast, where you fall under the spell of Savannah's live oaks, antebellum homes, seafood and hot humid nights.
Your imagination gets whisked along the coastal barrier islands, many of which are preserves for waterfowl, migratory birds, alligators, nesting sea turtles and wild horses.

Suggested Itineraries: Georgia
Long known as the 'Capital of the New South', Atlanta has benefited in recent years from a booming economy. There are offbeat neighborhoods to explore and old-fashioned towns nearby where you can savor something of Atlanta's bygone days.
Savannah is an elegant, dignified city, full of white mansions and oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. But in contrast to its similarly elegant neighbor, Charleston, Savannah also enjoys being a little bit debauched.
Georgia Hotels

Vintage chic reigns at the Thunderbird, a renovated motel with rooms including internet and continental breakfast. Parking is free, too. The hotel is just outside the tourist area, across from the Greyhound station - look for the humongous neon sign.
A giant hotel on the National Register of Historic Places, Georgian Terrace hosted many of the Gone With the Wind stars during the film's debut in 1939. The hotel has undergone a massive facelift and is worth a wander through whether you're stay here or not.
The location is choice. The design motif is bohemian chic. The rooms are absurdly expensive. But if you want luxe accommodations, the 18,000-sq-ft Mansion delivers. (The sexy bathrooms alone are practically worth the money, with their frosted-glass showers, sunken tubs and electric candlelight.)
