Gentleman's Parlor
Gentlemen's Parlor is an Asian-inspired sanctuary of tranquility and calm from the centuries-old vintage hand-carved mantle and cozy, warm fireplace to the simplistic lines of the wooden screen headboard. The surprising Shoji screen-enclosed bath and two-person walk-in shower continue the theme of serenity by creating separate spaces for the bathroom and the steamy shower. (Rates: $149 to $249) [-]
For a Savannah business retreat consider the Azalea Inn with the executive influence of the executive mansion of Walter K. Coney on Huntingdon Street. With Captain Coney’s next door neighbor, William B. Stillwell (said to be the first paying customer for electricity in Savannah), the two executives in leading Savannah Georgia business circles were turn-of-the century gentlemen movers and shakers which writers, authors, artists, cookbooks, movies, producers, and photographers capture when talking about the best of Savannah Georgia travel, history, culture and people.
The Savannah Convention and Visitor’s Bureau writes, “From songwriters and movie stars to the founders of this great nation; [many of] the influential, famous and even infamous have often begun their life journeys in our city….” One reader writes of John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a novel based upon a real-life Savannah Georgia murder mystery, “There is sex, lies, and murder, which make you feel like you are reading a fictional novel. From beginning to end you feel like you are just another person in the town….” For Savannah business travel and tourism, Savannah has a distinctive way of making the Savannah traveler feel like the welcome southern guest.
Notable novels include Savannah, Georgia’s southern drama. Savannah or A Gift For Mr. Lincoln by John Jakes, a resident of Hilton Head Island SC, and other new big-story hopefuls include Tom Kohler and Susan Earl's Waddie Welcome and the Beloved Community, an inspirational tale of a disabled man's determination to live life on his own terms and how the community helped him achieve that, and Savannah Blues, a novel by Mary Kay Andrews that derives its charm from an encyclopedic trove of lore about antiquities and dishy gossip, Southern style.
In her infamous Gone with the Wind sensation, southern author Margaret Mitchell calls Savannah the "gently mannered city by the sea." Other novels on Savannah were written by Eugenia Price who chose Savannah, Georgia, as one of the most fascinating cities of the South, as the setting of a quartet of novels -– Savannah, Stranger in Savannah, To See Your Face Again (a glorious tale as unforgettable as first love), and Before the Darkness Falls -- that follow the fortunes of the city and families that gave it life.
