"Thompson Savannah resides near River Street’s quieter Eastern edge. Here, there is a thriving community of art, culture, and cuisine, all within walking distance of this luxury hotel. “They’re really building up this area — everything is popping up — and thriving,” says Culberson. Pop into Bar Julian, the Thompson’s rooftop bar, or hit up the hotel’s swimming pool. “The pool is heated, so you can use it year-round, and they have cabanas that are free for guests,” says Culberson." - Karen Norian
