The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa
Resort · $$
Kids' club
No formal kids' club, but the property has a children's splash pad adjacent to the outdoor pool, nightly s'mores at a fire pit, and bike rentals. Pool hours run until 11 p.m. The 18-hole golf course suits older kids and teens who play. No supervised drop-off program.
Family room fit
Standard King and Double Queen rooms, Junior Suites, and Parlor Suites. Connecting rooms are available. Suites are large enough for young kids; river-view rooms worth requesting at booking.
The splash pad, late pool hours, nightly s'mores ritual, and a complimentary ferry to River Street give families genuine resort structure without leaving Hutchinson Island. It is the most self-contained, amenity-complete family option in the Savannah market.
Watch out: The island location means you depend on the ferry or ride-shares to reach Savannah's squares and best restaurants — families who want to walk out the front door into the Historic District should look elsewhere. Standard rooms run $220–$350/night, which is real money for a property that is, at its core, a convention hotel with good family amenities.
Lucky Savannah Vacation Rentals
Condo · $
Kids' club
No kids' club or pool on property. Family appeal comes from the Historic District location — Forsyth Park playground, Savannah Children's Museum, Georgia State Railroad Museum, and ghost tours are all within easy walking distance. High chairs and pack-n-plays available in select homes.
Family room fit
Homes range from 1-bedroom lofts to 6-bedroom Victorian mansions sleeping 8–14. Full kitchens, washers and dryers, private courtyards, and off-street parking in most properties. Connecting layouts not applicable — you get an entire home.
Lucky Savannah solves the two problems hotel rooms cannot: enough bedrooms for everyone, and a kitchen that saves real money on meals. Larger properties in the Historic District are often cheaper than booking three separate hotel rooms, and families actually feel embedded in the city rather than housed near it.
Watch out: These are real historic Savannah homes — staircases are narrow, floors creak, and layouts predate open-plan design. Families with infants should confirm crib availability before booking. Air conditioning in older buildings can struggle on the hottest July afternoons; ask about HVAC before committing.

Frequently asked
When is the best time to visit Savannah with kids?
March through May and October through November are the sweet spots. Spring brings mild temperatures (60s–70s), the famous azalea blooms, and St. Patrick's Day energy without summer heat. Fall cools off noticeably after September and is less crowded. June through August is manageable but genuinely hot and humid — plan outdoor activities for the morning, and count on an afternoon retreat to the pool or air conditioning. December is quiet and pleasant for walking the squares, though some outdoor attractions have reduced hours.
Is Savannah a beach vacation?
No — Savannah itself is inland on the Savannah River. The nearest beaches are on Tybee Island, about 18 miles east (roughly a 30-minute drive). Tybee is a small, low-key barrier island with a public beach, a lighthouse, and a marine science center — worth a day trip, not a reason to stay in Savannah if a beach resort is your priority. If you want a dedicated beach-and-resort trip, the South Carolina coast (Hilton Head is 45 minutes north) may be a better base.
How do families get around Savannah?
The Historic District is walkable — the famous squares are designed for it, and Forsyth Park is reachable on foot from most central accommodations. For Tybee Island day trips or outlying restaurants, you need a car or ride-share. If you stay at the Westin on Hutchinson Island, the free ferry to River Street handles downtown access without a car, but you will still need a ride-share for anything beyond the riverfront. Parking in the Historic District is scarce and metered; vacation rentals like Lucky Savannah include off-street parking, which is a meaningful perk.
What age range is Savannah best suited for?
Savannah works best for families with kids ages 6 and up. The Historic District is a walking destination — cobblestones, uneven sidewalks, and distances that add up quickly make it tiring for toddlers who are not yet strong walkers. Kids in the 7–14 range tend to engage well with ghost tours, the Georgia State Railroad Museum, the Children's Museum, and the riverfront energy. Teens appreciate the food scene and the atmospheric squares. Infants and very young toddlers are fine in a stroller but the destination doesn't offer much specifically for them — a beach resort or theme-park trip may suit that age better.
