While Savannah’s charm lies in the unplanned, slowly unfolding days...

we felt a loosely planned itinerary might help the uninitiated. And if you're staying at Municipal Grand, our design-forward boutique hotel in the heart of Savannah, you're already in a pretty good position to explore the city on foot.

Start your morning with a coffee to-go.

Take a stroll to Collins Quarter at Forsyth Park for a leisurely breakfast in the middle of the park. Of note: our logo was inspired by the iconic spouting fountain swans.

After breakfast, make your way to Savannah’s Downtown Design District — our go-to for some of Savannah’s best independent retail. On the way, take the slight detour down Jones Street, often called one of the prettiest streets in America. Google Maps won’t send you that way. Ignore it.

From Designer Finds to Savannah’s Storied Past

Hannah E is a must-visit for women’s clothing and accessories — super stylish and so well curated; Madison & 5th for luxury resale (think Chanel, Hermès, and Gucci); and PW Short for mid-century barware, objects, and menswear. We love the Le Mont St Michel jackets.

Once you’ve had your fill of retail therapy, tour the historic Mercer Williams House — best known for its starring role in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It's in the middle of where you’ve just been shopping.

Heading Home...

You’ve been out for a while — there’s still much to do, but you need a reset. Head back to Municipal Grand, grab a frozen banana daiquiri by the pool, refresh, and gear up for your evening.

Lowcountry Flavours and Ghost Stories

Dinner at Common Thread is a must. Set inside a beautifully restored 1897 home, the restaurant is ingredient-driven and deeply rooted in the Lowcountry, working closely with local farmers and fishermen. Chefs Brandon Carter and Joseph Harrison were named 2025 James Beard Award semifinalists for Best Chef: Southeast — putting Common Thread firmly among the region’s best restaurants. Be sure to connect with our Front Desk team if you need assistance with reservations.

For a nightcap of a different sort, finish with a haunted history tour of the Sorrel-Weed House. The tour is great for architecture enthusiasts who also have twisted perversion for bone saw surgery rooms.

Stay in the heart of Savannah

Staying at a luxury hotel in Savannah shouldn't only refer to the interior, the service, the food, it should make it easy to experience the very city this beautiful hotel occupies, and Municipal Grand puts you right in the middle of it.

We’re just steps from Forsyth Park, the historic squares, independent shops, restaurants and bars, making it easy to spend less time getting around and more time living like a Savannahian.

Cheers!
