Summary:
On St. Paddy's Parade Rt! Luxury and history combine to provide an incredible Savannah lodging experience. With two ensuites, this second-floor apartment offers newly renovated spaces that bring all the comfort you expect today while preserving the historical touches of this long-standing piece of Savannah’s colonial past. Steps from The Pirate House (Savannah’s oldest building), minutes to the Riverwalk, and on the original grounds of Trustee Gardens, history surrounds your stay at The Retreat.
The Space:
This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at The Retreat on Broad.
