Book early for peak season. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are Savannah's busiest seasons. St. Patrick's Day weekend (mid-March) books out 6–12 months in advance. Book as early as possible for these periods.

Consider parking costs. Parking in the Historic District is limited and can be expensive. Many hotels offer parking packages — ask when you book. If you're staying for a weekend, consider leaving the car at home entirely.

Ask about noise. Some Historic District hotels are on busy streets. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the street or on a higher floor.

Compare rates across dates. Hotel prices in Savannah vary significantly by day of the week and season. A Tuesday night can be dramatically cheaper than a Saturday night at the same property.
