Bed and Breakfast Eliza Thompson House, Historic Inns of Savannah Collection

5 West Jones Street , Savannah, GA 31401, United States of America – Excellent location – show map

Perfect location for walking to restaurants and shops. The staff was so friendly! Wonderful appetizers and wine in the evening AND the best breakfast ever included in our stay!

Michelle

The operator and staff of the Eliza Thompson House did everything they could to make our stay an enjoyable and memorable experience. This was our second time staying at Eliza Thompson and it will certainly not be our last. As we pulled up in front of the building we were greeted by the bellman who knew our name and room number and preceded to deliver our bags to the room while my wife and I checked in with the concierge who gave us a rundown of all the available amenities, and there are a ton of them. From the evening snacks and desserts in the parlor to the exquisitely prepared breakfast in the morning the Eliza Thompson staff goes the extra mile to ensue the satisfaction of their customers. If you have the occasion to visit Savannah, Georgia book a couple nights at Eliza Thompson House. You won’t be disappointed.

I was looking for a different atmosphere other than the usual hotels. We decided that when in Rome do as the Romans so we booked a stay in a historical home and we were pleasantly surprised of the way they were so nice and accommodating to you. Basically, the southern charm was exactly as I would hope for. Breakfast is included and it’s excellent. Also at 7:30 they serve hors d'oeuvres and wine. That’s included as well. The room was as we expected for a home built in the 1800’s. The Inn is beautiful and has a history. I will definitely stay again when in town in the future.

I absolutely loved the Breakfast they provided. The chef was not only one of the best ever(I went on 3 culinary tours and his meals were better A+) but he was also very much of a gentleman and would come out every morning to make sure that everything was OK. He went above and beyond the Call of Duty. The ladies that waited the breakfast tables were some of the nicest people I have ever met as was the staff inside at the front desk.Housekeeping A +. I was in the Carter room which is very small but cozy and the window view was amazing. I could see over the Courtyard and into the moss trees it was absolutely beautiful. Eliza Thompson has some of the best staff in Savannah. I enjoyed my stay there.

Thinking of coming in December will the city be decorated for the holidays and when would be a good time to see the decorations

Usually the City starts decorating the squares and downtown just after Thanksgiving. Individual properties and businesses, are right around that time also, right before the Historic Holiday Tour of Homes event the first or second week of December.

Is your parking on the premises?

Thank you for your interest in the Eliza Thompson House, in response to your question about parking. It is metered street parking only. However, you will need to purchase a parking pass from the front desk at the cost of $15.00 for a 24 hour period or a $30 pass that will cover a 48 hour period. We will be happy to explain this when you arrive. The meters are monitored in the downtown area Monday through Saturday from 8am until 8pm; Sunday they are free. With the above pass you can park at any meter that is over an hour anywhere in the downtown area. Or you can use it at any one of the City of Savannah Parking garages. The most troublesome time to obtaining a space, is on either Monday or Thursday nights, those are the nights the Department of Sanitation, schedules the street sweeping in the downtown area. The bellmen do a wonderful job of assisting guests in the quest for parking on these nights.

Looking for a hallmark Christmas movie experience in December. What do you have going on in December?

Being an avid fan of Hallmark Christmas movies, I know just what you mean about the movie experience. Savannah has it's own charm when it comes to celebrating holidays. From the 1st week in December with the Christmas Tour of Homes and Inns, to the Boat Parade, the Christmas Parade on River Street, the lighting of the 50ft Christmas tree, Whitefield Square with it's gazebo all decked out in red Christmas bows, and do not miss the Savannah Theater's production of Holiday Traditions.

Property info

Built in 1847, The Eliza Thompson House offers visitors a private, peaceful retreat just a short walk from Savannah's historic attractions. The Eliza Thompson House consists of 12 rooms in the "main house" and 13 rooms in a "carriage house", which overlooks the courtyard. One of the most enchanting Savannah boutique hotels, the inn includes a brick-paved garden courtyard and beautiful moss-draped trees. It is located on beautiful Jones Street, just a block away from Mrs. Wilkes famous restaurant and a short walk to Forsyth Park. Enjoy Savannah's charm during the day, and spend your evenings relaxing in The Eliza Thompson House's private courtyard. Lush greenery and moss covered crepe myrtle trees compliment the courtyard's focal point: a flowing Ivan Bailey fountain. Japanese koi grace a small pool at the base of the fountain, and delightful benches, tables, and chairs tucked into corners provide several places for you to enjoy a slow paced afternoon in Savannah.

Neighborhood info

Lined by massive live oak and magnolia trees, the world-famous, brick-paved Jones Street will charm you with its elegant old homes, including the Eliza Thompson House. Much of the original brick has been replaced over the years, but in some areas the original brick and pavers remain. Visitors will find a multitude of interesting shops and antique stores within walking distance of The Eliza Thompson House. Many of the shops around the Inn are a part of The Downtown Design District, a collection of high-end shops and art galleries which specialize in everything from fine linens to local art. You'll also find restaurants like Mrs. Wilkes and Clary's Cafe, both Savannah traditions, right on Jones Street. Forsyth Park, The Mercer House and The Green Meldrim House are all located within a block or two of the Inn.
