Christmas at The Gastonian
The Gastonian stands at 220 East Gaston Street, two blocks from Forsyth Park.
In December, the park is the quiet end of Savannah's Christmas: the fountain white against the evergreens, the live oaks holding their moss through winter, and the paths shared with locals out for a morning walk. For travelers looking for hotels near Forsyth Park in Savannah at Christmas, The Gastonian puts the park at the start of every day.
Forsyth Park at Christmas
The Gastonian is an adults-only inn of 17 rooms, set in two adjoining mansions joined by a walkway over a garden. A December stay here follows the park. Breakfast is made to order each morning, then the fountain is a short walk away while the city is still waking up. Afternoons are for the shaded paths and the streets around the park, many of their doorways dressed for the season. Evenings come back to the inn, with wine and hors d'oeuvres before dinner and, later, desserts, coffee and cordials.
What's on near us

Two 1868 houses by the park
The Gastonian's two Regency-Italianate mansions date to 1868, when the neighborhood around Forsyth Park was filling in with family homes. The City of Savannah tells more of the park's history.
