Savannah or Charleston?

I enjoy Savanna but I consider it Charleston Lite, a scaled down version of Charleston. Go to Charleston. It is a beautiful, historic and atmospheric city with plenty of excellent restaurants.

Charleston +++++

Thanks everyone. Any specific recommendations for Charleston?

My favorite hotel there is the Vendue. Very nice hotel in a great location near the waterfront and within walking distance to most places you will want to go. They have a couple of nice bars including one on the rooftop.

Favorite restaurants include FIG, SNOB, Anson and the Peninsula Grill.

I prefer Charleston.

Savannah may have a better drinking party scene.

Either will be fine.

Charleston for all purposes.

Charleston is so much nicer it's not funny. I told a friend this two weeks ago and thought maybe I was bit full of myself. He goes to both with his wife and tells me my feedback was spot-on, and dropped a few nights in Savannah for a few more in CHS.


Now if you have property near Savannah it might be better, as you are not parked short-term in a hotel in the grittier downtown.

wife and I did our last anniversary in Charleston, 3 days was perfect

I love both places. I seem to be in the minority but I think they’re much more similar to each other than most. Honestly I think I usually have a better time in Savannah.
