1790 Inn and Restaurant: Savannah

307 East President Street
Savannah Georgia
(912) 236 - 7122

he year of 1790 was an important time for the city of Savannah in Georgia's early state history. The first election of aldermen, the first city council, and even the first mayor were elected to this free state during 1790, the result of a democratic process rather than royal appointees. 17Hundred90 is housed in two adjoining structures that were built throughout that year. It has served over a century as Savannah's only inn with a full service restaurant and lounge, and has fourteen beautifully restored rooms, each with its own fireplace and period furniture. The brick walls and slate floors are original, and very little has changed in the layout of the inn throughout the years, which perhaps has allowed some of our guests the opportunity to stay with us for a lifetime and beyond...

Rumor has it that a friendly, early 19th century ghost named Anna Powers haunts the inn. According to folklore, Anna fell in love with a married seaman in the early 1800s. She is said to have thrown herself to her own death from the third floor balcony onto the brick courtyard below, just as the sails of his ship left her sight and headed down the Savannah river to the sea. Some have suggested that the young Miss Powers was helped ad finestra by the seaman's jealous bride. Since then, her ghost has purportedly been seen wandering the halls throughout the inn and restaurant, particularly in room 204. Many of our guests and employees have reported strange occurences day and night which can only be attributed to the actions of the broken hearted Miss Powers, as she awaits her lover's return from the sea.
