ACCOMMODATIONS

FIVE NIGHTS IN SAVANNAH

A beautifully restored 1876 Victorian mansion blends timeless Southern elegance with a modern sense of peace. Set in the heart of Savannah’s historic district, it features individually designed rooms, peaceful courtyards, and thoughtful amenities like yoga classes, afternoon tea, and locally sourced breakfasts. The home’s original details: soaring ceilings, heart pine floors, and ornate fireplaces—set a gracious tone, while the welcoming staff and soulful ambiance create a sense of homecoming. Staying at this charming inn isn’t just about luxury, it’s about rhythm, reflection, and the southern charm of Savannah life.

Kyle, the founder and CEO of Sudden Journeys, is a seasoned travel guide with over two decades of experience leading small groups. She has guided thousands of travelers across storied landscapes and city streets, always with one aim: to offer journeys that inspire, restore, and connect.

Her travel career began in Savannah. As a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Kyle worked as a licensed guide, leading historic and ghost tours through the city. It was in Savannah that she learned not just how to tell a story, but how to listen to a place. She knows every street and story of this city and returns with deep affection to share its beauty, complexity, and soul

Since then, Kyle has gone on to design and lead group tours across Europe, blending cultural depth and a desire to expand the worldview of her travelers. But Savannah remains her touchstone. This tour is more than a destination for her… it’s a return. A nod to her origins. With Kyle, you’ll experience the Low Country not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of someone who called it home.
