Set-jetting is having a major moment, but what if you didn’t need a passport to participate? Americans are increasingly keeping their travels close to home. According to a recent Ipsos survey, 53% of U.S. travelers plan to stay within the country this year, with nearly 4 in 10 already choosing domestic trips over international ones to save money.
For travelers across the nation, Savannah, Georgia is one of America’s most cinematic cities hiding in plain sight. And Perry Lane Hotel, a luxury boutique property rooted in the city’s arts-forward soul, is the ideal base for an in-state escape.
Savannah has quietly become one of the most-filmed backdrops in the country. Its Spanish moss-draped squares, antebellum architecture, and golden-hour light have stood in for countless productions, and the city’s own SCAD Savannah Film Festival draws filmmakers and cinephiles every fall, turning the streets into a living movie set. For travelers who want to step inside that cinematic world without booking a transatlantic flight, this is their destination.
Perry Lane Hotel makes that experience feel effortlessly elevated:
- A design-forward property in the heart of Savannah’s Landmark Historic District, steps from locations that have appeared on screen for decades
- A rooftop pool and bar with sweeping views of the city’s storybook skyline, the kind of backdrop that practically begs to be photographed
- Curated local programming and a deep connection to Savannah’s creative community, including ties to SCAD’s cultural calendar
- Thoughtfully appointed rooms that feel like a director’s cut of Southern hospitality: layered, storied, and unexpected
