Rising twelve ornate stories above the palm-lined squares of Savannah, Georgia, the grand Hotel Savannah glows in warm chromolithographic color in this stunning early advertising postcard — early automobiles parked at the curb, well-dressed pedestrians milling beneath its elaborately corbelled roofline draped in greenery, and two flags snapping proudly from the parapet. Billed on the reverse as "The South's Most Beautiful Fire-Proof Hotel," the property offered rooms without bath for $1.00–$1.50 per day, a remarkable window into Edwardian travel luxury. Under the stewardship of president J. B. Pound and manager G. R. Benton, the hotel was a landmark of Savannah's prosperous early twentieth-century hospitality scene; this card, published by I. F. Co., Inc. of Atlanta and catalogued R-23578, was never mailed and retains unusually bright color typical of the White Border era.
