~ Hotel History ~
Built in 1890 on the site of Oglethorpe’s Barracks, the original DeSoto was the town’s unremitting purveyor of hospitality. Celebrities, dignitaries, and presidents were among guests, setting the bar for Savannah’s tourism. Today the Hilton Savannah DeSoto continues to stand as one of The Historic District’s leading full-service hotels, providing an unmatched setting for leisure and business travelers.
A sitting room dedicated to the history of the DeSoto affords guests a glimpse of the hotel’s past. The original crystal chandeliers, which were once described as “sparkling clusters of jewels,” still shine brilliantly in the hotel’s entryway.
