East of the Mississippi River, the magnificent Deep South state of Georgia is rich in history and culture. It is also blessed with fascinatingly varied landscapes — from leafy forests and coastal lagoons to lush islands and towering mountains. A brilliant destination for art lovers, foodies and outdoorsy travellers of all ages, Georgia offers a plethora of accommodation options, including simple B&Bs, rural hideaways and swish city hotels fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Georgia are set within its lively towns and cities, but we do have some rural favourites on the beautiful Sea Islands, too.
