Life works in mysterious ways. Just as we were shoving one of Paula Deen’s red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting down our throats, we find out about Avia Savannah—which has Bobby Deen, Paula’s son, on its list of tastemakers! Not quite sure what an Avia tastemaker is just yet, but crazy, right?!
We dug a little bit and apparently Avia has reached out to celebrated locals to get their insider recommendations for the surrounding areas of its hotels, and the Savannah outpost—the first of four Avia-branded hotels to open in 2009—is conveniently located just steps from The Lady & Sons, Paula’s flagship restaurant, which we happened to stop by last Labor Day and were confronted with an hour-long wait for a table at 11:30 a.m. The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. So we’ll say that so far, Avia Savannah has got at least one thing right.
Now on to the hotel… It’s151 guestrooms and suites look and sound promising, with nine-foot ceilings, plantation shutters and free wireless. There’s also a pool, restaurant and wine bar, as well as the very inviting promotion of 50 percent off a first glass of wine or beer from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every night.
The hotel is accepting reservations for February 1, with rates that start at $249. Other Avia hotels are opening in Napa and Long Beach, CA next summer, as well as in the Woodlands, TX, next fall. If you plan to stop by, let us know about it, and if you’re able to get into The Lady & Sons for breakfast, we highly recommend the buffet.
