Very nice hotel, beautiful room. We arrived too late for wine, but nice they had it. Very helpful staff.
We have to go back to the spotless old town because there was a thunder storm the night we arrived .

One of many historic city squares in Savannah this one built in the 1730s. Peaceful spot featuring large oak tree and statue of John Wesley the founder of the Methodist Church. Unfortunately many homeless enjoy visiting the squares too.

All the green small parks - squares - in the historical part of Savannah contribute greatly to the city's charm.
On the Reynolds Square is the famous John Wesley statue and across the street is The Olde Pink House. A building dating back to 1771, that is an upscale restaurant today. Both are worth seeing.
If you are taking part in a carriage or trolley tour you will surely drive by. If you are walking - even better - enjoy the park alongside the locals, moms with babies in strollers, artists creating and displaying their work.
We had a pleasant time on a fabulous sunny day...
A must see in Savannah....

Laid out in 1734 as Lower New Square, it was renamed for John Reynolds, the governor of Georgia in the 1750s. His initial popularity faded fast so there is a tradition that the joyful celebration on his arrival was more than matched by the excitement in the crowd who celebrated his departure. The imposing sculpture in the middle of the square celebrates the life of John Wesley, a Savannah pastor in the mid 18th century who became a famous preacher and the founder of the Methodist movement. The statute highlights Wesley's penchant for organizing worship services and preaching outside to crowds, rather than being confined to an indoor pulpit. Located on Abercorn between Bryan and Congress Streets, it is a busy thoroughfare. The Pink House and Lucas Theater sit on its perimeter.

This square has the monument of one of the most influential and inspiring men to have touched my life (John Wesley.)

Beautiful little square that features a plaque explaining Wesley's time in Savannah and has an inspiring statue. The layout is great and provides an island of tranquility in the city. Great spot to sit and unwind.

We stayed across the street from here at Planter's Inn so we really enjoyed this square. It was fun to sit back here and relax after a day of enjoying Savannah. We also enjoyed sitting in our room and looking out at the square. It was one of my favorite squares.

All of the squares here are peaceful, well-cared for, and pretty, but this is one of my favorites - perhaps because of the notable statue of John Wesley, one hand reaching out to seekers, the other with a firm hold on the Word of God. The craftsmanship on the statue is beautiful, and the explanatory markers help visitors understand just a little bit more about the unique and meaningful history of this beautiful place.

We knew there was a statue of John Wesley in one of the many Savannah squares and we wanted to find it. As it turned out, we did not have to look very long since Reynolds Square is where our 10:30 tour began. Every square has its own "personality" and Reynolds square is no exception. The beautiful trees, the nearby Pink House and the historical markers telling John Wesley's story makes this square unique.

What's not to like? Standing in John Wesley's shadow, one can see the Pink House, the Lucas Theatre, listen to the gentle notes from a nearby saxophone performer... Ice Cream from Leopold's a block away, sit and enjoy watching the carriages clip-clopping by, or the people coming and going... Rexalation is right here, come get it.
