Georgia has a quiet way of making romance feel easy. From charming inns tucked into the mountains to elegant hotels in the heart of Savannah, every stay offered something personal — something that slowed us down and brought us closer. We found ourselves in porch swings and garden paths, beach walks and rooftop bars. I remember thinking, “We don’t need a plane ticket for this kind of magic — it’s right here.”
