Travel News Ireland featured The DeSoto, and the charm of Savannah, in a full page review titled, “City of Firsts and Old School Charm.”

The article starts with a review of The DeSoto’s Sip & Stroll tour, by saying, “Kolin is the man to know in Savannah. He’s the seersucker-suited Sotherly host for the city’s historic DeSoto Hotel and the man who escorts hotel guests and curious tourists on daily Sip & Stroll tours around the Historic District of Georgia’s oldest city.”

The writer, Andrea McVeigh, who traveled all the way from her home in Ireland, also boasts about the hospitality, the history, the food (especially the oysters), and, of course, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade!

The review also reads, “With a city so filled with history, the 248-room DeSoto hotel is the perfect place to stay, not least because of its own fascinating story… A big hotel with a boutique feel, it offers amazing views over the city from its upper floors, an unforgettable fine dining experience with farm-fresh ingredients in its 1540 Room restaurant and memorable cocktails in Edgar’s Proof & Provision.”

Irish visitors to Georgia could travel from Dublin’s airport on a direct daily flight to Atlanta, with Delta. McVeigh gives travel tips, to Irish readers, about the best ways to travel in and out of the hostess city.

The feature was published in full color print, online, and also distributed to an additional 10,000+ online subscribers across Ireland. McVeigh is a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers, a professional travel writer, and a contributor to TravelGirl.
