Georgia (139

The Peach State stretches from the Sea Islands on the Atlantic coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains in north Georgia. In between, hotel guests will find quaint small towns, modern cities and that famous Southern hospitality.

Start exploring Georgia in bustling Atlanta, home to major league sports and endless opportunities for dining and shopping. Downtown’s Georgia Aquarium is the largest in the world, and you can quench your thirst at the adjacent World of Coca-Cola. Atlanta’s High Museum of Art, the Fernbank Museum of Natural History and the Joel Chandler Harris Home (the Wren’s Nest) provide a cultural fix, while Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell draws kids of all ages.

Historic Savannah is a must-see destination, with its charming squares and gardens. Enjoy the beach just outside your Georgia accommodations on family-friendly Jekyll Island or climb Tybee Island’s lighthouse before returning to the city for dinner at Paul Deen’s Lady and Sons (arrive early—it’s popular!).
