Tybee’s Only Beach Front Hotel
Voted Best Place to Stay on Tybee Island 5yrs in a row!
Heated and Cooled Oceanfront Pool
The DeSoto Beach Hotel is located less than 20 minutes from Historic Downtown Savannah, 45 minutes from the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, and only steps from Tybee Island’s beautiful beachfront.
Tybee Island offers many attractions and activities such as Historic Fort Pulaski, The Tybee Island Lighthouse Station & Museum, inshore and offshore fishing charters, eco-tours, dolphin tours, water sports, seasonal events and festivals, award winning restaurants, and a breathtaking oceanfront setting.
At today’s DeSoto Beach Hotel, we strive to recreate for every guest that same experience that the old DeSoto Beach Club was to generations of travelers and Tybee Island, GA locals. The buildings and amenities at Tybee’s only beachfront hotel may have been renewed and updated, but our soul remains the same. The magnificent old hotel, all red Spanish tile and palm-lined gardens, was a landmark not just for the Island, but also for the whole Southern coast. Back when it was built in 1939, genteel guests of the original Hotel DeSoto Beach Club had it all. Of course, luxury accommodations were different back then: the Beach Club’s chief draws were air conditioning and bathrooms en suite amenities mostly unheard of in those days!
Today’s DeSoto Beach Hotel strikes a delicate balance, drawing the best from every era of the storied hotel and adding an exciting, modern spin. It’s not a playground for the superrich anymore, but our staff still works just as hard to kill ‘em with kindness and service. People don’t flock here from hundreds of miles around to dance on the shore like they did once, but fun is what a stay at the DeSoto is all about. And the islanders may not congregate in the lounge chatting like the 24/7 neighborhood news station they once were, but the place still drips with local character.

I stayed at Desoto Beach Hotel around 1990 and was one of the best experiences I had. One of the best steak and egg breakfast and a very very beautiful beach. Now it is 2013 and I am looking for a package to visit again from Arizona

Staff is informative and friendly. Location on the beach and walking distance to south end where the night life kicks in.
