19th century architecture.

History:
The Planters Inn is rich in history as it stands on the
former site of the first parsonage of John Wesley, the founder of
Methodism.
The original building was built in 1812 as a
"mirror house" for Oliver Sturges' twin daughters. In
1913, one side of the house was damaged by fire, and soon after became
the John Wesley Hotel. At the time, the hotel was known as
Savannah's premier brothel.
In 1982, after a fire destroyed the south side of the
building, the structure was closed for sometime. Renovations and
renaming of the Inn began and the hotel reopened in Spring of 1984 as
the Planters Inn. Employees and guests alike have reported sightings on
various occasions. The most common sightings is of a woman
dressed in a gown who moves about the floors, rearranging the hanging
pictures. She has also been seen wandering around the lobby late
at night. This mysterious ghost has been rumored to be the twin
daughter who once lived in the house.
