The Alida
For those whose Spring Break travel is leaning more road trip than runway this year, Makeready has three perfectly positioned Southern stays that deliver charm, culture, and sunshine - no passport required. Within easy driving distance for much of the Southeast, Emeline and The Ryder Hotel in Charleston and The Alida in Savannah offer three distinct takes on a spring escape.

- Emeline | Charleston: A refined, family-friendly retreat just off King Street with spacious suites, wood-fired pizzas at Frannie & The Fox, and easy access to cobblestone strolls and beach days on Sullivan’s Island.
- The Ryder Hotel | Charleston: A playful, pool-forward escape featuring frozen cocktails, retro-chic rooms, a buzzy courtyard scene, and a complimentary Gear Garage stocked with beach chairs and bikes, ideal for friend groups and couples chasing that first warm-weather glow.
- The Alida | Savannah, GA: Overlooking the riverfront steps from the Historic District, blending Southern polish with rooftop energy at The Lost Square, perfect for golden-hour cocktails after gallery-hopping.
Together, the trio delivers road-trip luxury with Southern style and warm-weather momentum. Happy to share rates, imagery, or curated itineraries.
