The General Oglethorpe Hotel was built in 1926 - and at the time of this ad was owned by the Teamsters Union Pension Fund!  It would later be part of the Sheraton chain; today they're condos -- The Wilmington Plantation.  (On the outside it looks good, but inside it's another story)  I'd say the girl in the picture is more appealing - even as an 80-something.  :-)

On a more positive note, The DeSoto Beach Hotel is still going strong.  Oh, and Savannah Beach changed its name to Tybee Island in the '70s (and the locals will get very testy if you call it by the old name!).  --Russell
