The DeSoto is a historic hotel at 15 East Liberty Street on Madison Square in Savannah, Georgia, constructed in 1968. It is within the area of the Savannah Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 1966, although it is not specifically mentioned in the nomination form, because the current structure had not been built yet.
