Savannah's most design-forward boutique arrival.

The 44 rooms run custom furniture, hardwood and terrazzo floors, handcrafted Zia-tiled bathrooms, and minibars stocked with curated spirits. Municipal Bar is the crescent-shaped all-day cocktail restaurant at street level, the Sun Club is a guests-only rooftop pool deck with Historic District views, and the Hot Eye is a moody subterranean bar open to the public.

Little James, the on-site Mediterranean bistro, works as a café by day and a cocktail bar by night. Seasonal outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, and complimentary bicycles.

The complimentary Rise breakfast is cooked to order, with whole fruit, granola, a build-your-own Chobani parfait station, and hot items from the kitchen.

Savannah Hotels Opening Soon
The most significant new hotel projects under construction across Savannah, Georgia — including the city's first Ritz-Carlton and the largest hotel development in its history.
Recess Hotel & Club
The next Savannah opening on the calendar — Recess Hotel & Club is slated for September 2026 with a retro-futurist design concept unlike anything else in the city. Its signature social feature is the Rumpus Rooms: communal spaces on every floor built to encourage spontaneous interaction between guests rather than the usual corridor silence. It follows Municipal Grand and Hotel Bardo in confirming Savannah as a genuine destination for design-forward independent hotels rather than just historic inns.
Get the alert when Recess opens →The Ritz-Carlton Savannah, Downtown
Georgia's first Ritz-Carlton. TMGOC Ventures broke ground in April 2026 on a 168-room hotel inside the historic "Savannah Skyscraper" at 2 E. Bryan Street, the 1915 tower overlooking Johnson Square that locals have called the skyscraper for a century. Designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio with Studio Mc+G Architecture, the property will feature a signature restaurant, lobby lounge, members-only club, rooftop bar and pool, a 5,000 sq ft spa and wellness center, and more than 5,000 sq ft of meeting space, alongside 20 branded residences at 14 E. Bryan Street. Targeting the first quarter of 2028.
Get Ritz-Carlton Savannah updates →Signia by Hilton Savannah
The largest hotel project in Savannah's history — a $398 million, 18-story, 444-room Signia by Hilton that broke ground October 2025 on Hutchinson Island, directly adjacent to the expanded Savannah Convention Center. Owned by the Savannah-Georgia Convention Center Authority, it will serve as the city's convention headquarters hotel with a 13,000 sq ft ballroom, five food and beverage outlets including a chef-driven restaurant and destination bar, a Club Signia premium lounge, and a rooftop pool overlooking the Savannah River. Georgia's second Signia by Hilton, targeting mid-2028.
Get Hutchinson Island alerts →Also on the Radar
- TownePlace Suites Savannah Gateway — The dual-brand partner to Holiday Inn Express Savannah Gateway at I-95 Exit 94, offering extended-stay kitchen suites with Marriott Bonvoy benefits about 20 minutes from the Historic District.
- Hutchinson Island Convention District — The Savannah Convention Center expansion and the Signia by Hilton together represent the largest hospitality investment in the city's history, reshaping the north bank of the river into a full convention district by the end of the decade.
- Savannah Boutique Pipeline — The Historic District continues to attract independent hotel developers drawn by the walkable squares, the SCAD arts scene, the culinary reputation, and year-round tourism demand. More boutique openings are expected through 2027 and beyond.
*Opening timelines are subject to change as projects move through development and construction. We update this page as new information becomes available.
Savannah Neighborhood Guide
Savannah's Historic District is only about a square mile — twenty-two oak-shaded squares you can cross on foot in an afternoon — so "where to stay" here isn't really about distance. It's about which version of the city you want outside the door: the riverfront bustle, a quiet square, Forsyth Park, or Broughton Street's shops. A few blocks changes the entire character of the trip.
Forsyth Park & the South Historic District — The Quiet Grandeur
The southern end of the Historic District centers on Forsyth Park — the thirty-acre green heart of Savannah with its iconic fountain, framed by the city's most beautiful residential blocks and antebellum mansions. It's calmer here than the riverfront, leafier, and closer to the version of Savannah people fall in love with. This is the base for a romantic or restorative trip rather than a rowdy one.
Hotel Bardo Savannah is the anchor and the most celebrated hotel the city has ever had — a 19th-century Southern Gothic mansion on Forsyth Park transformed into a two-acre urban resort when it opened February 2024, named best new hotel by Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and Southern Living in a single year. It's past our two-year window now, but nothing has displaced it. The 149 rooms and 50 suites surround a 25-meter pool; Saint Bibiana handles destination coastal Italian, Saltgrass runs the spa and a Forsyth Park run club, and Club Bardo is the city's first private members' social club. Equal parts hotel and neighborhood clubhouse. Forsyth-area rooms are limited and in demand, so compare Forsyth Park hotel rates in Savannah early, especially for spring and fall weekends when the squares are at their best.
River Street & the Waterfront — The Historic Bustle
Down the bluff at the northern edge, River Street runs along the Savannah River on cobblestones ballasted from old ships, lined with restaurants, candy shops, and bars, with the riverboats departing and the container ships sliding past close enough to read. It's the liveliest, most touristed part of the city — walkable to everything, loud in the evenings, and exactly right if you want the action on your doorstep.
Tempo by Hilton Savannah Historic District is the newest arrival anywhere in the city — opened April 2026 on East Bryan Street just off Reynolds Square, a LEED-certified building and the Georgia debut of Hilton's wellness brand. Peloton Suites come with in-room bikes, the gym runs 24 hours, and the Waving Girl Rooftop looks out over the river with a wine list built around women winemakers. Bluestone Lane Café holds the street level. A few blocks east, AC Hotel Savannah Historic District opened April 2025 at 601 E River Street with 170 rooms, private river-view balconies on the upper floors, and Lavender Rooftop Kitchen & Bar — one of Savannah's most sought-after sunset spots. Waterfront rooms carry a premium for the location and the views, so compare River Street hotel rates in Savannah against the interior squares; a block inland often costs noticeably less.
Broughton Street & the North Historic District — Shopping and Design
A few blocks up from the river, Broughton Street is Savannah's main shopping and dining spine — the walkable commercial heart of the Historic District, surrounded by the squares that make the city famous. Staying here puts you in the middle of everything without the riverfront crowds, and it's where Savannah's design-forward boutique scene has concentrated.
Municipal Grand is the standout — opened July 2025 in a reimagined 1961 bank building at the corner of Broughton and Abercorn, from Midnight Auteur, the hospitality group behind Death & Co. Its 44 rooms feature custom furniture and handcrafted Zia-tiled bathrooms; Municipal Bar is a crescent-shaped all-day cocktail restaurant, the Sun Club is a guests-only rooftop pool deck, and the Hot Eye is a moody subterranean bar open to the public. Garden & Gun called it Savannah's new living room. The neighbourhood's next act is The Ritz-Carlton Savannah, Downtown — Georgia's first, which broke ground in April 2026 on a 168-room conversion of the historic Savannah Skyscraper at 2 E. Bryan Street, with a rooftop bar and pool and a 5,000 sq ft spa, targeting the first quarter of 2028. Compare Broughton Street hotel rates in Savannah across your dates; this central stretch moves with the events and festival calendar.
Yamacraw & the Western Historic District — Extended Stays and Space
The western edge of the Historic District, around the Yamacraw Village area, is where Savannah's newer extended-stay and apartment-style inventory has landed — still walkable to the squares and River Street, but a little removed from the busiest blocks, and better suited to a stay measured in days rather than a night or two.
The Ann Savannah, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy is a genuine first — opened February 2025 as the first Apartments by Marriott property on the U.S. mainland, 157 apartment-style suites from studios to a four-bedroom, all with full kitchens and in-unit laundry, housed in a striking heavy-timber building with exposed beams and high ceilings. Little James, the on-site Mediterranean bistro, runs café by day and cocktail bar by night. For a stay of several nights or a family that wants a kitchen, it's the smartest option in the district — compare extended-stay rates in Savannah against a standard hotel room for the same nights, since the per-night math shifts quickly on longer trips.
Midtown & the Southside — Where the Value Is
South of the Historic District, Savannah becomes an ordinary Southern city again — Oglethorpe Mall, Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah State University, and the everyday commercial corridors that visitors never see. It's a ten to fifteen minute drive from the squares and you'll want a car, but the rates are a different world from downtown and the rooms are frequently newer.
Element Savannah Midtown opened January 2025 near Oglethorpe Mall as Marriott's Westin-inspired extended-stay brand, built around sustainability and wellbeing. All 113 rooms, studios, and suites include fully equipped kitchens, and the complimentary Rise breakfast is cooked to order rather than the usual warming tray. Free self-parking, EV charging, a 24/7 fitness center, and pet-friendly rooms. For a family, a longer stay, or anyone who'd rather spend the difference on dinner than on a Historic District address, compare Midtown hotel rates in Savannah against a downtown room — the gap frequently covers a very good meal.
The Airport, I-95 & Hutchinson Island — Practical and Convention
Beyond the city, the I-95 corridor and the airport serve travelers who want value, easy highway access, or a stopover on the drive along the coast — while Hutchinson Island, just across the river, is emerging as Savannah's convention hub. None of it has the squares-and-Spanish-moss romance, but for the right trip it's the practical call and the rates reflect it.
Holiday Inn Express Savannah Gateway opened December 2025 at Exit 94 off I-95, a brand-new build about 20 minutes from the Historic District and 15 from the airport, with a companion TownePlace Suites Savannah Gateway alongside it for extended stays. Across the river, the $398 million Signia by Hilton Savannah broke ground in October 2025 as the future convention headquarters hotel — 444 rooms and a rooftop pool overlooking the river, targeting mid-2028, the most transformative single hotel project in the city's history. For a highway stopover or an airport-adjacent night, compare I-95 corridor hotel rates in Savannah against a Historic District room; the gap easily covers the short drive in.
New Hotels in Savannah, Georgia
Savannah is one of America's most beloved travel destinations, and its hotel scene has quietly become one of the most exciting in the South.

If you're searching for new hotels in Savannah GA, luxury hotels in Savannah Georgia, or boutique hotels in Savannah's Historic District, this page tracks every significant recent opening and upcoming development across the city.
The newest arrival is Tempo by Hilton Savannah Historic District, which opened in April 2026 on East Bryan Street just off Reynolds Square as the Georgia debut of Hilton's wellness-focused lifestyle brand.

Developed by Noble Investment Group and managed by McKibbon Hospitality.
The 2025 class was equally strong. The Ann Savannah, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy opened February 2025 as the first Apartments by Marriott property on the U.S. mainland — 157 apartment-style suites with full kitchens, in-unit washers and dryers, and the Little James Mediterranean bistro in Yamacraw Village. AC Hotel Savannah Historic District opened April 2025 at 601 E River Street with 170 rooms and Lavender Rooftop Kitchen & Bar overlooking the water. Municipal Grand opened July 2025 in a reimagined 1961 bank building at Broughton and Abercorn — 44 rooms from the founders of Death & Co, with the Municipal Bar cocktail restaurant, the Sun Club rooftop pool, and the subterranean Hot Eye. And Element Savannah Midtown opened January 2025 near Oglethorpe Mall with 113 kitchen-equipped rooms and a cooked-to-order Rise breakfast — the strongest value option outside the Historic District.
Out at Exit 94 off I-95, Holiday Inn Express Savannah Gateway opened December 2025 — a new-build four-story property with 104 rooms about 15 minutes from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and 20 from the squares, with a companion TownePlace Suites Savannah Gateway alongside it for longer stays.
One Savannah property now sits just outside our two-year window but remains the most celebrated hotel the city has ever had. Hotel Bardo Savannah opened February 2024 on Forsyth Park, converting a 19th-century Southern Gothic mansion into a two-acre urban resort, and was named best new hotel by Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and Southern Living in a single year. Its 149 rooms and 50 suites surround a 25-meter pool, with Saint Bibiana for coastal Italian, the Saltgrass spa, and Club Bardo — Savannah's first private members' social club.
The pipeline ahead is remarkable. Recess Hotel & Club targets September 2026 with a retro-futurist design and Rumpus Rooms on every floor. The Ritz-Carlton Savannah, Downtown — Georgia's first — broke ground in April 2026 on a 168-room conversion of the historic Savannah Skyscraper at 2 E. Bryan Street, with a rooftop bar and pool, a 5,000 sq ft spa, and 20 branded residences next door, targeting the first quarter of 2028. And the $398 million Signia by Hilton Savannah broke ground October 2025 on Hutchinson Island — 444 rooms, a 13,000 sq ft ballroom, and a rooftop pool over the river, targeting mid-2028 as the city's convention headquarters hotel. Whether you're planning a weekend in Savannah's Historic District, a culinary escape, a SCAD arts visit, or a special occasion, we keep this page updated so you always know the newest places to stay in Savannah.

Tempo by Hilton Savannah Historic District opened in April 2026 as the first Tempo by Hilton property in Georgia.

The Ann Savannah, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy opened February 2025 in the Yamacraw Village area of the Historic District, and it carries a genuine distinction: it's the first Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy property on the U.S. mainland. The 157 units sit inside a sustainable heavy-timber building with loft-style exposed beams, columns, and high ceilings. Suites range from studios to a premium four-bedroom, and every one includes a full kitchen with refrigerator, stovetop, dishwasher, and cookware, plus an in-unit washer and dryer and a separate living area. Little James, the on-site Mediterranean bistro, serves breakfast through dinner and works as a café by day and a cocktail bar by night. There's also a 24-hour fitness center, a seasonal outdoor pool, and complimentary bicycles. It's the smartest choice in Savannah for a stay of several nights or more.
The Historic District is only about a square mile, so almost everything is walkable — the real question is which square you want outside the door. For the riverfront and the action, Tempo by Hilton near Reynolds Square and AC Hotel Savannah on River Street both put you on the water. For shopping and the design-led scene, Municipal Grand sits at Broughton and Abercorn in the middle of the commercial heart. For quiet grandeur and the leafiest version of the city, Hotel Bardo anchors Forsyth Park at the southern end. For a longer stay or a family that wants a kitchen, The Ann Savannah in Yamacraw Village is the practical answer. And if you're happy to drive ten minutes, Element Savannah Midtown near Oglethorpe Mall runs well below downtown rates.
Three significant projects are in the pipeline. Recess Hotel & Club targets September 2026 with a retro-futurist design and its signature Rumpus Rooms — communal spaces on every floor built to encourage guests to actually meet each other.

Bryan Street into a 168-room hotel with a rooftop bar and pool and a 5,000 sq ft spa — the first Ritz-Carlton in Georgia.
