Thompson Savannah — Photo by Hyatt

Thompson Savannah, scheduled to open in summer 2021, will bring together the city's colorful past and exciting present with design that combines historic architectural details and contemporary flair. Developed by Atlanta-based Regent Partners as part of the mixed-use Eastern Wharf project—adjacent to the city's historic center and on the banks of the Savannah River—the 193-room property is being designed by Dallas-based firm Studio 11 and will include 21 suites with wraparound balconies. From the parquet tile flooring of the lobby to the use of rich jewel tones and botanical patterns throughout both the common areas and guest rooms, the hotel's design will be inspired by the endemic flora of a city famous for its many green spaces, while staying true to the mid-century modern aesthetic that has become a signature of the Thompson Hotels brand.

The property will feature a lobby bar and lounge, a three-meal restaurant and a rooftop bar with an outdoor area overlooking the city skyline. A grand staircase in the lobby will connect guests to a sprawling pool deck featuring a lap pool, fire features, and private daybeds and cabanas. In the guest rooms, focal oversized art pieces over the headboards will feature local artists, as part of a program developed in conjunction with the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Spacious walk-in showers, residential-style vanities and chaise lounges will give the rooms a luxurious feel. Meeting and events spaces will include two meeting rooms, a boardroom, a divisible ballroom and a poolside living room with an exterior patio.
