Boutique hotel in restored 19th-century buildings. Southern charm, modern amenities, and perfect location for exploring Savannah's squares.
Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District occupies restored 19th-century buildings on West Bay Street in Savannah's National Historic Landmark District — the largest urban National Historic Landmark in the United States. The hotel's position on Bay Street places it one block from the Savannah River, within walking distance of River Street's shops and restaurants, the Savannah History Museum, and the city's 22 historic squares, each graced with mature live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Hotel Indigo is part of IHG's boutique lifestyle brand, and the Savannah property incorporates local art, Georgia coastal color palettes referencing tidal marshes and Spanish moss, and architectural details drawn from the surrounding historic fabric. The 252 rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood or large-format tile floors, and locally commissioned artwork throughout. The on-site restaurant and bar serves Southern-influenced American cuisine including shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and a bourbon cocktail program drawing on Georgia and Kentucky producers. A courtyard provides outdoor seating and a gathering space within the hotel's footprint. Savannah's culinary scene extends for blocks in every direction, led by celebrated restaurants such as The Grey in a converted 1938 Greyhound bus terminal, Local 11ten, and Alligator Soul. Forsyth Park's expansive 30-acre garden is about a 20-minute walk south. The hotel is also well-positioned for visiting the Savannah College of Art and Design's galleries, which contribute substantially to the city's creative culture.
