What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Rooms are cool and contemporary, but not at all minimal — there’s plenty of color, and the eye can’t help but be drawn to the occasional scarlet or leopard-print chair or sofa.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors open onto Ellis Square, putting City Market's brick walkways and the riverfront a short walk away.
The rooms
Abstract art hangs above the headboards, and patterned accent armchairs bring bold contrast to the tailored, earthy rooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated second-floor pool sits beside private cabanas, and fire pits warm the terrace after dark.
At the table
At 22 Square, dinner brings shrimp and grits with pork belly, and the bar pours cocktails with house-made syrups.
There’s a polished, minimalist vibe to the lobby that will appeal to fashion-conscious travelers, the slight front desk blurring the lines between the public and private spaces.
How it began
The building opened in 2009 as AVIA Savannah, introducing modern glass and steel to the historic district before joining Hyatt.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
