Midcentury cocktail clubhouse
The 1960s bank runs like a lively cocktail club, with all-day drinks downstairs and a guest-only rooftop pool above.
“Its midcentury modern decor honors the building’s era with preserved original elements, like gray granite walls and blue mosaic tiles, mingling with modern touches.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Guestrooms come in eleven different configurations, all featuring hand-cut tile, hardwood flooring, custom millwork, and a well-appointed in-room café and bar.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Reynolds Square sits just around the corner, and century-old Leopold's Ice Cream is directly across Broughton Street.

The rooms
Arched millwork minibars are stocked with full-size spirits, and bathrooms have curved showers lined in Moroccan tile.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The sixth-floor heated pool is lined with striped loungers looking out toward the Talmadge Memorial Bridge.
At the table
Municipal Bar serves coastal plates along a curved lobby counter, and basement den The Hot Eye mixes cocktails late.
True to the building’s bones, the design is midcentury but without going overboard—curved walls, headboards, and furniture, handsome dark wood banquettes, lots of terrazzo, and walls clad in blue tile.
How it began
The 1961 modernist landmark originally opened as a savings bank, then served for decades as Savannah's municipal offices.
