Host hotel
Hyatt Regency Savannah — your home on the river.
Set on Bay Street in the heart of Savannah’s historic district, the Hyatt sits directly on the Savannah River with River Street right outside its doors. Walk out for riverboats, waterfront dining, and cobblestone strolls — then come back to a soaring atrium and a cocktail on the patio.
Right on the riverfront
Direct access to River Street and Rousakis Riverfront Plaza. Choose a room with a river or city-skyline view.
Moss + Oak Savannah Eatery
Southern comfort cooking with Savannah-style cast-iron preparation and ingredients from Georgia farms — breakfast, lunch, and dinner with riverfront patio seating.
Moss + Oak Bar
House cocktails made with herbs from the hotel’s rooftop garden, local and regional beers on tap, and patio views of the river.
Indoor pool & fitness
Cool off after sessions in the indoor pool, or keep your routine at the on-site fitness center.
A Savannah landmark
Marble floors, glass elevators, and a towering atrium — a modern icon framed by the history of River and Bay Streets.
Good to know
Check-in 4:00 PM · Check-out 11:00 AM. Valet parking available (currently $50/night for standard vehicles; confirm closer to arrival).
