Located a 15-minute walk from the Historic District, the three-and-a-half-pearl Embassy Suites by Hilton Savannah has an elegant, stylish atmosphere with many
charming Southern accents. All 150 guest rooms are two- or
three-room suites, featuring bedrooms with large ensuite bathrooms,
and adjacent living areas with well-equipped kitchenettes. The free
cooked-to-order breakfasts and evening appetizers draw many guests, and the restaurant and deli, fitness
center, outdoor pool, and 24-hour business center offer good value. Be aware, though, that in-room
Wi-Fi is free only for Hilton HHonors members, but Wi-Fi is free in the public areas. Though classically elegant, this hotel opened its doors at the end of 2013. Travelers looking for a more historic atmosphere could try The Marshall House.
Scene
Bright, elegant lobby with many Southern-style accents
Embassy
Suites by Hilton Savannah occupies a newly constructed building with an attractive
red-brick facade of five stories. Guests are greeted by a bright and
elegant lobby, with high ceilings, tall palm trees, polished marble-tile
floors, and wood paneled pillars. Seating areas are decorated
with many charming Southern-style accents, such as tall windows,
hardwood floors, antique fans, cozy sofas and armchairs, elegant
lamps, and a fireplace. This property attracts mainly leisure
travelers, especially families, who like the quiet location, apartment-style suites, and family-friendly features.
Location
Walking distance from the downtown area
Embassy Suites by Hilton Savannah is located on the edge of Savannah's downtown in an industrial-looking area of warehouses and businesses. It's a short walk to the JMR Transit
Center bus station and the Broughton
Street shopping district. The Historic District is within walking distance
of the hotel as well, along with many tourist attractions. But some guests say they hesitate to walk through the area near the bus station at
night.- Three-minute walk to JMR Transit Center bus station
Rooms
Spacious and elegant two- and three-room suites
All
the 150 rooms at Embassy Suites by Hilton Savannah are two- or three-room suites with ensuite bathrooms and adjacent living areas with kitchenettes.
Bedrooms are decked out in a traditional style, with elegant
dark wood furniture, two-poster beds, and soft beige and
brown tones, with many desk lamps providing mood lighting. Kitchenettes have long, granite countertops, and they come with mini-fridges (but no minibar snacks or drinks), microwaves, sinks,
coffeemakers, and long dark-wood tables that double as dining spaces and desks. Living rooms have pull-out sofas and second
flat-screen TVs (bedrooms also have TVs). Beige-tile bathrooms
are spacious, with large walk-in showers,
granite sink tops, and large mirrors. Three-room suites have two
bedrooms -- one with a king-size bed and the other with two
queen-size beds -- the arrangement is ideal for families and groups traveling together. In-room
Wi-Fi free only for Hilton HHonors members.
