Embassy Suites by Hilton Savannah

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.

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.
