JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District
Savannah, Georgia, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.4/10 Exceptional · guest rating
Luxury hotel in a former power plant on the Savannah River, with a spa, 12 restaurants, a rooftop terrace and River Street a minute away on foot.
The JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District occupies a historic industrial building, a former power plant from the early twentieth century, and anchors an entertainment district on the Savannah River. The architecture keeps its industrial character, including brick and high ceilings, alongside modern lounges and rooms. It is steps from River Street, so you can set out along the riverfront on foot.
The complex brings together 12 restaurants, cafes, three bars, a rooftop terrace, an art gallery and design shops. There is also a spa, a 24-hour fitness center, concierge service and meeting rooms. Pets are accepted. Confirm restaurant hours and live-music venues with the hotel, as they can vary by day. If you are traveling with pets or a group, ask about terms and permitted sizes.
Why stay here
- Former power plant turned luxury hotel
- River Street and City Market a few minutes on foot

The setting
The hotel stands on the riverfront, in a very lively area that mixes history, dining and entertainment. The photos show an outdoor patio, a rooftop terrace, a grand entrance hallway and modern rooms with roomy beds and up-to-date bathrooms. Upper-floor rooms with river views offer a more open outlook. It is a lively setting, ideal if you want everything close at hand, though not if you are after total quiet.
