ATLANTA, Ga. – Winter Construction will begin mobilizing this month to build a new seven-story boutique hotel in Savannah, Georgia. The new hotel is being developed by RBHD and owned by Rockbridge, and will span an entire city block in the historic River Street district.
The hotel will have seven stories, 173 rooms and 162,000 square feet. The demolition of an existing building on the property will make way for the new hotel. The hotel’s layout includes two levels of parking, five levels of guest rooms, a fitness area, meeting space, a pool, a lobby bar, a restaurant on River Street and a rooftop event space and bar. The architect is Gunn Meyerhoff Shay, and the interior designers are FODA and Parts & Labor.
Winter Construction recently completed a major addition to Chateau Elan in Braselton, Georgia, and is building the AC Hotel in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood. Winter is also building the Hampton Inn & Suites in Dunwoody, Georgia, the Residence Inn in Dunwoody and the SpringHill Suites in Orange Beach, Alabama.
The Historic District of Savannah is known for cobblestone streets, manicured gardens and oak-shaded parks. It is the largest National Historic Landmark District in the United States.
The Savannah Historic District Board of Review approved the hotel development.
According to Winter, completion of the hotel is planned for October 2017.
