Published on February 10, 2025

Savannah welcomes its first apartment-style hotel today with the grand opening of The Ann Savannah, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy. Nestled in the heart of the Savannah Historic District, this all-suite boutique property offers a refined retreat where modern conveniences meet timeless elegance. Designed for both short and extended stays, The Ann serves as a sophisticated urban haven, inviting travelers to experience the rich culture, history, and charm of one of the South’s most celebrated destinations. As the first mainland U.S. location for Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, The Ann Savannah sets a new benchmark for upscale, residential-style accommodations.

The hotel boasts 157 thoughtfully designed suites, catering to every traveler’s needs. Guests can choose from stylish studio suites to expansive four-bedroom lofts, all offering full-sized kitchens, in-room laundry, and pet-friendly amenities. Blending heritage-inspired elements with contemporary sophistication, The Ann features a heavy timber construction—a first-of-its-kind in the Southeast—celebrated for its sustainable craftsmanship. Rich wood beams, columns, and ceilings enhance the warm, inviting atmosphere, seamlessly merging Savannah’s architectural legacy with modern comfort. Whether visiting for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, The Ann Savannah provides an unparalleled home-away-from-home experience in Georgia’s most historic city.

“We’re thrilled to welcome guests to The Ann as the first Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy property in the mainland United States,” said Christopher Steele, general manager of The Ann Savannah. “With its intentionally designed spaces and prime location, the property offers an exceptional destination where guests can enjoy distinctive hospitality, dining, and memorable experiences in the heart of Savannah.”

Designed to foster social connection and relaxation, upscale features at The Ann include a fitness center bathed in natural light by floor-to-ceiling windows and a pool for leisure guests. Inspired by Savannah’s historic charm, the hotel’s central passageway evokes the city’s cobblestone streets, connecting guests to both the scenic Historic District and surrounding vibrant creative hub. The prime location places world-class dining, iconic attractions, and cultural landmarks within easy reach. Just steps away are celebrated destinations such as the picturesque River Street and heart of downtown Savannah. Guests can easily explore the main campus of Savannah College of Art and Design, access the Savannah Convention Center via a quick water taxi ride three blocks away, or reach the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport with a short 18-minute drive.

Set to open this March, The Ann’s onsite restaurant, Little James, aims to be a favorite among both locals and visitors. It will offer a welcoming space for guests to gather and enjoy an all-day dining experience with a Mediterranean-inspired menu. Little James will open early with breakfast, scratch-baked pastries, and coffee, and remain open until late, serving nightcaps from a carefully crafted cocktail and zero-proof beverage program. For those seeking an inspired place to work, The Malin, an upscale hospitality-driven workspace founded and designed by SCAD alumni, will open across from The Ann.
