Overview

• Officials held a groundbreaking Wednesday on Hutchinson Island for the hotel immediately west of the Savannah Convention Center.
• Delivery is targeted for May 2028 after a restart led by the Savannah-Georgia Convention Center Authority with partner Songy Highroads following Brookfield’s 2023 exit.
• Backers say the hotel will help the campus host larger, more frequent events by adding a substantial room block next to the existing Westin.
• Planned amenities include five restaurants, a rooftop bar and pool, and a private club under Hilton’s “approachable luxury” Signia brand.
• Leaders cite investor interest and note SEDA bond financing involvement, with about 250 jobs expected once the property opens.
