ATLANTA—Noble Investment Group has opened the 252-room Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District located at 201 West Bay St. in Savannah, GA.
Managed by IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), the hotel is situated in the former Guckenheimer tobacco warehouse and grocery, a nationally registered landmark built in 1850. The hotel is located in the neighborhood of City Market at Ellis Square.
“This boutique hotel delivers a truly authentic local experience inspired entirely by the very community that surrounds it,” said Kellie Lindner, general manager. “You will taste the local flavor on our menus and see it in the art and photography displayed on our walls. You will catch guests and neighbors hanging out in our bars and get great advice from our team members on the many things to see and do in our wonderful community.”
According to Noble, the building was returned to its original historic shell, preserving century-old materials and historic details including exposed brick and unearthed structural timber beams which are visible throughout the property. Students at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) submitted art pieces to be featured in the hotel, and the winning piece is displayed in an art installation on the east end of the building. Local artist Meryl Turret designed the guestroom murals which showcase historic bottles that were unearthed in the area, and each room also features watercolor pieces that highlight the original market building. There are also several additional murals throughout the hotel, which are replications of original advertisements from the Guckenheimer warehouse and market.
Guestrooms feature plush bedding, hard-surface flooring with area rugs and spa-inspired bathrooms. The property also includes a 24-hour fitness center and 6,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space. Dining options include The Five Oaks Taproom restaurant, offering breakfast and dinner. The restaurant serves locally inspired dishes with ingredients sourced from within 90 miles of Savannah, whenever possible, according to Noble.
