SAVANNAH, Ga.
Noble Investment Group announced the opening of the 252-room Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District, which is managed by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG).
Located at 201 West Bay Street, the Hotel Indigo sits in the heart of historic Savannah 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, which was once known for its southern charm and as a contemporary hub of commerce for farmers and fishermen.
"We are excited to welcome guests to the Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District in the heart of City Market at Ellis Square,” said Kellie Lindner, general manager. “This boutique hotel delivers a truly authentic local experience inspired entirely by the very community that surrounds it.”
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 various art pieces to be featured in the hotel, and the winning piece is displayed in an art installation in the building.
Local artist Meryl Turret designed the guest room murals which showcase historic bottles that were unearthed in this district of Savannah, and each room also features unique 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.
The hotel also features The Five Oaks Taproom restaurant, offering breakfast and dinner. The restaurant serves locally-inspired dishes and partners with Leopold's Ice Cream, a Savannah staple that opened in 1919, and Savannah Bee Honey and Service Brewing Co., a veteran owned craft brewery.
Guest rooms feature plush bedding, hard-surface flooring with area rugs and spa-inspired bathrooms. Guests also have access to a 24-hour fitness center and 6,000 square feet of flexible event space.
