A Historic Landmark Surrounded by Attendee Experiences

Situated across the Savannah River from the Savannah Convention Center expansion is iconic River Street in the Historic Landmark District, the heart of classic Savannah. River Street is a popular spot for locals and meeting and convention attendees. The sight of the cargo ships and the sound of their horns create a setting unlike any other. The historic street paved with cobblestones from around the world has lined the waterway for more than 200 years and is home to more than 75 boutiques, galleries, artist studios, restaurants and pubs, all housed in once warehouses. Many of the restaurants serve fresh seafood and can accommodate groups. For evening adventures post-meeting, attendees can sip and socialize under the stars on rooftops along the street.

For attendees needing mobility accommodations, there are several alternative access points to River Street, including an ADA-accessible outdoor elevator and ramps.

River Street Accommodations

Just to the west is Plant Riverside District, one of Savannah's premier entertainment districts filled with shopping, music and 14 different dining spots and proximity to nightlife hot spots. Home to the luxurious JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District, this 419-room property encompasses three unique buildings offering different styles: maritime details in the Atlantic, romantic styling in the Three Muses and historic chic architecture in the Power Plant, a former Georgia Power plant that still includes the old smokestack, which now houses a private dining room for intimate gatherings. The hotel’s event space totals 18,050 square feet.

The 351-room Hyatt Regency Savannah is also right by River Street, putting your attendees steps away from shopping, dining and nightlife and giving you plenty of room to customize your plans with 33,000 square feet of meeting space.

Another property with convenient access to River Street is The Alida Savannah, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, with 151 individually designed guest rooms, 21 suites and 7,054 total square feet of event space, the largest having the ability to host groups of up to 200.
