USA | Construction has begun on Hilton's latest development, Signa by Hilton Savannah, set to be completed by mid-2028.
The Savannah-Georgia Convention Centre Authority and global hospitality leader Hilton have broken ground on the 444-room Signia by Hilton Savannah, expected to debut in mid-2028. Owned by SGCCA and developed in partnership with the Georgia World Congress Centre Authority (GWCCA), which also manages the Savannah Convention Centre, the hotel will serve as the Savannah Convention Centre's headquarters hotel and will be managed by Hilton.
Following the highly successful 2024 opening of Signia by Hilton Atlanta, Signia by Hilton Savannah builds on the brand's Georgia expansion and will bring a premier hotel directly to the convention centre's growing riverfront campus. The property marks the debut of Hilton's approachable luxury meetings-and-events-focused brand in Savannah and is poised to redefine the guest experience for both leisure and business travellers.
"Today is a grand day for Savannah, Chatham County, and the State of Georgia," said SGCCA Board Chairman Mark Smith.
"This hotel will ensure that our Convention Centre will perform at maximum capacity, augmenting our vibrant tourism industry and creating upward mobility and prosperity for all."
"Signia by Hilton Savannah's signing and groundbreaking represents an integral milestone as we continue to expand our presence across Georgia, where Hilton currently welcomes travellers at approximately 270 hotels," said Amy King, vice president, luxury & mixed-use development, Hilton.
"We are honoured to partner with Savannah-Georgia Convention Center Authority to introduce the city's first Signia property in the heart of Low Country and contribute to the city's continued tourism growth."
Songy Highroads and Matthews Southwest Hospitality are co-developers of Signia by Hilton Savannah. The property will offer more than 34,000 square feet of world-class meeting space, which includes a 13,000 square foot ballroom, five food and beverage outlets, an outdoor pool and Club Signia, a premium offering for guests that elevates the entire stay. The hotel reflects the Signia brand's signature blend of modern elegance, elevated amenities, and seamless service. It will be directly connected to the convention centre, offering guests immediate access to one of the Southeast's most dynamic venues for meetings, conferences, and exhibitions.
"Breaking ground on our second Signia by Hilton in Georgia marks a defining step forward for the brand's growth in the Southeast," said Meghan Fitzgerald, brand leader, Signia by Hilton.
"Savannah's rich heritage and vibrant energy make it an ideal setting for this elevated hospitality experience. With premium amenities and tailored spaces for meetings and events, Signia by Hilton Savannah will deliver a uniquely refined stay for business and leisure guests alike."
