This is a high-rise resort with more amenities than any other property in the area—tennis courts, a full-service spa, and a golf courses. Overlooks Hutchinson Island, there is a five minute water taxi from River Street and just a short drive over the Talmadge Bridge.
Adjacent is the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center is what keeps the hotel at high-occupancy levels almost year-round, because many meeting attendees stay here; vacationers predominate on the weekends. The Savannah Harbor Golf Course is open to the public and is the best bet for golfers staying in the Historic District.
Ferries depart every 15 or 20 minutes, with the last one heading for the island at midnight.
Room options range from the standard Traditional room all the way up the line to a Champion’s Suite must call to request this palatial suite. Each room blends modern minimalist design with traditional Southern accents. We slept well on the trademark Westin Heavenly bed, enfolded in gentle sheets and downy cushioning a top a lux pillowtop mattress.
But arguably the best pool in Savannah, it overlooks the Savannah Harbor. There is plenty of splashy play area for the kids, while we decompress with a well-crafted cocktail and light bites from the poolside bar and grill.
