Construction has started on a new 444-room Signia by Hilton hotel next to the Savannah Convention Center, with plans for it to open in May 2028. This development comes after 15 years of delays and three failed attempts to build the hotel due to financing and market issues. Previously, the only hotel within walking distance was the 403-room Westin Savannah Harbor, which opened in 1999. The recent $276 million expansion of the convention center created urgency for additional accommodations, as local planners reported lost bookings due to a lack of nearby hotel rooms. The hotel aims to enhance Savannah’s appeal as a conference destination.
