Chatham Crescent, GA

Savannah

This area was first developed in 1910, but most homes were built in the 1930s and 1940s. The neighborhood is considered one of the most affluent within city limits by local residents.

Marketed as Chatham Crescent by Granger’s Chatham Land and Hotel Company, the Granger Tract took its design from the Beaux Arts plan popular at the time. At various points in the neighborhood, city blocks were punctuated with 1-acre (4,000 m2) circles (named for city and county officials), a crescent-shaped street, and a landscaped mall.

At the end of the palmetto-lined mall stretching between Maupas Avenue to 47th Street was to be the centerpiece of Chatham Crescent – a magnificent tourist facility called the Hotel Georgia. The Spanish Revival-style hotel was designed by noted architect Henrik Wallin, who assisted Henry Bacon with New York’s Astor Hotel. Apparently the developers hoped that wealthy Northerners would check into what was to be a luxurious hotel and decide to purchase a second home in Chatham Crescent. Unfortunately, the hotel encountered numerous problems and barely got off the ground. 

Eventually, Savannah High School (now the Savannah Arts Academy) was built on the nearly eight acres of land set aside for the hotel.

Great location near the waterfront; valet parking only ($48 plus tip), although there are other public parking garages for more or less the same price. The rooms are very nice, clean, you’ll get two welcome drinks at the bar. Can’t beat the location; would book again!

The sink in our room was clogged with throw up from the previous group. Not sure how the cleaning staff didn’t see that especially since we did a later than normal checkin…..no rush on our room. Additionally the barf made the roof stink which never seemed to clear.
