The Alida, Savannah, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Character and identity

The Alida occupies a converted warehouse on Savannah's riverfront, with exposed brickwork, contemporary glass and steel, and mid-century accents pulling the architecture into the present. The lobby sets the tone: clean lines, tasteful mid-century furniture, and a stylish-but-relaxed register. Across 173 rooms with either city or pool views, the design language is residential and modern, with wooden floors that nod to the building's industrial past. Rhett handles the food with Southern brunch classics and seafood-driven dinners; the Trade Room mixes serious craft cocktails in an Art Deco setting; and a rooftop pool with cabanas and The Lost Square bar capitalises on the views.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The draw here is design and value: a 2018-opened warehouse conversion that delivers genuine style, a strong cocktail and brunch programme, and a rooftop pool at a rate that undercuts comparable riverfront options. Book a Pool View room over the entry-level City View King if the rooftop scene appeals, and target shoulder-season weekends when Savannah's rates soften.
