Tucked along the sparkling Savannah River, the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District is where Southern charm meets next-level luxury. Once an industrial powerhouse, the Power Plant has been reborn as Savannah’s boldest riverside retreat, where soaring architecture, eclectic restaurants, art galleries, and even a chrome dinosaur set the stage for adventure. The Three Muses brings polished marble and European elegance with a playful twist—boutique shopping by day and the secret Myrtle & Rose Rooftop Bar by night. Meanwhile, the Atlantic channels the spirit of a luxury yacht, from live performances at District Live to the dramatic Salzburg Ballroom, where velvet drapes recall the sails of ships that first reached Savannah in the 1730s. Together, these three spaces create one extraordinary destination that blends history, culture, and next-level luxury.

Needed a weekend away from the hustle and bustle. I got a river view suite with a balcony and it was amazing. It rained most of the time but we were able to relax and watch the big container ships come and go. Every employee was so nice and helpful. The room was spotless.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and get a river view room.
