Step into a city that’s more than just a meeting destination — it’s an experience. When your meeting attendees walk under a veil of Spanish moss-adorned live oaks, stroll cobblestone streets, taste our award-winning cuisine, immerse themselves in history and experience our authentic Southern hospitality, they’ll be counting down the days until they can return. Not only will your group love Savannah’s charm, but you’ll discover why the coastal city is called a “meeting planner’s paradise.”
Choose from a wide variety of unique venues that exude the spirit of the destination and accommodate groups. It all starts with the Savannah Convention Center, which is doubling in size. The 660,000-square-foot waterfront venue will include 32 total breakout meeting rooms, a partially-covered rooftop patio and a new 40,000-square-foot ballroom.
In Savannah, your planning imagination can also extend beyond the meeting room. Meet in a venue on a bluff overlooking the Savannah River. Host an event aboard a riverboat cruise. Gather for a reception inside the South’s oldest public art museum.
Your attendees can experience plush accommodations at Savannah’s hotels, where on-site amenities go above and beyond the norm. In all, Savannah’s hotels and inns offer more than 14,000 available rooms. The Historic Landmark District boasts top names and boutique stays that put attendees within walking distance of meeting facilities, historic attractions, vibrant restaurants and eclectic shops. Whatever your style or price range, you’ll be sure to find a hotel that’s perfect for your group.
Savannah’s renowned culinary scene enhances the destination’s bucket-list appeal for attendees. The city is home to an array of eateries, from fresh faces to old favorites, that ooze ambiance and serve dishes ranging from the classic Southern favorite, crispy fried chicken, to Low Country cuisine, such as shrimp and grits, oysters and fresh fish. These savory spots offer electric menus and meeting space.
Attendees can indulge in a variety of activities and excursions post-session in Savannah. Plan a walking or biking tour that allows your group to take in the city, a tour of museums and significant sites filled with history or a premium cocktail experience. When the sun goes down, take your group on an off-site scare with ghost tours and haunted pub crawls.
