Fodor's Expert Review The Alida, Savannah, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
412 Williamson St., Savannah, Georgia, 31401, USA
A newer addition to Savannah's Riverfront, the Alida collaborated with the Savannah College of Art and Design to create the industrial-meets-mid-century-modern vibe that's peppered with vibrant original, local artwork. Guest rooms are equipped with a window seat, honor bar, 60-inch flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and handmade bathrobes; other options include a corner suite or studio, or the hotel's 2,700 square foot penthouse, complete with a private wraparound balcony. Take a swim in the outdoor pool; work out in the 24-hour fitness center, equipped with Peloton bicycles, virtual programming, free weights and yoga mats; or shop local wares in the 24-hour Keep Shop. There are also several dining options: Rhett, offering upscale Southern dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner; The Lost Square rooftop bar with a stellar view of the Savannah River; The Trade Room, an industrial-chic coffee and cocktail bar; and the waterside Pool Bar, serving craft cocktails and nibbles.
