The unique architecture can be credited to the property’s previous adventure of being Savannah’s 1912 power plant. Which has now been repurposed as a Riverside retreat that maintains its spunky character, making it a unique feature of Savannah Riverside.

Some of the fascinating features of the hotel include a 135-foot chrome dinosaur, different kinds of fossils, an inspiring art gallery, and numerous multi-use spaces. The rooftop bar overlooks the river and has a slide that guests can use to get to the lower level.
