Housed in a grand 19th-century building at 7 Drayton Street in Savannah, The Drayton Hotel Savannah, Curio Collection by Hilton offers a boutique hotel experience with a blend of historic charm and modern comforts. The interiors feature distinctive decor, including wide plank floors and thoughtfully designed rooms that some guests find cozy but well-appointed. While the layout in certain rooms may be unconventional due to the building's adaptive reuse, attention to detail such as Molton Brown toiletries and comfortable bedding gives a refined touch.
The hotel showcases a seafood restaurant, St. Neo's Brasserie, known for its French-inspired menu and oyster bar offerings, providing guests convenient dining on-site. The rooftop terrace is a notable highlight, especially during the daily "golden hour," where complimentary drinks and appetizers are available to guests, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere with skyline views. Additional amenities include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, room service, and pet-friendly policies, although there is no pool or fitness center.
Situated within the historic district, the location is well-suited for visitors looking to explore Savannah’s landmark mansions, lively riverside bars, and nearby attractions including Forsyth Park, The Olde Pink House, and the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, all within walking distance. The proximity to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, approximately a 19-minute drive away, offers convenient access for travelers.
Guest reviews generally praise the attentive and personable staff, with many highlighting the welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service received from check-in to check-out. The rooftop experience and the boutique feel of the hotel are commonly appreciated, though some guests note that rooms can be on the smaller side and that street noise from nearby Bay Street might be a consideration for light sleepers. The Drayton Hotel appeals to visitors seeking a centrally located, historic boutique stay with accessible amenities and local character.
