JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District is worth booking if you want a five-star riverfront base with a spa, pool and the top guest score among our Savannah picks. If the price gap matters to you, our Best Value pick scores only 0.1 lower for well under half the cost.

This is our Luxury pick in Savannah. It suits couples and special-occasion trips where you want full facilities: the property lists a spa, gym, pool, restaurant, garden, terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Opening times and fees for these must be checked for your dates.
Skip it if you are mainly paying for location. Our Best Value pick is also walkable to the historic district and costs far less. Also think twice if fast, smooth service is what you value most, since that is the main complaint here.
Location on West River Street
The address is 400 West River Street, in Historic Savannah. Guests rate the location 9.5 and describe a riverfront position within walking distance of the historic district, shops and dining.
Straight-line estimates from our data: the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is about 1.2 km away, around 15 minutes on foot. Congregation Mickve Israel is 1.4 km, about 18 minutes. Garden City is 6.8 km, roughly 85 minutes on foot, which is far, so take public transport or a taxi there. Walking times have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 338 reviews, joint 2nd of 13 eligible properties and the highest of our three Savannah picks. The review count is the smallest of the three, so the score rests on a smaller base.
Location is the standout point in guest feedback, with the river and the old town close by.
The weak spot is service. Guests generally call the team friendly and helpful, but some report slow service and communication problems. At this price, that is worth weighing. If you have special requests, confirm them in writing before arrival.
Price compared with our other Savannah picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults) put the hotel at €459.74 a night, about €919 for both nights. The sample median was €171.28. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Staybridge Suites Savannah Historic District by IHG, our Best Value pick, was €171.28 a night with a score of 8.8. Best Western Central Inn, our Budget pick, was €94.11 a night with a score of 8.0 and a location outside the centre.
What the extra money buys here is five stars, a riverfront setting and a full set of facilities including a spa and pool. It does not buy a much higher guest score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 13 eligible properties in Savannah. Our Luxury slot gives priority to five-star hotels, and this one holds an official 5-star rating plus the second-best review score in the sample. That combination put it in our three.
