The Drayton Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton
Savannah, Georgia, United States · Curio Collection · Core Luxury
The Drayton occupies a five-story 1890s brick-and-stone building at Drayton and Bay, beside Savannah's gold-domed City Hall, that once housed the American Bank and Trust Company. Two separate three-story buildings were joined in the 1930s; a 2019 restoration kept the 19th-century exterior and gave the 50 rooms interiors by New York firm Marzipan, with St. Neo's Brasserie downstairs and the rooftop Pendant Terrace looking over City Hall and the Savannah River. It joined Hilton's Curio Collection in August 2023, the brand's first address in Savannah.

History
The Drayton Hotel sits at the corner of Drayton and Bay streets in the heart of Savannah's Historic District, adjacent to the city's gold-domed City Hall. The five-story brick-and-chiseled-stone building dates to the 1890s and once housed the American Bank and Trust Company; originally two separate three-story buildings, they were combined into a single structure in the 1930s.
A seasoned developer carried out a careful restoration that preserved the 19th-century exterior, teaming with the New York-based design firm Marzipan on interiors celebrating the first half of the 20th century. The building reopened as The Drayton Hotel in 2019 as a boutique property of about 50 rooms.
The hotel joined Hilton's Curio Collection on 1 August 2023, the brand's first address in Savannah, and now participates in Hilton Honors.
