The upper floors were added 37 years later, and in the lower levels of the River Street Inn, one can actually see the foundations of Savannah. The inn uses the peculiarity of the architects' design. It has five stories topped by a glass atrium, and three levels of the inn contain 44 guest rooms. Three-quarters of these overlook the river, a fine vantage point for holiday fireworks, the revelry of St. Patrick's Day, or for watching the parade of foreign ships pass to and from Savannah's port. Many of the rooms have French-style balconies that are ideal for sharing a nightcap and watching the lights on the river.
Guest rooms are varied to meet the needs of vacationers or business travelers.
Upper-level rooms have unusually long windows, a throwback to the days before universal electricity, when the factors needed as much light as could be gathered. These windows offer a splendid view of the river, the promenade and Hutchinson Island. Each room has a full, private bath, satellite television and individual thermostats. Corporate clients may use the inn's conference space, fax and copy services, and secretarial assistance is available. Continental breakfast is offered in the morning.
