Room basics to bring
Hyatt Regency Savannah rooms provide standard amenities and free Wi‑Fi, a work desk in most rooms, and on-site dining. Bring items that make an overnight stay more comfortable rather than filling space with duplicates of hotel amenities.

The hotel sits directly on River Street with quick pedestrian access to the riverfront, cobblestones, shops, and restaurants. Plan for comfortable, supportive shoes and weather-appropriate outerwear.
Bring a small daypack for water, sunscreen, and purchases; a reusable water bottle helps while you explore the waterfront and nearby squares.
