To commemorate the grand opening of Georgia’s first hotel, which officially opened its doors in December, the Cambria Hotel Savannah Downtown Historic District welcomed community members and distinguished guests to a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Speakers at the event included Janis Cannon, senior vice president, Upscale brands, Choice Hotels, Savannah city officials, and Lois Model, Executive Director at Savannah Center for Blind and Low Vision, who each expressed their enthusiasm about the brand’s debut in Georgia.
“Known for its hospitality, innovative history, and vibrant culture, Savannah is a corporate, entertainment and industrial hub,” said Janis Cannon. “At Cambria Hotels, our expansion stays focused on growth in markets with strong business and leisure demand. This makes Savannah the ideal spot to debut the Peach State’s first Cambria. We’re proud to welcome guests to yet another brand-defining property in our growing lineup of Cambria hotels nationwide.”
