McKibbon Hospitality has secured the management contract for the Tempo by Hilton Savannah (Ga.) Historic District, which broke ground in November 2023 and is anticipated to open in 2025.
Tempo by Hilton Savannah Historic District is McKibbon’s second managed Tempo by Hilton property, joining the Tempo by Hilton Raleigh Downtown which opened in December, and the company’s fifth managed property in the city, joining Hampton Inn Savannah-Historic District and Holiday Inn Express-Savannah Historic District on Bay Street, as well as Residence Inn Savannah Downtown/Historic District and TownePlace Suites Savannah Midtown.
“McKibbon has been woven into the fabric of the Savannah hospitality community for more than 20 years now, and it’s a market we love doing business in,” Bruce Baerwalde, president of McKibbon Hospitality, said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more pleased to add Tempo by Hilton Savannah Historic District to our managed portfolio and continue growing with this innovative new lifestyle brand from Hilton.”
Located within walking distance of Savannah’s River Street, Tempo by Hilton Savannah Historic District will include Peloton suites, a Bluestone Lane Café and a rooftop bar with views of the Savannah River. The Savannah Historic District Board has collaborated on the design of the LEED-certified hotel, ensuring the façade reflects the historic district’s character and heritage.
McKibbon Hospitality will operate the hotel and establish the property’s leadership team.
