The Kimpton Brice Hotel

What The Kimpton Brice Hotel does

The Kimpton Brice Hotel is a 145-room boutique luxury hotel located at 601 East Bay Street in Savannah, Georgia's Historic District, operating within Washington Square steps from River Street. The property, rebranded under the Kimpton brand by IHG in 2015, occupies a historic gray-brick building that originated as a 1860s horse livery and later housed a Coca-Cola bottling plant; it offers 26 specialty suites including the 760-square-foot Juliette Suite, an outdoor pool, fitness center, and complimentary amenities such as evening wine hour and cruiser bike rentals. The hotel has 31 employees listed in the input and is operated as a wholly-owned property within Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, LLC, a subsidiary of IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group, LSE: IHG); on-site operational management is referenced to HEI Hotels & Resorts.

The hotel operates a multi-stream revenue model built around overnight accommodations, food and beverage, and event-driven revenue. Room revenue is complemented by Pacci Italian Kitchen + Bar, which serves breakfast, dinner, and weekend brunch with artisanal cocktails, plus a seasonal Daisy Pool Bar (February through October). Approximately 6,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space — including the Greene room, Griffon, Mercer, Sassafras, Slate, and the Secret Garden courtyard — supports corporate meetings, social events, and weddings, with capacity extended through a partnership with the nearby Charles H. Morris Center (3,600 sq ft ballroom plus 2,400 sq ft outdoor covered space). The hotel also offers full-service wedding packages and curated bachelor/bachelorette experiences.

Distribution runs through IHG's direct booking platforms, IHG One Rewards (a global loyalty program spanning 6,000+ properties), phone reservations, dedicated corporate and wedding sales teams, and implied OTA connectivity. Marketing leverages an integrated mix: a content-rich website (bricehotel.com), Instagram (@BriceHotel), earned media in Travel + Leisure, U.S. News, Fodor's, Condé Nast Traveler, and Southern Living, and the Brice Card local-partner program providing discounts at 20+ Savannah businesses. The hotel has accumulated recognitions including AAA 3 Diamond, U.S. News #6 Best Savannah Hotel (2024), Travel + Leisure World's Best (2024), OpenTable Diners' Choice (2024), Fodor's Choice, and Condé Nast Reader's Choice.
