Certares and Clearview Hotel Capital Announce Acquisition of Hyatt Regency Savannah

Certares Real Estate Management LLC and Clearview Hotel Capital LLC have jointly announced the acquisition of the Hyatt Regency Savannah, a full-service hotel featuring 351 rooms, including 31 suites. The deal, which was finalized on July 1, 2026, involves an undisclosed amount and marks a strategic addition to both firms' portfolios in the competitive hospitality sector. The Hyatt Regency Savannah, originally opened in 1981, is strategically located along River Street, providing direct access to the Historic District, a prime destination for both leisure and business travelers.

The Hyatt Regency Savannah boasts over 40,000 square feet of meeting and event space, multiple food and beverage outlets, and a parking garage with a capacity of over 300 vehicles. This extensive amenity offering positions the hotel as a desirable venue for conferences and events, particularly in light of the recent expansion of the Savannah Convention Center, which has bolstered the city's appeal as a meeting destination. The acquisition reflects Certares' commitment to investing in high-quality hospitality assets in markets characterized by strong long-term demand fundamentals.

Savannah has emerged as one of the fastest-growing hospitality markets in the United States, driven by robust leisure travel and expanding group business demand. The city's economic growth is further supported by the Port of Savannah, which has become a critical player in regional development. Certares' Senior Managing Director, Nolan Hecht, emphasized the strategic importance of this acquisition, noting the diverse demand drivers in both leisure and business sectors that make Savannah a compelling market for investment.

The partnership with Clearview Hotel Capital, an experienced player in the Savannah hotel market, is expected to enhance the property's competitive positioning. Clearview's Founder and CEO, Jon Kline, acknowledged the hotel's exceptional location and strong market presence, indicating a shared vision for enhancing the property to meet the needs of both vacationers and business travelers. Plans for investment in guestroom and guest-facing improvements are anticipated to elevate the Hyatt Regency Savannah's status as a leading destination in the Southeast.

This acquisition marks Certares' 17th hotel investment since the launch of its real estate platform in 2021, further expanding its footprint in the hospitality sector. With a portfolio that includes over 4,000 hotel keys across premier travel destinations in the United States, Certares continues to leverage its expertise in the travel and hospitality industries. The transaction underscores the ongoing growth and investment opportunities within the hospitality sector, particularly in markets like Savannah that exhibit strong demand and infrastructure development. As the sector evolves, the focus on high-quality assets in strategic locations remains paramount for investors seeking to capitalize on emerging trends in travel and tourism.
