Absolutely great place to spend the day. Go bar hopping. Or rooftops. Great selection of food places. The African restaurant inside the old electrician place is awesome. Lots of places along the River. The Rocks inside the marriot are stunning. The art gallery is awesome too. So much to see. Walk along the River , follow it outside for downtown Savannah. Enjoy the shops. It's a great day.

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere from top to bottom. There is truly something for EVERYONE to do while you're there. I love that there are so many food options in such a compact area, very convenient !

Lots to like here. An assortment of restaurants, bars and shops, with the centerpiece Mariott Hotel and museum-like lobby/atrium. The view of the Savannah River is nice.

This old electrical plant in downtown Savannah has been converted into a first-class hotel and convention center in the heart of the riverfront district in downtown Savannah, Georgia. Visitors can walk through the facility along the riverfront walk to experience all of the local shops along river street. Parking is below level. Once inside the building after parking the entire Savannah waterfront is before you and ready for exploration. Go and enjoy!

Stayed here last night and I'm so glad we are staying another night! I wish I could stay a whole week here, and just live in the room alone. It's noon, and I still haven't left my room yet because it is so quiet, so cozy and so comfy! The decor is fabulous to say the very least. The bed sleeps like a cloud, with it's incredibly soft down comforter! I loved my view of the river, and the two red towers glowing at night. This hotel, is Devine. And the staff has been incredible. I'll never stay anywhere else when I'm downtown! I can't wait to try out the restaurants!

We live in Savannah and love Downtown Savannah. The Plant Riverside District is my favorite. It is decorated with beautiful Christmas lights. There are decorated Kiosks where you have a chance to buy beautiful Christmas gifts. I highly recommend paying a visit to Plant Riverside District.

After a beautiful walk down River Street it ended at Plant Riverside District. Beautiful indoor and outdoor options for food and drinks. There was free love entertainment outside with a band and an aerial arts act. Everything was new, clean and beautiful. Also enjoyed great service and view from the rooftop bar.
We recently stayed a few nights at the JW Marriott that is the focal point of the Plant Riverside District, as it's the historic electric plant being referred to in the word "plant" even though it's now been repurposed into a beautiful hotel. The area runs along River Dr which is an old cobblestone road loaded with lots of restaurants... Many are good, but there are many more that are very "touristy." Then again, the area is loaded with those visiting the area, as well as many locals too. If you're looking for a nice evening out, stop in at the JW Marriott and tour the main level, it's basically a museum, loaded with incredible art from different genres from African to Historic Savannah. Then grab dinner at one of the MANY eateries within this area, owned by the Kessler Group, who owns this Marriott property and finally, hit one of the roof top bars in one of the Marriott buildings. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this area and walked it daily and nightly!

I love this setting! It has so much to offer with outdoor and indoor options. This area is perfect for a leisure stroll for me time or a romantic dinner for two and everything in between. There are high end dining options as well as reasonably priced choices. I enjoyed my time and will be back with friends!

Very cool place inside is a dinosaur exhibit. Outside has lots different places to eat and listen to music

Really awesome setup of restaurants, bars and shops along the river. Plenty of seating and public restroomsz

Plant Riverside District is owned by Marriott. If you're looking for local, this ain't it. The whole complex feels very manufactured, almost like a movie set. It's definitely nice, don't get me wrong. It's like a cruise on land. Everything you could possibly need is in this little district--sushi, Mexican, pizza, seafood, etc. But if you never leave, you won't experience Savannah. We would go to a million other places before we ate again at any of the restaurants at Plant Riverside District. Please don't make the same mistake we did. Go somewhere local!
Beautiful pieces for gifts or for your house.
