Honolulu, Miami & Palm Springs are all known for their swanky, high-end hotels. This year Savannah is cozy'd up with these cities on the Conde Nast Traveler 2009 Hotel Hot List. The must-visit hotels in the US are highlighted & includes the recently opened 151 room boutique, AVIA. (SEE THE LIST)

Overlooking the fantastic redevelopment of Ellis Square & in the heart of the entertainment & historic district, I've been told they've had better than forcasted occupancy rates.  

Wichita, Kansas based LodgeWorks, L.P., AVIA's parent company, has plans for the brand in 3 other locations this year (Napa, The Woodlands & Long beach).(Avia Hotels)

Savannah is often on Conde Nast's other lists, (2007 Top Ten, Reader's Choice, 2009 Gold List, etc.)...Another in the long list of reasons for a prosperous future for commercial real estate in Savannah.  In September '08, Smith Travel Research reported 24 hotels & 2600 rooms in some phase of construction or planning in the Savannah area.
