Elegant guest lobby at Sabal House Inn in Savannah's Historic District, featuring coastal-inspired decor, a textured oyster shell wall, and luxurious lounge seating.

The Making of Sabal House

From the beginning, Sabal House was imagined as a quieter way to experience Savannah, a place to arrive, find your footing, and become more attuned to the city around you.

That idea is taking shape through architecture, material, and the people behind it, bringing together a new luxury building and the restored Heritage Rooms as one Sabal House.

THE ARCHITECT

Pat Shay

Pat considers how new architecture can sit thoughtfully beside Savannah’s historic fabric, complementing what is already there rather than competing with it.

“Savannah, in many ways, is a conversation with history that’s ongoing.”

THE DESIGNER

Maria Gossett

Maria draws from Savannah’s living, organic character, carrying the calm of the natural landscape into the interiors and allowing the city’s natural story to continue from outside in.

“When you step into the building, you have this overwhelming sense of calm that really only nature can give you.”

THE STEWARD

Angela King

Angela brings a deeply personal point of view to Sabal House, rooted in family, preservation, and the feeling of creating somewhere that feels immediately familiar.

“It’s a slower pace. It’s a comforting feeling. It’s a warmth that is indescribable.”
