About
About The Thunderbird Inn Savannah
A retro icon steps boldly into modern Savannah.
The Thunderbird Inn is a Savannah original that refuses to fade into the background. Painted in bold colors and flashing with vintage neon, the hotel embraces its mid-century roadside motel roots while giving travelers the essentials for a comfortable stay. Step into a room and find classic 1960s flair paired with modern must-haves: flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning keep the vibe nostalgic without compromising convenience.
Guests are greeted not with bland formality but with a box of MoonPies and bottles of RC Cola, a nod to Southern sweetness with a wink of humor. Morning brings Krispy Kreme doughnuts, delivered fresh daily, the kind of breakfast that makes sense when paired with a stroll through Savannah’s sun-dappled squares. Parking is complimentary, pets are welcome, and the 24-hour front desk keeps the retro lights glowing long after the city’s cobblestone streets quiet down.
This property is more than a hotel—it’s a Savannah landmark with personality. Whether staying one night or several, The Thunderbird Inn offers a stay that feels rooted in history yet entirely present.
