March 15, 2024 – The luxury hotel developer behind River Street’s Plant Riverside and The Bohemian recently acquired the more modest Foley House Inn in the heart of Savannah’s downtown Historic District. Overlooking Chippewa Square at 14 West Hull St., the historic 19-room hotel was purchased by Orlando, Fla.-based The Kessler Collection for about $7 million earlier this month, according to sales records.
The historic building was constructed in 1896 and is a contributing structure within the Historic District, according to the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Early last year, planned improvements to stop water intrusion issues were approved by the Historic District Board of Review.
The company’s acquisition of the inn comes after the Kessler Collection sold The Mansion in Forsyth Park for $52.5 million in 2022 to New York-based hotel developer Left Lane. In addition, the company’s CEO Richard Kessler, purchased purchased the downtown mansion at 26 East Gaston St. for $4.75 million through a limited liability corporation last year, as previously reported.
