A Taste Of The Highlife

At the top of The Municipal Grand is a space that feels a little different from the rest of the city. The Sun Club, the hotel’s rooftop pool and lounge, was designed as a place to slow down. It takes the mid-century lines of the building and softens them with greenery, striped loungers, and the shimmer of water. The result is a retreat that feels private, even while it looks out across Savannah.

A Nostalgic Approach to Poolside Relaxation

The idea behind The Sun Club is simple: create a pool deck that feels like an escape, but keep it rooted in the relaxed spirit of the hotel. There’s a touch of Palm Beach in the loungers, a nod to mid-century style in the shapes and materials, and a lot of Savannah in the atmosphere. Enshrouded in tropical greenery, the rooftop feels sheltered, even as the city spreads out below.

For Guests Only

Unlike many rooftop pools that double as public venues, The Sun Club is reserved solely for guests of The Municipal Grand. That sense of privacy changes the pace. It’s not a place where crowds gather, but somewhere you can settle in with a book, take a casual dip, or simply sit back and watch the light shift across the city.

Service is available from mid-morning until late afternoon, keeping the rhythm unhurried. A drink here feels less like ordering at a bar and more like extending the day just a little longer.

Views Above the City

Part of the pleasure of The Sun Club is the vantage point it offers. From the rooftop you can see the patterns of Savannah’s streets, the tree canopy that gives the city its shade, and the outlines of its historic buildings. At sunset, the view becomes softer still, the skyline edged with warm light.

It’s an easy reminder that Savannah is a city best experienced slowly.

Part of the Municipal Grand Story

The Sun Club isn’t a standalone feature—it’s part of what makes The Municipal Grand different. The hotel was created as both a starting point and a place of rest, and the rooftop fits naturally into that idea. After a morning of walking the squares or exploring River Street, the pool offers balance: a calm space to pause, surrounded by the same attention to detail you’ll find in the rooms below.

The Sun Club is open exclusively to guests of The Municipal Grand. We invite you to enjoy it as part of your stay — a rooftop retreat where the pace of Savannah slows to meet your own.
