Perched gracefully on Chippewa Square, The Jules stands as an embodiment of Savannah’s timeless charm. As you approach the hotel’s historic facade, you are instantly transported back in time to the genteel era of the 19th Century. This meticulously restored edifice exudes grandeur and history, making it the ideal gateway to Savannah’s enchanting past.
Chippewa Square, located right in the center of Savannah’s Historic District, is one of the city’s most iconic squares. This square gained fame as the setting for Forrest Gump’s memorable bench scenes. The Jules’ location makes it the most centrally located luxury vacation rental in the city, placing its guests just steps away from award-winning restaurants, live theater, quirky coffee shops, film and music festivals, the St. Patrick’s Day parade, boutique shopping, most SCAD facilities, and even a luxurious day spa.
The Jules was established in 2019 and is a family-owned and operated historic mansion offering six exquisitely appointed luxury suites, each promising a unique Savannah experience. The hotel underwent a comprehensive renovation approved by the National Park Service and the State of Georgia, preserving its historical significance. The building was originally constructed for Julius and Madalena Koox circa 1870, and the name “Jules” and the “JKs” in the logo pay homage to Julius’ memory.
These suites provide residential accommodations, including well-appointed kitchens, elegant bathrooms with walk-in showers, elevator access, and spacious living areas equipped with all the modern amenities needed for a restful stay. Each suite is lavishly furnished and includes luxurious linens, towels, and bathrobes, along with smart 55″ TVs and high-speed WiFi internet.
I personally stayed in the spacious Pearl Suite at The Jules. Spanning 894 square feet, the Pearl Suite is a sophisticated one-bedroom suite boasting a queen bed and captivating views of Chippewa Square. The bedroom in the Pearl Suite serves as a tranquil oasis, with a plush king-sized bed adorned with fine linens, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece of design, featuring a spacious walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub, offering a luxurious space for unwinding in style. The suite also features 12-foot ceilings, dining seating for four, two 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and even a washer and dryer in-suite.
Whether you choose a single suite or the entire mansion, The Jules offers the perfect venue for a vacation, a girlfriend getaway, a celebration, a family gathering, or a corporate rental. Located in in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District, the Jules Hotel serves a fantastic homebase during your Savannah excursion.
The Jules’ commitment to preserving the charm of Savannah’s past while offering modern luxury is a testament to its dedication to providing guests with an unforgettable experience. For those in search of a blend of history, sophistication and a touch of opulence, The Jules at Chippewa Square is the perfect choice for a memorable stay in Savannah.
