Municipal Grand, the first hotel under cocktail-forward lifestyle hotel brand Midnight Auteur, has officially opened in Savannah, Georgia.
The boutique hotel launched within Savannah’s North Historic District at the First Federal Savings and Loan Association building, which was revamped by Canadian interior design firm AAmp Studio in collaboration with Lynch Associates Architects and local preservation experts Ward Architecture and Preservation, according to a release obtained by Hotel Dive.
Central to the 44-key Municipal Grand is its cocktail-driven lobby bar and restaurant, Municipal Bar — a signature element of the Midnight Auteur brand, which launched in March 2024 as the brainchild of the founders of the Death & Co. cocktail brand and The Ramble Hotel in Denver.
Carrying Midnight Auteur’s cocktail-forward ethos into the guest rooms, each one includes a marble-top arched millwork minibar stocked with curated spirits, coffee and teas and glassware.
