The Manger Building is a commercial building in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located on East Congress Street at its intersection with Bull Street, in the southeastern residential/tything block of Johnson Square, it is part of the Savannah Historic District. The building was completed in 1913 as the Savannah Hotel, replacing the demolished Hotel Screven.[1][2]

The building was designed by W. L. Stoddart in the Beaux-Arts style.[3][4] When it opened in 1913 (with Geo L. Albea as manager),[5] the hotel had 200 rooms, with another 100 rooms in a 1921 addition.[6] After the Savannah Hotel became the Manger Hotel, it became known as Savannah's "finest place for hospitality." Its rooftop Purple Tree Lounge was also popular.[7]

Its use as a hotel ended in 1977, and it was converted to office space in 1985.[8]

A renovation of the building, by Left Lane Development, becoming the flagship property of Recess Hotel & Club, was expected to be completed in 2026. It will include 221 rooms.[9]
