Job description

Recess is where the everyday takes a break. Opening in Fall 2026, Recess Hotel & Club is bringing a new kind of hospitality to the heart of Savannah. Housed within the historic Manger Building, Recess blends a 221‑room lifestyle hotel with a members club, rooftop pool, French brasserie, wellness club, coworking spaces, and lively social venues—all designed around one simple idea: life is better when there's room to play.

Recess is the newest project from Left Lane, the team behind Hotel Bardo Savannah. Bardo has earned Condé Nast Traveler’s inaugural Triple Crown distinction, the inaugural Michelin Key designation and recognition from Travel + Leisure as a Best New Hotel of the Year. This commitment to thoughtful hospitality and unforgettable experiences is what we bring to Recess.
