Project Spotlight — Savannah, GA
VIGO Checks In at Recess Hotel & Club
Inside Savannah's most anticipated lifestyle hotel, VIGO bathroom faucets, frameless pivot shower doors, custom shower towers and accessories give 221 guest bathrooms their hard-working, retro-futurist polish — every fixture specified by architecture and design firm LEFT LANE.
The signature install. A mint terrazzo vanity, matte-black VIGO faucet, and a custom VIGO shower tower behind a frameless pivot glass door — the retro-futurist look LEFT LANE built across every Recess guest bathroom.
At a glance
VIGO supplied bathroom faucets, frameless pivot shower doors, custom shower towers and bathroom accessories for all 221 guest bathrooms at Recess Hotel & Club in Savannah, Georgia. The full package was specified by architecture and design firm LEFT LANE, the developer behind the property.
The Project
A historic Savannah landmark, reborn as a clubhouse for all
Recess Hotel & Club brings new life to Savannah's storied Manger Building at 7 E. Congress Street, in the heart of the city's Historic District. Developed by LEFT LANE — the vertically integrated development, brand and design firm behind the acclaimed Hotel Bardo Savannah — Recess restores the landmark to hotel use as a 221-key lifestyle property, with guest rooms, suites, playful bunk rooms, and a floor-by-floor set of social "Rumpus Rooms."
The concept reads less like a traditional hotel and more like a private clubhouse open to members, locals and travelers alike, layering in co-working spaces, a rooftop pool and bar, a circuit-based spa and fitness club, a two-story event space, and a roster of food-and-beverage venues that includes a classic French brasserie. The design language, developed with collaborators, leans into a "retro-futurist" sensibility — natural materials meeting graphic tile, bold color, and clean modern hardware.
That is exactly the kind of brief where bathroom fixtures stop being an afterthought and become part of the storytelling. For Recess, LEFT LANE turned to VIGO.
The Scope
What VIGO supplied
VIGO outfitted the guest bathrooms with a coordinated package of fixtures and fittings — faucets, shower doors, shower towers and accessories — chosen to survive heavy hospitality use while keeping the look sharp and intentional. The full scope spanned four product categories:
Why It Works
Built for hospitality, styled for the brand
Hotel bathrooms have a brutal job description: they have to look like a magazine shoot and then absorb thousands of guests a year without losing their finish. That dual demand is where a spec-driven package earns its keep. By sourcing faucets, doors, shower towers and accessories from a single brand, LEFT LANE could lock in one cohesive finish story across 221 rooms while streamlining procurement, installation and long-term replacement parts.
The aesthetic payoff is visible in every frame. Matte-black fittings pop against the soft mint terrazzo and the graphic white grid tile; the frameless pivot doors keep sightlines clean and the rooms feeling larger; and the custom shower towers turn an everyday rinse into the kind of rainfall moment guests photograph and remember. It is exactly the "best 40 minutes of the day, extended into a space" feeling Recess is going for.
"The guest bathroom is where a hotel either feels considered — or doesn't. At Recess, VIGO faucets, pivot shower doors and custom shower towers let the design read as one confident, retro-futurist gesture." — VIGO × LEFT LANE — Recess Hotel & Club, Savannah
In use. The shower zone in a Recess guestroom — VIGO's custom shower tower and frameless glass enclosure framed by the property's signature black-and-white grid tile.
