Hotel Bardo Savannah is an urban resort on Forsyth Park, set inside and around a 19th-century Southern Gothic mansion at 700 Drayton Street. The two-acre property brings a substantial pool, gardens, restaurants, and a social club into Savannah's Historic District. Its 149 rooms and suites extend the stay beyond the original mansion, while the park-facing address keeps the city's squares and streets close at hand. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and has received a Michelin Key.

Left Lane's design pairs the Victorian-Romanesque exterior with contemporary interiors and work by artists connected to Savannah. Vanessa Platacis's stenciled botanical motifs appear in the club and elevator lobbies. William Sweetlove's sculptures stand beside the pool and garden, while work by Savannah College of Art and Design artists adds to the collection. The art is encountered throughout the property, including on the route upstairs to the club, rather than confined to a separate gallery.
Standard King rooms measure 460 square feet and include a dedicated sitting area for two guests. Standard Double Queen rooms have the same footprint and accommodate four. The 1,125-square-foot Family Terrace Suite has a king bedroom, an ensuite bathroom with dressing space, and a separate bunk room with two twin beds and a powder room. A dining area and terrace complete the four-person layout, with views toward the pool deck and Historic District.
The 1,200-square-foot Bardo Suite takes a different approach. It has one king bedroom for two guests, a separate living room, a dining area, and a full kitchen. Its distinctive 12-foot-high turret holds a large daybed and looks toward Forsyth Park and the Historic District. The kitchen and divided living spaces give this suite a residential character for longer stays. Room amenities include Frette linens and custom artwork.
The heated, 25-meter outdoor pool is reserved for hotel guests and Club Bardo members. Loungers are available on a first-come basis, with cabanas and shaded seating around the water. Guests can swim lengths here before walking out into the surrounding city.
Bar Bibi serves coastal food beside the water, with pizzettas, grilled skewers, salads, and granitas among its choices. The setting draws on Mediterranean poolside dining, and the bar is reserved for hotel guests and club members. Bibi Courtyard has a different access arrangement: it welcomes outside diners and takes reservations, with a menu shared with the pool bar. Bar Bibi operates seasonally; the pool is available throughout the year.
Saint Bibiana occupies the historic mansion and serves coastal Italian cooking under executive chef Jim Anile. House-made pasta anchors a menu with Mediterranean influences, and dining extends outdoors for drinks and meals on the patio. Breakfast, brunch, and dinner give the restaurant a role beyond an evening reservation. It welcomes local diners as well as those staying at Bardo.
For a private gathering, the Billiards Room seats up to 22. This gives a family celebration or rehearsal dinner its own enclosed setting within the restaurant, without requiring a larger hotel event venue.
The Cooking School at Saint Bibiana is a hands-on experience for hotel guests and the public. Classes follow a particular cuisine or technique, with participants preparing several dishes alongside the chefs before sitting down to the meal they have made. Sessions generally last three hours and welcome beginners as well as practiced home cooks. Pasta workshops, market-led cooking, and wine or cocktail classes form part of the program.
Standard cooking classes are for ages 14 and older. Separate children's classes accommodate ages five to 14, with a reservation pairing one child and one parent. Private classes can also be arranged. This is a bookable culinary activity, with its own capacity and timetable, rather than a dining service included automatically in a room stay.
The Green Room is the lobby bar, connected directly to the Courtyard. Coffee and pastries give it a morning role, while cocktails shift its focus later in the day. Its position near the entrance makes it a natural meeting place before heading out, with an easy transition between the indoor lounge and courtyard seating.
Above Saint Bibiana, Club Bardo is a lounge and bar for hotel guests and members aged 21 and older. Local membership brings a regular Savannah audience into the property alongside overnight visitors.
Saltgrass occupies the lower level, combining spa appointments with an indoor fitness center. The treatment menu includes full-body and focused massages, warm-stone massage, facials using CODAGE Paris products, and body scrubs. Infrared-sauna cabin sessions are individually booked, and a steam shower forms part of selected treatments. Sauna sessions and treatments require their own appointments.
Personal training and small-group exercise extend across the resort grounds and into Forsyth Park. Yoga, Pilates, mobility work, and bootcamp-style sessions are among the choices. Guests can use the fitness center for an independent workout or reserve instruction, while the spa also welcomes outside clients by appointment. The indoor gym is reserved for hotel guests and club members.
Camp Bardo runs scheduled activities for younger guests, including art sessions, athletics, and films. Activities follow the published calendar, with participation arrangements specific to each session. Children's cooking sessions provide another shared activity with a parent, while Forsyth Park is close by for time outdoors.
Connecting rooms can be requested, subject to availability. Cribs are also available on request, but the hotel does not provide rollaway beds. The Family Terrace Suite's separate bunk room therefore represents a defined family layout, rather than relying on an extra bed added to a standard room.
The 2,940-square-foot Ballroom accommodates up to 200 guests, while the Carriage House provides a smaller setting for meetings and receptions. Between the Carriage House and Bar Bibi, the Event Lawn brings gatherings outdoors beside the pool. The covered Courtyard adds another sheltered open-air space. The combination supports ceremonies, receptions, and meals across indoor and outdoor settings.
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is the main air gateway. The hotel estimates about 20 minutes by car, with traffic affecting the journey, and can arrange airport transportation. Valet arrival is at 700 Drayton Street. Once here, Forsyth Park is the immediate landmark; River Street and the waterfront are separate destinations reached through the Historic District, not facilities at the hotel's doorstep.
Forsyth Park sits across from the hotel, so a morning walk through Savannah's greenery can start without a drive or taxi.
Saint Bibiana serves house-made pasta in the historic mansion, with a patio for an outdoor meal when Savannah's weather invites it.
The signature Saltgrass massage pairs breathwork with herbal oils, giving you a quiet interlude after a day exploring Savannah’s historic district.
