Mansion on Forsyth Park

My husband is from Savannah, so we are frequent visitors to the city. In the past we’ve always stayed at The Perry Lane Hotel (Marriott Luxury Collection) since we are members. We wanted a location further from the busy downtown area due to the 4th of July holiday and decided to give Hotel Bardo Savannah a try. Overall it was a relaxing and pleasurable three-night stay. The location is quite favorable with direct access to Forsyth Park. The Collins Quarter is a popular local brunch restaurant, and their Forsyth Park outpost is directly across the street from the hotel entrance. It was wonderful to pop out of our room on a Saturday morning and beat the brunch crowds! If you’re a fan of excellent coffee, they also offer coffee and pastry service inside. On days when we rose a little later, this was a nice way to get our quality caffeine fix without relying on the in-room coffee. On the whole, the hotel is convenient to downtown without being in a super hectic area. It was blissfully quiet at night and we felt like we were in our own world while on the property. The room was tastefully decorated with high-quality furnishings that seem as if they would hold up well over time. The style felt like a cross between a traditional luxury property and something like The Standard, with its emphasis on color and playful design. We particularly loved the Mediterranean-inspired pool area and gorgeous tile work in the shower. Service is the only area we felt was a touch lacking. The front desk team and staff at the lobby bar were polite and on-point at all times. Calling Room Service to order ice or drinks to our room was where we ran into issues. The people who answered the phone weren’t accommodating and seemed confused about the nature of their job. I had to leave our room multiple times to obtain drinks, wine, and an ice bucket. That’s less than what I would expect given the price point of our stay. Additionally, poolside service was inconsistent. The gentleman who set up the chairs was aggressively attentive, but it was difficult to flag down a server to obtain water and place a drink order. I would love to see those kinks ironed out a bit more, because in its current form the service made the poolside experience a bit chaotic. Service-related hiccups aside, we really enjoyed our time at Hotel Bardo and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, fun, and relaxing place to stay in Savannah. Despite our love for The Perry Lane, we will certainly be back in the future!

We loved our stay at Hotel Bardo. It was loaded with upside surprises from the quality of the rooms to exceptional and friendly service from the staff. We enjoyed the pool and eating at Bar Bibi. Pricing for food and beverage reflected that of a resort or boutique hotel, but we found it to be very fair especially given its quality. The location in Savannah is terrific. Forsythe Park is enjoyable and the walk downtown is easy. We will return.

We booked for a weekend getaway for our family of four (two older teenagers) and worried about whether the heat of Savannah in July would have made this a terrible choice. The hotel billed itself as an urban resort and it did not disappoint. The beautiful photos on the Internet made me wonder if reality would meet the hype. It did. The food and services in particular exceeded expectations. The employees were really nice and made you feel like they wanted you to truly enjoy your stay. The pool part (essential for these hot humid days) was crowded and I think they will have to balance “club admissions” with guests- but it narrowly worked. We couldn’t get chairs but they had a lawn with really comfortable chairs and umbrellas that kept us happy. There were many cool touches like collabs with Evian to offer afternoon face spritzes or Liquid IV packets offered to day drinkers. They even offered gel eye patches to de puff you. Whoever is running marketing at this place must be both 28 and deserves a raise. It was both creative and appreciated. As I write this (we check out tomorrow), a woman just brought me a sunglasses cleaner wipe. I mean- thoughtful and now I know who to buy packable eyeglass wipes from. We ate at the pool each day and the food was high quality and executed well even during rushes (sudden storm drove many to shelter and lunch). We didn’t book at their restaurant because we wanted to try elsewhere- but I am kind of sorry and hope to come back. The salads were super fresh, the grilled chicken was super high quality. The pizzas were SO good. Three less than stellar comments: 1) the rooms are hip and have nice amenities like Dyson air wraps but you can hear your neighbors and the doors are really banged up. 2) I would like an ice machine but bartenders always got me ice so it worked; and 3) the pool music was bad. We joked that we felt like it was the soundtrack for Love Island. In closing- major props for the staff- especially the lady who ran things at the pool- she was a hustler and kept the staff on point. And thanks to the staff who made us feel like you really did want us to have a great time. That is really rare these days and so noticed.

Hotel Bardo was so chic and interesting. We rode bikes and ate delicious food at the restaurant. Braydon, Carter, and Keith were so helpful at the door getting everything we needed to explore the city! 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing place to stay! Service is beyond!!! Hannah helped us with anything we needed from restaurant recommendations to our car service and just being so kind and helpful! Wonderful trip!!
