For Hotel Bardo’s first location and Savannah flagship, no detail was spared. The adaptive reuse of an 1889 Victorian-Romanesque mansion became the backdrop to a new destination blending the perks of a private fraternity with resort-like comforts.

Combining a 149-room boutique hotel with an exclusive neighborhood clubhouse, Hotel Bardo Savannah honors the building’s antique character while mixing styles from various eras and destinations together. Highlights include upholstery with Art Moderne lines, Italian modern case goods and Art Deco-inspired chandeliers. “We believe design can influence behavior,” says Huxley Hogeboom, executive vice president of design for Left Lane, the firm behind the emerging hospitality brand. Be sure to also explore the verdant gardens framing a lush courtyard punctuated by an 82-foot-long pool.
