Garden-level rooms (150–200 sqft) are cozy but basement-level — if you want natural light and space, book Premium King or Premier Suite

Why It Matters

One Michelin Key (2025). One of only four Historic Hotels of America in Savannah. Indian-Southern fusion breakfast by a resident chef. On-site Greenhouse Spa with signature copper soaking tubs. Free self-parking — a genuine rarity in the Historic District. Evening champagne sabering included in every stay.

Two adjoining 1876 Italianate townhouses on a quiet residential block, one walk from Forsyth Park. Technically a B&B, but this place operates more like a very considered boutique hotel: 16 adults-only rooms, with breakfast, afternoon high tea, and an evening champagne-sabering ritual included in every stay. The kitchen blends Indian spices with Southern cooking traditions, which makes the morning spread genuinely surprising. Michelin awarded it a Key in 2025, and it's one of only four Historic Hotels of America in Savannah.
