History
Hotel Bardo Savannah occupies an 1888 Romanesque Revival red-brick mansion originally built as the residence of the Lewis Kayton family, facing Forsyth Park at 700 Drayton Street. The building was converted into a hotel in 2005 as the Mansion on Forsyth Park.
LEFT LANE acquired the property in 2022 and, after a comprehensive reimagining, reopened it as Hotel Bardo in February 2024 with 149 rooms, Saint Bibiana restaurant, Saltgrass Spa, and Club Bardo.
The setting
Hotel Bardo Savannah stands on 700 Drayton Street in Savannah Historic District, Savannah. Forsyth Park is about 2 minutes on foot. Mercer Williams House Museum is roughly 6 minutes' walk, and The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is roughly 9 minutes' walk. Savannah's Historic District is the American South as a grid of squares: live oaks, Spanish moss, and an evening that still walks. Riverfront warehouses and townhouse inns share the same night.
