And now, theres a luxury resort that channels all three.
It is arguably the quaintestneighborhood of Savannah.
My Bardo suite was particularly huge.
It had a full kitchen, a six-person dining table, and a plush daybed under a 12-foot-high turret.
Savannah has a wealth shortage of cocktail bars, but I found no reason to leave this one.
My Bardo suite is among those rooms.
(Standard rooms, by contrast, start at 410 square feet.)
At night, the lighting dims, and the menu switches over to fine coastal Italian.
There is a nicely edited selection of Italian wines and cocktails and an impressive list of 20 after-dinner amaros.
Its an inviting place to sun tan, read a book, and day drink.
The hotel also has bikes and tennis gear for use.
Personal sessions are available for an extra fee.
Accessibility and Sustainability
Seven ADA-compliant rooms have wider doorways, roll-in showers, and accessible shower controls.
It has just as much architectural charm but with fewer tourists and more of a neighborhood vibe.
On Saturday mornings, a farmers' market is held at Forsyth Park across the street.
Savannah is a very walkable city, and the hotel has complimentary bikes for exploring the city.
