In the heart of Savannah, among the beautiful Spanish moss-draped oak trees that cast their shadowy embrace, there stands a new beacon of luxury: Hotel Bardo Savannah. Nestled on the verdant expanse of Forsyth Park, this Southern Gothic terra-cotta mansion was chosen for the location of the ELYSIAN Transformative Health & Wellness Summit that will take place on Friday, May 10th. Unveiled just this year, the hotel captures the essence of Savannah’s famed hospitality, its rich history, and its absolute beauty.
The hotel is stunning. A real-life Wes Anderson harmony of color and space and design and light. It is everything you want in a getaway hotel. There is an atmosphere of conviviality, the space adorned with plush circular club chairs, marble-topped tables, and lush potted palms. This welcoming ambiance permeates each of the 149 guest rooms and suites, where pole-wrap headboards, emerald velvet chairs, and gleaming brass lamps set a scene of refined comfort.
Incredible food can be found at Saint Bibiana, the hotel’s culinary gem, and delicious cocktails at Club Bardo, an exclusive enclave on the second floor, where libations flow freely amidst an eclectic mix of well-heeled couples, vivacious singles, and ambitious young professionals, the pulse of Savannah’s nightlife. As the hotel describes, Club Bardo is a social club inspired by the grand tradition of the early 20th-century salon—where locals and guests connect and share stories. An atmosphere for creative expression, community, and wellness—true to the soul and spirit of Savannah.
Hotel Bardo masterfully achieves the elusive goal of making guests feel like locals, seamlessly integrating with its surroundings and inviting neighbors to partake in its offerings. Hotel Bardo has an irresistible charm and enduring allure.
