Hotel Bardo Savannah

I saw your ad on Facebook and I thought it would be such a nice way to spend our 65th birthdays and it did not disappoint. It was very upscale everyone was nice and it was a great location. The young lady at the pool they gave out the towels made me feel very welcomed, and the young lady that served us was very attentive. The young man that drove us around in the house car was very respectful, friendly and informative.

We did have food and a drink at the bar inside when we first got there and the food was very good it just wasn’t hot like we would have like.

Fabulous hotel beautifully done and staff are friendly and welcoming!

I can't think of anything

The location was perfect and the pool really helped in the heat. The staff was polite and attentive.

Saint Bibiana is always a highlight of our visits. The food is delicious and the restaurant is beautiful.

We recently returned to Hotel Bardo for our second annual girls’ trip, and unfortunately, this stay felt noticeably different from our first experience. Since our last visit, the hotel has introduced “Club Bardo,” which appears to function as a local membership-style club. While I understand the appeal from a business standpoint, the impact on the guest experience—particularly for out-of-town visitors paying premium nightly rates—was significant. The pool environment, which was previously a highlight, now felt overcrowded and chaotic. It resembled more of a summer camp atmosphere, with children running freely and multiple birthday parties taking over shared spaces. Securing a pool chair felt overly competitive, and basic amenities were inconsistent—there were periods when towels were unavailable and food service was delayed or unavailable due to private events. Additionally, housekeeping did not service our room without a request, which felt out of step with the level of service expected at this price point. Collectively, these issues point to a larger concern around capacity management. It seems the property may be accommodating more guests and local members than it can effectively support, resulting in a diluted experience for paying hotel guests. That said, I do want to recognize a few standout team members. Maxwell at the pool was consistently friendly and did his best to manage a challenging environment. We also had a positive interaction with a manager at Bar Bibi on Saturday (3/21), wearing a green and white striped dress—she was attentive and professional. In prior visits, we’ve noticed some staffing strain, particularly around the pool, but this stay made those gaps much more apparent. Hotel Bardo has a beautiful property and strong potential, but there needs to be a better balance between serving club members and preserving the experience for hotel guests.
