Hotel Bardo Savannah: An Art-Filled Mansion on Forsyth Park

Hotel Bardo Savannah is one of the most talked-about openings in the American South, a lavishly restored 1888 mansion facing the fountains and live oaks of Forsyth Park in Savannah's historic district. Reimagined as an art-filled, maximalist urban resort with a pool courtyard and a members' social club, it has given the genteel city a jolt of contemporary glamour.

The dining is a scene in itself. Saint Bibiana serves coastal Italian cuisine and house-made pasta inside the swoon-worthy mansion under chef Jim Anile; the Mediterranean-inspired Bar Bibi enlivens the pool; and the Green Room lobby bar and the members' Club Bardo complete the offering.

For a stylish, art-filled Savannah stay, Hotel Bardo is a standout.
