So Nice to Meet You
A maverick among grand hotels. A revolutionary new experience. Part urban resort, part neighborhood clubhouse. We exist to create transformational moments of exceptional rarity and brilliance. And tucked within a historic building on Forsyth Park is our flagship property—Hotel Bardo Savannah.
Inspired by the classic seaside resorts and grand hotels of the past, Bardo offers world-class wellness, luxurious atmosphere and service, and a fresh take on food and beverage that discerning travelers expect—but with an acute eye for what’s local and unique. Elected one of the best new hotels by Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and Southern Living. We lay the groundwork for an unrepeatable journey. We’re Always Rare.

Left Lane brings a fresh perspective on design, service, and programming. With an appreciation for the finer things and that which is entirely unexpected.
We like to make something new out of something old, layering disparate, yet complimentary design elements throughout our hotels. More than a hotel, we create experiences that delight and fascinate. Places people want to come back to over and over.
