A Bohemian Escape in Historic Savannah

As an avid traveler always seeking unique accommodations, The Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront, Autograph Collection, had been on my radar for quite some time. Its promise of luxury intertwined with a distinctive artistic flair, right on the iconic River Street, was simply too intriguing to pass up. My recent stay confirmed every high expectation, making it a truly memorable part of my Savannah getaway.

Arrival & First Impressions

From the moment I stepped out of the car, the valet team was incredibly welcoming, swiftly handling my luggage and setting a relaxed tone for the stay. The lobby of The Bohemian is an experience in itself. Gone are the predictable hotel aesthetics; instead, you’re greeted by a rich tapestry of textures, dark woods, sumptuous leather, and captivating original artwork that pays homage to Savannah’s maritime history. The air was subtly scented with the hotel’s signature fragrance, an inviting touch that immediately made me feel at ease. The check-in process was seamless and friendly, completed with a delightful welcome glass of champagne – a perfect start to a luxury hotel experience in Savannah.

My Accommodations: A Sanctuary with a View

My river view room was a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. The attention to detail was evident everywhere, from the premium bedding on the incredibly comfortable pillow-top mattress to the custom-carved vanity and striking oyster shell chandelier. The marble-appointed bathroom, complete with a rainfall showerhead, felt like a private spa oasis. Waking up to the panoramic views of the Savannah River, watching the ships glide by, was an absolute highlight and a reminder of the hotel’s exceptional Savannah River Street location. The room’s amenities, including a flat-panel HDTV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an in-room Starbucks coffee maker, ensured every convenience was at my fingertips.

Dining at the Hotel: Culinary Delights with a View

One of the standout features of The Bohemian Hotel is its diverse dining options. I had the pleasure of experiencing both.

Coastal 15, located on the ground floor, offers a fantastic breakfast spread. The globally-inspired coastal cuisine with a touch of Southern heritage was evident in every dish. The vibrant atmosphere made it a perfect spot to start the day before exploring historic Savannah.

Evenings were inevitably drawn to Rocks on the Roof, the hotel’s acclaimed rooftop bar. The views are simply breathtaking – a panoramic sweep of the Savannah River and the city lights that glitter after dusk. It’s truly one of the best rooftop bars in Savannah. The handcrafted cocktails were expertly mixed, and the small plates were perfect for a relaxed evening while soaking in the vibrant ambiance and occasional live music. It can get lively, but that’s part of its charm!

Amenities & Services: Beyond Expectations

Beyond the stunning aesthetics and prime location, the hotel’s amenities and services truly enhance the stay. The fitness center was well-equipped, allowing me to maintain my routine. The complimentary Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout the property. Daily housekeeping kept my room impeccable, and the 24/7 front desk staff were always on hand with excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining, embodying the renowned Southern hospitality. The fact that this boutique hotel in Savannah, GA, is also pet-friendly (with clear guidelines) speaks volumes about its inclusive nature.

Location: The Heart of Savannah at Your Doorstep

The Bohemian Hotel’s location is arguably its most significant asset. Stepping directly onto Savannah’s River Street, you’re immediately immersed in the lively atmosphere of shops, restaurants, and historic cobblestones. Iconic landmarks like City Market, Forsyth Park, and the city’s famous historic squares are all within easy walking distance. This hotel serves as an ideal base for any visitor looking to thoroughly explore the best of Savannah.

My stay at The Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront, Autograph Collection, was nothing short of exceptional. It’s more than just a place to sleep; it’s an immersive experience that perfectly captures the spirit of Savannah while offering a unique, artistic retreat.
