Amazing stay in Savannah!
We loved the Bellwether! The house is beautiful and the staff are amazing. We stayed in suite 14 off the patio and had the perfect amount of interaction and privacy. My husband kept raving about how much he enjoyed the stay. Every night there is complimentary brut and the bar stays open until 11. The location is perfect. The Bellwether also offers breakfast and adternoon tea amd sandwiches. We didn't partake in either but the next time we will because we plan on returning. If you are hesitant to book a suite, dont be, just do it!

Absolutely fantastic property and the location is perfect to Forsyth Park close to the main fountain (just a small walk away) - we arrived at night so the front entrance was tricky to find, however there is a rear entrance to the hotel property down an adjacent rear alley/street (E Gaston Lane) with a very convenient area to load and unload luggage, step through the courtyard and up the steps into the rear entrance of Bellwether. Room Four was amazing.

Liked the coziness feeling of not too many guests. Had to get used to the “old city” environment, but that contributed to the “ uniqueness “ of it. Overall, enjoyable experience.

2nd time is a charm!
Another great stay at the Bellwether. The room was charming, food was amazing and the service was great. You get good value when you realize that your overnight stay includes a late day high tea, glass of champagne and a delicious breakfast. We will be back!
