We spent a night in Savannah on our way back from Florida. We loved our stay here. The property is beautiful and the rooms have everything you need. There was complimentary champagne our first night and the complimentary breakfast was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this b&b and we will absolutely be back next time we are in the area.

It’s a beautiful gem in the heart if the historic district
Very helpful and over top friendly staff
The rooms are exquisite and high end design and quality
The bedsheets were amazing
Breakfast is great - different variety - continental but again quality food and presentation
The place itself has so much charm
Tall ceilings and windows, spacious rooms
I was in the upstairs one only and the outdoors invites to work relax or socialize
Easy to walk around to Forsyth park and easily walkable to river front, downtown areas.
I would def come again

Our stay at the Bellwether was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and our room was absolutely stunning. They think of every detail to ensure your stay is everything you hope for and more. The nightly champagne saber exemplified this. My husband and I got lattes from the bar each morning which were delicious. The location is very convenient, as well. If you opt to get tickets for the hop-on, hop-off trolley, one of the stops is right around the corner from the Bellwether. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back.

This hotel offers an unforgettable experience with its personalized service, outstanding customer care, and attention to detail. The food is exceptional, with every meal crafted to perfection. Its prime location and old-world charm create a warm, inviting atmosphere that’s hard to match. A perfect blend of comfort, elegance, and hospitality—I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We loved our stay at the Bellweather Inn. The historic charm of the inn was everywhere but the modern conveniences were not lacking. The bathroom was well appointed and laid out, the queen size bed was comfortable and the linens were perfectly soft. The included breakfast was delicious with many options, including gluten free amd vegetarian. We would absolutely stay again.
