"The Bohemian Hotel, an imposing, red-brick, warehouse-style building, fits its riverside location perfectly, but its interior delivers a much more eclectic visual experience. The overall theme of the hotel is maritime chic, with cast-iron ropes, driftwood sculptures, and oyster shells peppered throughout the public spaces and guest rooms. There are also abstract art installations in the form of huge wooden spheres, plus antique kayaks suspended from the ceiling. Although some may find the eclecticism a little challenging, an open mind will help facilitate a truly lovely stay." - Paul Oswell
"With its picturesque setting and creative atmosphere Savannah is like no other city in Georgia — this is probably the only town this side of New Orleans where a hotel like the Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront would feel at home. It’s set in the vibrant riverfront historic district, and it dials the romance up to ten with interiors that are colorful and decadent enough to make this writer wonder whatTitanicmight have looked like with Tim Burton behind the camera." - MICHELIN Guide

"Why did this hotel catch your attention?The Bohemian Hotel, an imposing, red-brick, warehouse-style building, fits its riverside location perfectly, but its interior delivers a much more eclectic visual experience. The overall theme is maritime chic, with cast-iron ropes, driftwood sculptures, and oyster shells peppered throughout the public spaces and guest rooms. There are also abstract art installations in the form of huge wooden spheres, plus antique kayaks suspended from the ceiling. What's the backstory?The hotel is part of Marriott's Kessler brand (which is part of the company's Autograph Collection). Tell us all about the rooms.Our River View room overlooked the Savannah River from its perch on the seventh floor—about as high as you can get in this low-rise-heavy city. The color palate was rich—all burnt oranges and browns. Leather-backed chairs maintained the elevated feel, and the chandeliers made from oyster shells added whimsy and uniqueness to the space. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?The Wi-Fi was free and fast. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The hotel has two restaurant-bars, Rocks on the River and Rocks on the Roof. The former is an all-day joint serving accessible international and American classics, including eggs Benedict, chowders, and pizzas. The rooftop spot has captivating views of the river; only open at night, it serves bar favorites like truffle fries and crab cakes. How was the service?Staff are nothing but helpful; we got dinner recommendations from the doorman and nightlife tips from the bellhop. What type of travelers will you find here?The esoteric, funky decor and walkable location draws an all-ages crowd. What about the neighborhood? What's the scene like?The riverside is a fairly touristy location close to downtown Savannah. If the river isn’t for you, the scenic squares of the historic district are a few minutes’ walk away. Any other hotel features worth noting?There's so much interesting art that it's worth meandering around the hotel just to take them all in. Final tips?The Bohemian is an unusual and memorable hotel. Although some may find the eclecticism a little challenging, an open mind will help facilitate a truly lovely stay." - Paul Oswell
