Kehoe House
Gracious mansion in Savannah’s Historic District
General Information
What to expect: Built in 1892, this richly restored Renaissance Revival mansion overlooks historic Columbia Square in Savannah. Distinctive architectural elements include cast-iron trim, Corinthian columns, and decorative use of red brick and terra cotta. Etched-glass doors open to a lobby with hardwood floors and crystal chandeliers. This romantic inn is popular with couples and welcomes high-end business clientele during the week.
Amenity highlights: A complimentary breakfast is served each morning in the handsomely appointed dining room of Kehoe House. In addition to freshly baked muffins, fruits, and cereal, the menu includes made-to-order items such as Bananas Foster French Toast and Columbia Square Crêpes. After a day of shopping, sightseeing, or meetings, guests can relax with complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres. Afternoon tea is also complimentary.
Insider tip: Guests attending the hit show Jukebox Journey should pick up their tickets early at the box office. Each ticket includes a 10-percent discount at a nearby restaurant and can be used for lunch or dinner before the performance or at another time.
