We stayed at Belwether House for a long weekend honeymoon. The attention and care of the staff during our stay was exceptional. We had a couples massage, picnic lunch and afternoon tea and each of these services receives a 5-star rating. The property is a short walk to everything Savannah has to offer. We took a different path each time we ventured out and found new & interesting shops, restaurants and historic places to check out. The staff was knowledgeable and each person seemed to do it all with an attitude of “I’ve got this!” It was refreshing to feel cared for in this way by the team at B.H. We will be back!

We had a fantastic experience in this hotel. Staff were great and the breakfast serving southern fare was awesome. The room was beautiful and the total vibe relaxed and welcoming. We even stayed an extra night. What is more is they served afternoon tea and unlimited coffee and specialty drinks. There is a small beautiful bar with drinks for extra charge. Really fun place.

Beautiful BNB, excellent friendly & helpful staff, delicious house made pastries & unique/yummy Indian-influenced breakfast. Don’t miss the Moca Espresso & pour over coffee. I highly recommend this for a romantic getaway, or refreshing solo getaway. When other places are charging for every little amenity, The Bellwether is offering generous complimentary high tea, glass of champagne, waters, parking & full order-from-the-menu breakfast. The rooms have luxurious toiletries, & even provide facial cleanser. The essence of hospitality!

Easily one of the best hotels we've ever had the pleasure of staying at. The complimentary afternoon tea, champagne and indian-inspired breakfast were beautiful. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help and valet parking was free. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms and it was beautifully appointed. The bathroom in particular, with green glazed tiles and gold fittings, was stunning. The hotel was well located for visiting Savannah's parks and squares and a 15 minute walk from the riverside. Can't recommend enough.

Must stay B&B in Savannah!
Exceptional customer service! Stand out favorites at the B&B were Brandon and Matt. Very welcoming and were able to accommodate us with recommendations stowing of our bags until our room was ready (early). Breakfast was AMAZING! This menu has something for everyone. Poached eggs, shrimp and grits, syrniki (pancakes), oatmeal, potatoes, and yummy house cured pork bacon. PLUS an amazing assortment of specialty coffees and teas. My two favorites were the chai latte and citrus ginger tea. Included daily afternoon tea (3 - 5 pm) had some great scones and little sandwiches (petit fours). Plus those great selection of teas. You can actually get these 24/7 you just have to ask. Included daily champagne sabering/ toast was a lovely touch. I looked forward to 6pm for this fun spectacle. Please note that all the rooms are different so this review is for room 4. Brandon and Matt said that our room was their favorite. We splurged since it was our anniversary. Our room was beautiful, nicely decorated, spacious, clean, and most importantly had a comfy bed. The bedding was great and it had great AC that appreciated in the Savannah heat. The little touches matter: The fridge had still and sparkling water included. The bathroom had claw foot tub, hair dryer, hair flat iron, free feminine products, facial foam cleanser, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Large tv with Youtube/Pluto television. Evening fresh baked chocolate chip cookies left in your room.

Favorite hotel in Savannah.
The entrance is historic, but once inside, it's like stepping into RH- beautiful, calming, elegant. Our room was amazing with high ceilings, extremely comfortable bed and the MOST AMAZING shower I have ever had the pleasure of using. High tea and brunch were excellent and the unexpected Indian influence quite unexpected. Don't miss the 6:00 Saboring and champagne toast.
