Location: Downtown Savannah vs Riverfront Bluffton

Hotel Bardo Savannah – Location

Hotel Bardo sits at 700 Drayton Street directly across from Forsyth Park in Savannah’s Historic District.

  • A one‑minute walk to Forsyth Park and short walks to Monterey Square, the Cathedral and SCAD.
  • Ideal for sightseeing, museums, riverfront dining and guided trolley/ferry tours.
  • Compact urban setting means restaurants, galleries and historic sites are immediately accessible on foot.

Choose Bardo to be in the center of Savannah’s historic attractions and walk everywhere.

Montage Palmetto Bluff – Location

Montage Palmetto Bluff occupies extensive Lowcountry grounds on the May River in Bluffton.

  • Set away from a downtown center — the property is a self‑contained village with golf and marina access.
  • On‑site boating, ecotours and hiking/biking trails put outdoor activities at your doorstep.
  • Driving is typically required to reach Bluffton/Hilton Head area towns and off‑site restaurants.

Choose Montage for a resort stay focused on on‑site outdoor activities and river access rather than walkable urban sightseeing.

Rooms: Suites in a mansion vs cottages and residences

Hotel Bardo Savannah – Rooms

Hotel Bardo offers 149 rooms and about 50 suites arranged around the historic mansion and courtyard.

  • Room types include Forsyth Park View King, Standard King, Junior Suite, Terrace Loft Suite and Family Terrace Suite.
  • Rooms emphasize historic architecture combined with modern amenities and premium bedding.
  • Accessible rooms are available; complimentary Wi‑Fi and in‑room dining are standard.

Bardo is best if you want a historic room footprint and direct access to Savannah streets and parks.

Montage Palmetto Bluff – Rooms

Montage lists many room types from Inn rooms to River View Cottages and multi‑bedroom Signature Residences.

  • Room names include Forest View Inn King Room, River View Cottage, Magnolia Cottage Two Bedroom Suite and Signature Five Bedroom Lagoon Residence 1003.
  • Options range from single‑room inn accommodations to multi‑bedroom residences and village homes for larger groups.
  • Many cottages and residences are designed for longer stays and family or group travel.

Montage is more flexible for families or groups who want cottage or residence layouts and more on‑site privacy.

Dining & drinks: Four intimate venues vs multiple restaurants

Hotel Bardo Savannah – Dining & drinks

Hotel Bardo concentrates dining around Saint Bibiana, The Green Room, Bar Bibi and Club Bardo.

  • Saint Bibiana is a coastal Italian restaurant serving breakfast, brunch and dinner with an emphasis on house‑made pasta.
  • Bar Bibi is a seasonal poolside bar serving light bites and cocktails; The Green Room is an intimate lobby bar.
  • Club Bardo is a private lounge for guests and members 21+, offering curated cocktails and evening programming.

  • River House Lounge is one of the on‑site dining options; the property lists five restaurants total.
  • Full breakfasts available for a surcharge and multiple on‑site outlets mean you can dine without leaving the resort.
  • Room service runs 24 hours and the resort supports larger group dining and event catering.

Montage is the better pick if you want varied on‑site dining options and flexible meal service during your stay.

Pools, beaches & signature amenity

Hotel Bardo Savannah – Pools, beaches & signature amenity

Wellness & nightlife: Spa and private club vs full‑scale resort spa

Hotel Bardo Savannah – Wellness & nightlife

Hotel Bardo’s Saltgrass Spa and the 24‑hour fitness center serve as the property’s wellness anchors.

  • Saltgrass Spa offers massages, facials, infrared sauna sessions and holistic bodywork; open daily 9:00 AM–6:00 PM.
  • Fitness center features Technogym equipment and Peloton bikes; spa and fitness access limited to guests 18+.

  • Full‑service spa with treatment rooms, spa services and group fitness/yoga classes listed among amenities.
