Fodor's Expert Review Kehoe House

123 Habersham St., Savannah, Georgia, 31401, USA Fodor's Choice

Known for its remarkably friendly and attentive staff, this 1890s-era house, handsomely appointed in Victorian splendor, was originally the family manse of William Kehoe, a prominent Savannah businessman whose Kehoe Iron Works are now an event venue near the Eastern Wharf. On the main floor, a double parlor has two fireplaces and sweeps the eye upward with its 14-foot ceilings, creating an elegant setting for a made-to-order Southern breakfast; later in the day you'll be treated to afternoon tea and desserts and an evening wine and hors d'oeuvres reception. Don't miss the courtyard garden and the music room with a baby grand piano. Guest rooms in this charmer have a decidedly Victorian feel, with a mix of antiques and gilt mirrors, and the location on Columbia Square puts it on the quieter side of town, though tour trolleys will pass reguarly.
