Here's a perfect start and end to a Savannah walking tour of River Street or the city's National Landmark Historic District: The Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront will officially open at 102 West Bay Street Savannah, Ga. on Friday, July 24, 2009.
This property is the latest luxury boutique hotel by The Kessler Collection of Orlando, Fla., and the first new hotel overlooking the Savannah River in 17 years.


"I have always dreamed about opening a world-class boutique hotel on Savannah's historic riverfront," said Richard Kessler. "Travelers can expect the high-quality accommodations and cuisine they have enjoyed while staying at The Mansion at Forsyth Park."
Overlooking the Savannah River, and just steps away from shops, restaurants, art galleries and attractions, The Bohemian embodies classic Southern charm and hospitality. The hotel's brick façade echo River Street's historic river walk, where shipping and the cotton trade once dominated.  
 
"We paid respect to Savannah's rich history throughout the design of The Bohemian Hotel," said Mark Kessler, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Relations for The Kessler Collection. "From the architecture to the design, The Bohemian will set a new standard of excellence along Savannah's riverfront."
