Frommer's Review

The Kehoe was built in 1892. In the 1950s, after the place had been converted into a funeral parlor, its owners tried to tear down the nearby Davenport House to build a parking lot. The resulting outrage led to the founding of the Historic Savannah Association and the salvation of most of the neighborhood's remaining historic buildings.

Today the place functions as a spectacularly opulent B&B, with a collection of fabrics and furniture that's almost forbiddingly valuable. However, it lacks the warmth and welcome of the Ballastone. This isn't a place for children -- the ideal guest will tread softly on floors that are considered models of historic authenticity and flawless taste. Breakfast and afternoon tea are part of the ritual that has seduced such former clients as Tom Hanks, who stayed in room no. 301 during the filming of parts of Forrest Gump. The rooms are spacious, with the typical 12-foot ceilings, and each is tastefully furnished with English period antiques. Each unit is equipped with a well-kept, slightly outdated bathroom containing a tub/shower combination. Amenities include a concierge and twice-daily maid service with turndown. All rooms are nonsmoking.

Facilities:
Breakfast room; all rooms are nonsmoking; rooms for those w/limited mobility
