boutique hotel
Eighteen rooms in an 1874 townhouse on Jones Street — tall windows, a garden courtyard, sherry at five, and all of old Savannah outside the door.
Welcome
The house has always known how to host.
Around the rooms
The rooms
Each with its own light, its own quiet, and its own rate.
A serene queen room overlooking the courtyard fig tree, with a marble bath and morning light through original shutters.
Fourteen-foot ceilings, a canopy king, and twin windows over Jones Street's oak canopy. Our most requested room.
A corner suite in the original master quarters — sitting room in the bay window, soaking tub, and a butler's pantry bar.
Tucked under the eaves with exposed rafters and rooftop views — snug, quiet, and beloved by solo travelers.
A private two-story retreat off the courtyard with its own entrance, kitchenette, and a claw-foot tub for two.
The story
The Amberly was built in 1874 for a cotton factor with a taste for tall ceilings, and it kept most of its manners through a century and a half of Savannah summers. We spent three years restoring it — steaming paint from the plaster medallions, saving every heart-pine board we could, and hiding modern comforts where the house wouldn't notice them. What we didn't do was turn it into a lobby with rooms attached. There are eighteen keys, a parlor where sherry is poured at five, and a walled courtyard where breakfast lingers under the fig tree. Our staff will hand you a walking map, book your table, or simply leave you alone on the veranda with the ceiling fans turning. The house learned its hospitality long before we arrived; we just keep it company.
The guest book
“The Parlor King felt like borrowing a room from a very stylish great-aunt who happens to stock excellent sherry. We've already rebooked for the fall.”
“Breakfast under the fig tree, a nap in the bay window, oysters two blocks away — the Amberly planned our whole trip just by existing.”
“Eighteen rooms means the staff knew our names by the first evening and our coffee order by the second morning.”
“We stayed in the Carriage House for our tenth anniversary. Quiet, candlelit, and utterly unlike a hotel — in the best way.”
Practicalities
Check-in, parking, pets, and the morning routine.
Check-in begins at 3 PM and check-out is at 11 AM. Arriving early or leaving late? We'll hold your bags and the courtyard is yours in the meantime.
We offer valet parking for $32 per night with unlimited in-and-out, and there is a public garage two blocks away on Liberty Street.
Dogs under 40 pounds are welcome in the Garden Queen and the Carriage House for a $75 stay fee — bed, bowls, and a map of Savannah's squares included.
Yes. Courtyard breakfast — biscuits, seasonal fruit, eggs from a farm on Wilmington Island, and bottomless coffee — is included with every stay.
Children 12 and older are welcome in the main house, and families with younger children love the Carriage House, which has its own entrance and room to spread out.
