At the center of Savannah’s rich history and exquisite architecture is The Kehoe House, which regularly ranks at the top of the best honeymoon destinations in the city. Built by William Kehoe in 1892, the property has enjoyed a storied history, having once been owned by football legend Joe Namath and undergoing a significant two-year renovation that was completed in 1992. Now an award-winning bed and breakfast, the building has been carefully maintained throughout the years to our present day.

The Savannah staple has long been a favorite for honeymooning couples thanks to a variety of luxurious, private rooms that seamlessly blend history with modern comforts. The private balcony kings – like the house favorite Johnny Mercery Room – include a private veranda, palatial king bed, and private bath. Or consider the Oglethorpe or Russell Fiore rooms, which feature picturesque views of Columbia Square. Regardless of your choice, the quiet, large rooms are perfect for romantic evenings and comfortably unwinding after an exciting day in the bustling city. Plus, after waking up in the heart of the city after a restful night’s sleep, you’ll be treated to a Savannah-style gourmet breakfast that is the perfect start to any morning.

Honeymoon couples will definitely want to consider the Savannah Honeymoon Package, which includes a private carriage ride through the city, chilled champagne, and exclusive robes for prime relaxation after your romantic experience. There are also a number of elopement and wedding packages for couples that want to utilize the gorgeous grounds for a one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony as well.

Even the communal spaces in the bed and breakfast are the epitome of coziness, with antique furniture and stunning artwork perfectly accentuating the location’s rich history. Romance seems to color each and every aspect of the historic bed and breakfast, making The Kehoe House honeymoon a wonderful choice for couples looking for a quiet vantage point to enjoy all that Savannah has to offer.

Wonderful experience

We have stayed four years in a row on our way to Florida. It’s 15 minutes off #95 but well worth it. We would have stayed there on our way north but there was a two night minimum on the return. It’s an experience whereas staying at a roadside hotel...

Staff and Breakfast MADE our trip delightful!

I loved that all the staff had local suggestions for food and history tours. They provided a 'real' opinion of where to go based on what we enjoyed. This B&B is top 2 in the 6 we've stayed at within GA and FL. Bed was very comfortable. The 5'oclock hour...

Disappointed after doing much research ahead of time

After reading the reviews below, I felt like I stayed in a different place. Yes, the house was beautiful and well kept. Our room was well appointed. When I stay at a B & B, however, I think of a homey, friendly place run by a family. This was not...

When you think “Olde Savannah” and “Southern Hospitality”, think Kehoe House.

The historic Kehoe House offers the highest value in downtown Savannah, bar none. Our room is so “Olde Savannah.” 12-foot ceilings, in-room fireplace, huge comfortable bed with pillows for days. However, the best thing about the Kehoe House is what you see when you walk up those old steps and...
