Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront

What Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront does

Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront is a luxury boutique hotel operating on Savannah's historic River Street waterfront as a wholly-owned property of The Kessler Collection, a privately held Orlando-based hospitality company founded in 1984 by Richard C. Kessler. Opened in July 2009, the property offers artfully designed accommodations, a signature rooftop bar (Rocks on the Roof), a destination restaurant (Coastal 15) serving globally-inspired coastal cuisine, and adjacent event venue capacity via the Kessler Armstrong Mansion. It also participates in the broader Plant Riverside District ecosystem, which includes the JW Marriott Savannah, retail, multiple restaurants, and a live music venue.

The core technology stack consists of standard hotel property management and reservation systems integrated with Marriott International's global distribution network and Bonvoy loyalty platform. Direct booking is enabled via the kesslercollection.com corporate booking engine, with an RFP system for group and event bookings. There are no proprietary AI/ML systems, mobile apps, or third-party platform integrations disclosed beyond Marriott Bonvoy and standard social media properties.

The business model spans three revenue streams: (1) accommodations sold primarily through direct booking channels and Marriott Bonvoy to luxury leisure travelers, couples, and romance seekers; (2) food and beverage across Rocks on the Roof, Coastal 15, and in-room dining; and (3) events and weddings, anchored by the riverfront location and Kessler Armstrong Mansion. Pricing is quote-based rather than transparently disclosed, consistent with the luxury positioning. The property targets affluent leisure travelers, destination wedding parties, and corporate event planners, with marketing concentrated on Instagram, Facebook, email newsletters, and the corporate Kessler Collection website.
