Description: The Kehoe House stands catty-cornered to one of Savannah’s preserved architectural treasures and house museums, the Davenport House, and has a commanding view of Columbia Square. The Kehoe House was constructed for an Irish immigrant who made a fortune in the iron foundry business. As his fortune and his family grew, he built this imposing brick Victorian. After its residential days, the building served other uses, including a stint as a funeral parlor. Former football star Joe Namath was one of a group of investors who held the property for a while. The Kehoe has 13 rooms and is known for its European-style service. Guests are treated to a gourmet breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening wine with hors d’oeuvres. The fourth floor includes a party/banquet room, which is often the scene of bridesmaids’ luncheons and business meetings.This inn is unusual in that it is outfitted with an elevator—an amenity you are sure to appreciate after you spend the day following our advice that the best way to see Savannah is on foot. Also, this inn touts its rumors of hauntings.
