Kimpton Brice Hotel

We had an amazing stay here! We were traveling with my chocolate lab and booked this dog friendly hotel. This is the best dog friendly hotel I've ever stayed.

1) they are located in Savannah historical district, everything is pretty much walking distance.
2) safe neighborhood
3) they have happy hour everyday from 5-6. Free wine and great to mingle. They have an Italian restaurant on the first floor, they provided delicious appetizers for this happy hour- when we stayed for a couple of nights, they served different appetizer for each night. Amazing.
4) complimentary water and infused water, coffee(in morning)
5) clean and staffs are nice. Cute room decorations
6) dog friendly without any additional fee. Pet deposit applies. Free dog cookies at the lobby

My dog has always lived in high rise apt building (we live in NYC) and he immediately loved this place. A lot of dog guests there, he enjoyed saying hi to them.

We loved the city and this hotel so much, we extended the hotel for another night.

Highly recommended and we will be back for sure!

The Kimpton Brice was the perfect hotel for a three night stay in Savannah. Booked through Amex at a midlevel price point, the hotel provided great service, decent amenities, and a $100 dollar credit for Pacci's.

We were greeted with friendly doormen and the receptionist was bubbly and helpful. Unfortunately for us, we did not get a complimentary upgrade because they did not have one available during Easter weekend. Even without the upgrade, we still got the $100 credit to use during our hotel stay.

The room itself is clean and spacious. We had a poolside view and two queen sized beds. The shower amenities smelled great and worked decently well on my bleached hair. My only real complaint were the mattresses and pillows which were too soft since I prefer firmer mattresses and pillows.

Housekeeping was pretty consistent throughout our stay and we would come back to a serviced room two out of three days of our stay. The hotel also provided a complimentary wine hour from 5-6pm in the outdoor terrace or lobby which was a nice touch. My partner and I took advantage of the $100 credit and used it on breakfast at Pacci's. The portions, prices, and quality made Pacci's a satisfying and hearty breakfast option during our stay.

The best part of the hotel is the location which is a block away from the riverside. It's also walking distance from the restaurants and main strips of the Northern Historical District which cut down our transportation costs. Even Forsyth Park, which is a little further out, was walking distance.

For the price point, the Kimpton Brice satisfied all our needs and gave us a clean, convenient, and comfortable place to stay during our trip. I would come back again and hopefully remember to take pictures of the room next time.

On a short trip to Savannah, GA with our daughter, son-in-law and our fur baby, we stayed in this pet friendly hotel close to Riverwalk. From the moment you enter the lobby you feel the good vibes.

Devon who waited on us, was incredibly helpful and the main reason for my giving our stay a solid 5 star. Devon corrected an issue with Booking.com where they did not submit our info correctly to the hotel and our one room double bed reservation was nowhere to be found. He resolved the issue by providing two connecting rooms for the same price as one!

Our room and bathroom were clean, but our bed sheet was ripped on one side and the comforter looked and felt worn.

As an avid reader, I was happy to be surrounded by great books -- on shelf in the main lobby and on the far wall next to the bar and elevator.

Every afternoon between 5-6pm the lobby invites their guests to a social hour with free cocktails. We enjoyed hanging out in their beautiful courtyard while sipping wine ;)

Absolutely not the Kimpton standard, I ended up leaving early and had a munch better experience at the Hilton Garden Inn a few blocks away.
Before getting to the room, check-in was a mess. It's a small desk space and there were probably 4 people ahead of me in line to check in and it felt chaotic. The receptionist took my ID credit card, gave me back my cc and then said "have a nice stay" no ID, no room key. Then she gave me the ID but still forgot the room key. The room, gross. Felt like it hasn't been cleaned well in months. The shower had hair on different walls and some kind of light green cream like a conditioning hair masque that a former guest must have used and the cleaning staff didn't clean the bathroom.
The floors were also dirty, the sides of the wall were dark and dusty as in months of non-cleaning and different dog hairs from previous stays. So bad that I used towels to put down on the floor because my feet felt gross. Oh also, no slippers!! I was very surprised that this hotel had a very limited supply of standard hotel things. If you needed a shower cap or sewing kit or anything like that, you had to ask the front desk.
Speaking of asking the front desk, when I asked for 2 more towels (to replace the ones I put down on the filthy floor), they told me they didn't have any clean towels because all of the rooms were booked (what?) but they'd give me pool towels (not plush or nice at all). When I got to the room, I realized one of the "pool towels" they gave me was ripped along the side and had several holes on it.

Also, it's advertised as a dog-friendly hotel which is great and I was happy to bring my dog but the walls are thin and you can hear dogs barking all day long. Mine is 15 and is unbothered so it wasn't an issue for her. Every time someone walked by the hallway, there were 2 dogs near my room that would go off barking.

Finally, we go to check out and get our car. We wait about 10 minutes even though it wasn't busy and we're there on the sidewalk waiting with the dog, our bags etc and they don't even open any of the car doors (not even the trunk) or offer to help us with the bags. It's a $45 parking fee and they can't even open the car door?!?!

I'm embarrassed for the Kimpton.
With the different options available to stay in Savannah, I recommend staying anywhere but here.

I'm an avid fan of Kimpton hotels and have always had exceptional experiences at their DMV area properties pre-COVID. The atmosphere, rooms, and service have consistently been top-notch. However, during my recent stay, I noticed a need for aesthetic improvements both inside and outside the property. The walls and furniture in our room, as well as throughout the hotel, could benefit from a refresh - new paint and replacement of baseboards would go a long way.

Upon entering our room, my husband and I were met with a pet odor, hair on the floor, and dander. As someone highly allergic to animals, I wasn't aware that it was a pet-friendly hotel. It would have been helpful if the staff had asked about allergies during check-in to ensure a clean room. Once I alerted the front desk via text, they promptly moved us to another room and apologized for the inconvenience. I truly appreciate the efficient response through the texting feature.

Despite these issues, we had an enjoyable stay, thanks to the outstanding hotel staff and the onsite restaurant. I did want to commend the hotel for allowing us to check in earlier than normal, which I found very accommodating.

As a suggestion, I recommend considering a renovation to enhance the overall aesthetics of the property. Perhaps the hotel can take inspiration from other Kimpton locations where the aesthetics are more appealing. Additionally, proactively inquiring about guests' allergies during check-in, especially for pet-friendly rooms, could prevent discomfort for those with sensitivities. Maintaining the high standards that I've experienced in other DMV area Kimpton hotels would undoubtedly contribute to the continued excellence of the brand.

Ps . Service gets four stars. Especially to the young lady that helped me through out our stay .

Traveling with a dog means we usually sacrifice luxury but here you are welcomed. As soon as we checked in, Devan welcomed us and gave us recommendations for dinner.

This beautiful hotel in the heart of old Savannah is special and shall become a regular stop for us going forward.

Having a loaded vehicle we opted for valet parking ($44/day). A short walk through old Savannah and you are near the waterfront.

The hotel has a beautiful courtyard and great bar.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. checked into a room with a King Bed with Queen linens with holes in the duvet. Sheets came off in the middle of the night & we asked the front desk 3 days in a row to fix the problem which they never did. Front desk Managers were useless, especially the hotel "consultant" (Jason) who was combative and rude. Dogs barked day and night and the rooms are not designated as pet rooms, so if you have allergies, good luck. You'll only find out when you can't breath in the middle of the night, which happened to me. Housekeeping doesn't show up and the "Consultant" blamed Covid when in fact, they don't pay their staff anything. Holiday Inn has a higher standard of management so maybe these people could take some notes.

Whenever I'm traveling, I always try to prioritize Kimpton hotels. My husband has to travel to Savannah several times a year for work, so my daughter and I like to tag along.

Kimpton Brice is tucked in the heart of downtown at the end of Bay Street, making it easily accessible to historic neighborhoods, the Riverside district, restaurants, views, etc.

While maintaining its personal charm and boutique-style that is synonymous with the Kimpton brand, it pays homage to the Savannah area through its architecture and decor. That said, it does also show its age and rumor has it, they've gone through some rolling renovations on account of that.

The first time we visited, we were graciously upgraded to a suite room, which boasted a lovely four point canopy bed and was perfect for our family of three to spread out. The second time, we were nestled in a standard room with two queen beds. Accommodations weren't as wow-worthy as the larger suite room, but it did the trick.

Highlights:
- Jasmine working as hospitality staff. She took such great care of us the first time and she recognized us on our most recent visit. She's truly a gem for the hotel.
- 5-6pm complimentary happy hour in the lobby (a Kimpton highlight).
- competitive rates.
- lovely and quaint pool.

Room for improvement:
- the housekeeping staff weren't consistent in cleaning our room. We were gone one day from 10am - 3pm and we came back to only one bed made and a cleaning cloth left behind. The hallways were consistently pretty dirty as well.
- $40 a day for overnight parking.
- Staff at the attached restaurant, Pacci, were cold and disengaged every time we'd pop in for a beverage or a bite. (Except for Peter, who went out of his way to make us feel at home!)
- pool was crowded and they were all out of towels.
- beds seem old in the standard rooms. Incredibly stiff and squeaky.
- while Kimptons are pet friendly, this building is not. The first time we stayed there, we could hear constant yipping from the vents

LOVED my stay at this hotel. Staff was helpful, and the atmosphere of the whole hotel was lively and trendy. Our room was comfortable and had a nice view of the pool. The bed was extremely comfortable. We didn't know that they offer a wine happy hour daily, which we took advantage of. Location of hotel was perfect too- close enough to a lot of great bars and restaurants. Four stars because I wish parking was included without additional cost for valet. It would also be helpful if you were able to order late night snacks. We came back one night around 10 but unfortunately weren't able to order any food to the room at that time.

It's located in a beautiful area which is very close to the river. My original room was not available for early check-in, but they had a downgraded room available. The room was great until it came time to go to bed in approximately 10:30 PM. The noise coming from the pool area came directly through the windows as if I was outside in that area. That noise finally quieted down at approximately 11 PM. The person in the room next to me then came in for the night. I was able to hear every single thing, happening, phone conversation, sitting down a glass, etc... through the adjoining door, as if it was paper thin. I was also able to hear street noise through the windows, as they do not seem to be very sound proof at all.

They did offer morning, coffee for free, but no breakfast. The canteen behind the front desk is not stocked well at all. Unless you want to park on the street you will need to pay a mandatory $44 per day valet parking fee to be parked in the garage.

Thankfully, they have an enjoyable patio and pleasant employees. I might consider giving this place another chance, but will definitely shop around more before hand.

Yours truly spent a week at the Kimpton Brice while vacationing in Savannah and enjoyed the experience.

The hotel is an old building that's been renovated into a boutique-y appearing hotel but it's a little deceiving because they have 125 rooms. Nonetheless, it FEELS smaller than it is. It's pet friendly, so steer clear if you're allergic, but very clean and well kept. The staff was always friendly and accommodating and they worked to get us both early checkin and a late checkout.

The grounds are older and although clean, we did notice a few cosmetic items that could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. The pool is located in a little courtyard to the south and is relatively small but (after going daily for a week) wasn't ever super crowded and we were even the only people in the pool twice.

We didn't partake but they have a full bar and Italian restaurant on premises. Rooms were clean and spacious but again, couple instances were they could use some cosmetic love but it wasn't dirty or off putting - just an old building.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and high marks for the amazing staff. I would gladly stay here again.
