Job description

Named the #1 Hotel in Savannah by Travel + Leisure in 2026, Hotel Bardo Savannah is more than a hotel. It’s a neighborhood clubhouse, a gathering place and a world of its own—where exceptional hospitality feels personal, thoughtful and always a little unexpected.

Set beside Forsyth Park in the heart of Savannah, Bardo brings together 149 guest rooms and suites, Saint Bibiana, Bar Bibi, The Green Room, Saltgrass Spa , The Cooking School and spaces designed for everything from quiet mornings to unforgettable celebrations.

Our most recent recognition from Travel + Leisure joins a growing list of honors, including Bardo’s distinction as a Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown recipient, recognized across the Hot List, Gold List and Readers’ Choice Awards. But the recognition belongs to the people behind the experience—a team that believes the smallest details can make the biggest impression.

At Bardo, hospitality is generous, intuitive and full of personality. Whether you’re welcoming a guest, setting the table, creating a restorative spa experience or making everything happen behind the scenes, you play a part in creating the kind of place people never quite want to leave.

LEFT LANEHospitality Group, LLC is a vertically integrated real estate design, development and management firm specializing in the acquisition and transformation of iconic, historic properties. We are committed to fostering a welcoming, dynamic, and inspiring workplace and company culture where our team members are inspired to create lasting impressions through warm, anticipatory service. How we want our guests to feel when staying with us is the same as…how we want our team to feel every day.

About the role

Hotel Bardo Savannah is seeking an experienced Housekeeping Manager to help lead the day-to-day operation of our Housekeeping team. Hotel Bardo is an intimate luxury property, and our expectations for cleanliness, presentation, and attention to detail are exceptionally high. Maintaining that standard requires a leader who is highly visible, hands-on, and comfortable spending the majority of the day in the operation.

This is an onsite position located at Hotel Bardo Savannah. Candidates must have hotel or resort housekeeping leadership experience and the flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays based on operational needs.
