People & Culture Manager

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.
