Get To Know The Yamacraw Tribe
Long before Savannah became a city, the Yamacraw Tribe called this land home. Led by Chief Tomochichi, the tribe played a pivotal role in the peaceful founding of Savannah in 1733. Their alliance with British settlers, especially Governor James Oglethorpe, laid the foundation for a city built on cooperation and respect. The Bluff Hotel stands on this historic ground, honoring the legacy of the Yamacraw people through thoughtful design and storytelling. Their spirit lives on in the very heart of our hotel.
