“One of the many attributes I love about this hotel is its wonderful
location on a scenic hilltop in a peaceful residential area, while still
being minutes from Augusta’s beautiful historic district,” said Dianna
Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “Beloved by heads
of state, business executives and celebrities for more than a century,
we’re honored to welcome such a beautiful hotel to the Curio collection
– one that celebrates its past and invites guests to experience the
original 1836 house, which remains part of the foundation of the
building today.”
Known as “The Grand Hotel of the Classic South,” The Partridge Inn –
dating back to the early 1800s – is rich with history and was once a
two-story residence for a family from Connecticut. Around 1900, Morris
W. Partridge – a seasonal hotel employee in Augusta – bought the
property and began offering guest accommodations and expanding the
building several times until 1929. After the Great Depression, the inn
became a year-round commercial hotel and subsequently an apartment
house. The building fell into disrepair after World War II, barely
escaping demolition in the 1980s before local residents saved the
landmark, thus preserving one of the rich historic legacies of Augusta’s
“Hill” area.
Today, guests can relax in one of 143 recently-renovated spacious guest
rooms spanned across five floors and offering views of the area’s
gardens, the pool or the Augusta skyline. Additionally, the hotel
features a sixth floor rooftop Penthouse that can also be used to host
events for up to 100 guests. Highlights of the penthouse include a
kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms and a spacious deck
with sweeping views of Augusta. Other hotel highlights include a 24-hour
business center and a 24-hour fitness center with state-of-the-art
Precor equipment.
The hotel – managed by NorthPointe
Hospitality Management, LLC and owned by Partridge Inn Holdings, LLC
– also features modern design with all of the comforts and conveniences
of a contemporary luxury hotel. This includes a casual yet sophisticated
"club resort" style, which utilizes warm wood finishes with rich, deep,
neutral colors elegantly-accented with pops of color. The result is a
custom-tailored style that combines the best of old world glamour and
charm with casual sophistication – all with a modern twist.
"Our many wonderful features – including our location at the doorstep of
all that Augusta has to offer – comes with the reassurance of the iconic
Hilton name and sets us a step above other offerings in the market,"
said Greg Winey, president of NorthPointe Hospitality Management, LLC.
"During their stay at The Partridge Inn Augusta, our guests will not
only experience the Southern hospitality for which we’re known, but will
also be intrigued to make new discoveries in our historic city that are
truly unforgettable."
The Partridge Inn Augusta boasts a long legacy of culinary excellence.
The newly-refurbished P.I. Bar and Grill – redesigned with vibrant
colors and chic style – showcases innovative, contemporary local
cuisine, with dishes ranging from creative small plates to decadent
entrees and desserts. On Sundays, guests can enjoy the famous “Best of
Augusta” Sunday brunch, a local favorite featuring prime rib, shrimp and
