General Information:
YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE NATIONAL AWARD-WINNING HISTORIC WINDSOR HOTEL. Located in the city*s
National Register Historic District, the regal Windsor Hotel is the crown-jewel of beautiful
Americus, Georgia. Originally built in 1892, the Windsor was fashioned after the finest
hosteliers of late 19th century Europe. The hotel incorporates a pleasantly eclectic mix of
architectural elements, noticed especially in the turret and round tower, and in the unusual
array of window styles. The five-story castle-like building occupies nearly an entire city
block in historic downtown Americus, and was built as a destination for northern hunters and
vacationers looking for the mild winters of the south. A total of 8-million dollars has
since 1991 been invested in different restoration projects that have revitalized the 53 guest
rooms--each with high ceilings, ceiling fans, plantation shutters and high speed Internet
service--as well as the round tower suites, balconies and the golden-oak-trimmed, three-story
atrium lobby. Palms, antique chandeliers and wicker rockers characterize the hotel*s nostalgic
blend of comfort and beauty. The hotel*s location--just 9 miles from Jimmy Carter National
Historic Site in Plains and Andersonville National Historic Site--puts you within easy reach
to all of the area*s attractions. On-site amenities are the full-service Windsor Spa,
boutique, beauty salon, gift shop, visitor center and the convivial Floyd*s Pub.
