Retreat Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of its new Fairfield by Marriott / TownePlace Suites dual-branded hotel on the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry, GA.
The 129-key hotel comprises two brands under one roof, with 66 TownePlace Suites by Marriott keys and 63 Fairfield by Marriott keys. The property includes 1824 Kitchen & Bar, complimentary breakfast, a large pool and spa, a fitness center, guest laundry, and electric vehicle charging stations. Inspired by agrarian themes and horse culture, the hotel is custom-designed to complement the Fairgrounds.
The hotel is situated on the Fairgrounds and connected via an air-conditioned corridor to the Miller-Murphy-Howard Conference Center. The property is the first Marriott in the Perry market and the only Marriott hotel within a 15-mile radius. The Fairgrounds, 100 miles south of Atlanta and proximate to the Robins Air Force Base, attracts more than one million visitors per year.
“We’re so proud of this hotel—the stunning vision came to life. You have to see it to believe it,” said JJ Singh, president of Retreat Hotels & Resorts. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the Fairgrounds, the City of Perry, Marriott, and our design and construction partners. Together we did something amazing.”
