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.
