Description:
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.
