PERRY, GA — Retreat Hotels & Resorts (“Retreat”) today announced the opening of its new dual-branded Fairfield by Marriott and TownePlace Suites by Marriott hotel located on the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter (“Fairgrounds”) in Perry, Georgia. The 129-key property brings two Marriott brands under one roof, offering 66 TownePlace Suites keys and 63 Fairfield keys.
Designed with inspiration from the region’s agrarian heritage and equine culture, the hotel features a custom aesthetic inside and out, crafted to complement the Fairgrounds and create a welcoming oasis for travelers. Guests will enjoy amenities including 1824 Kitchen & Bar, complimentary breakfast, a spacious pool and spa, a fitness center, guest laundry facilities, and electric vehicle charging stations. Visible from I-75, the hotel is ideally situated on the Fairgrounds and connected via an air-conditioned corridor to the Miller-Murphy-Howard Conference Center. It is the first Marriott property in the Perry market and the only Marriott hotel within a 15-mile radius. The Fairgrounds—located 100 miles south of Atlanta and near Robins Air Force Base—welcomes more than one million visitors annually, positioning the hotel to serve both Georgians and international guests.
“We’re so proud of this hotel—the stunning vision came to life.
