The new Crowne Plaza North Augusta is participating in the annual Toys for Tots program by collecting toys for children in the community.  New and unwrapped toys may be dropped off by December 7th in the lobby of the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce located at 406 West Avenue in North Augusta during regular business hours from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.  The toys will be delivered to children before Christmas Day.

The Crowne Plaza North Augusta is slated to open in December 2018 as part of the $200 million Riverside Village at Hammond’s Ferry development along the Savannah River in North Augusta. The new hotel, designed to be the town center and an inviting meeting spot for locals and visitors, will embrace modern southern hospitality in its service, design and décor.  Interiors will blend the warm sophistication of the southern heritage of leisure sporting with a welcoming and modern industrial aesthetic.  Crowne Plaza North Augusta will have 180 rooms and suites; a 120-seat restaurant and bar; rooftop bar; 10,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 5,400 square-foot ballroom; outdoor pool; and fitness center.  Atlanta-based NorthPointe Hospitality Management will oversee the pre-opening sales and marketing, recruiting and training for all operational aspects of the Crowne Plaza North Augusta.

The new 30-acre mixed-use development of Riverside Village combines a beautifully crafted neighborhood with single family homes, condominiums and apartments; a vibrant town and event center; restaurants; brewery; outdoor center; and sports complex all adjacent to the Savannah River. 

The development will be anchored by a new stadium and home for the Augusta Green Jackets minor league baseball team, an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. The area has 62 miles of greenway space and a nature trail behind the Crowne Plaza along the banks of the Savannah River.
