Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Monday, November 30th, 2015

The Partridge Inn is proud to announce that all phases of a year-long, multi-million dollar renovation have been completed and all areas of the hotel are refinished and reopened.  The hotel has emerged from this extensive project with not just a new look and feel, but a new identity as part of the Curio-a Collection by Hilton brand.

With so many significant changes to The Partridge Inn, highlights of the renovation are listed below:

·         Completely new guest rooms (144), bathrooms and connecting balconies now include modern furniture and lighting fixtures, including exquisite beds with designer linens and sheets. All rooms have bath robes and slippers, and 42-inch HD televisions with 100 channels. The vibrant color scheme consists of light, neutral walls accented by rich, dark décor.
·         Public areas were redesigned including hotel hallways, a quarter-mile of verandahs that wrap around the exterior of the hotel, the lobby and the addition of a new lobby market, a state-of-the-art exercise room, and the new covered porte-cochère.  
·         The hotel’s exterior was repainted to classic white for a fresh new façade.  
·         Augusta’s favorite gathering spot, the P.I. Bar & Grill, has been entirely redesigned with up-to-date color schemes for a polished look and feel. The white marble-top bar features illuminated liquor shelves, six taps, plenty of high top and communal seating, new bench seating, and two big screen televisions.
·         The hotel’s top floor Penthouse and rooftop lounge were completely remodeled with a new interior as impressive as the stunning views of downtown Augusta. The 2,100 sq. ft. Penthouse is available to rent out for private events, and on weekends when it is not booked, the space opens as a pop-up bar. The Penthouse’s three exclusive guest rooms are available to book and offer a top-notch experience.  
·         The addition of the Cigar Bar on the first floor includes a patio and lounge with all new captain’s chairs and sectional seating, as well as a fire pit that encourages relaxing and private conversation.
·         The newly remodeled meeting space includes updated meeting room technology such as A/V screens and projectors and updated Wi-Fi at 100 mbps.
·         Two Tesla Destination Charging stations and one standard charging station for electric cars are available in the parking garage.
 
“With these renovations, we have returned The Partridge Inn to its status as Augusta’s premier hotel,” said Lloyd Van Horn, General Manager of The Partridge Inn. “Guests will be pleased to find modern conveniences integrated into a renovation that honors the memorable architecture and ambiance of the historic property. We are proud to reintroduce this iconic Augusta landmark to both the city and its visitors.”
 
The hotel is managed by NorthPointe Hospitality Management, LLC., who worked directly with Janus Associates Construction Management LLC., and Sims Patrick Studio during the renovation to bring it up to the standards that are expected by today’s travelers. The original woodwork and ceiling tiles have remained completely intact. The Partridge Inn’s new design preserves the historic architectural features of the Inn while offering a sophisticated, contemporary interior.
