The Partridge Inn, in Augusta, Georgia, is a hotel in the Curio Collection by Hilton. Its current full name is The Partridge Inn Augusta, Curio Collection by Hilton.
A portion of the hotel began as part of a private home in 1836.[1][2][3] The area developed into a popular destination for vacationers escaping the winter in the Northeast United States. The hotel was officially opened in 1910.[4] In 1923, city officials chose the Partridge as the site of a gala for then-President Warren G. Harding.[1]
After Henry Flagler extended railroads to Florida and shifted tourist demand from Georgia to Florida, the owner of the Partridge Inn sold the building.[1] After a period as an apartment building, the building fell into disrepair and was slated for demolition.[1][2][4] In the 1980s, civic leaders in Augusta saved the building from demolition and it reopened as a hotel in 1988.[1]
In 2010, the hotel celebrated its centennial.[4]
It is a member of the Historic Hotels of America.[3]
