“This has been a long time coming,” said Stephen Shimp, Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter executive director. “We now have a world-class hotel that enhances our operations. The Retreat team has been on-site, attentive to every detail. We thank them and the entire Fairgrounds team for helping us reach this milestone.”

The 129-room property brings two Marriott brands under one roof, offering 66 TownePlace Suites rooms and 63 Fairfield rooms. 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 the 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.

The hotel is open and welcomes guests at 100 General Courtney Hodges Blvd. in Perry.
