Located in the city*s National Register Historic District the regal Windsor Hotel is the crown-jewel of beautiful Americus Georgia. Originally built in 1892 the Windsor was fashioned after the finest hosteliers of late 19th century Europe.

The five-story castle-like building occupies nearly an entire city block in historic downtown Americus and was built as a destination for northern hunters and vacationers looking for the mild winters of the south. A total of 8-million dollars has since 1991 been invested in different restoration projects that have revitalized the 53 guest rooms--each with high ceilings ceiling fans plantation shutters and high speed Internet service--as well as the round tower suites balconies and the golden-oak-trimmed three-story atrium lobby. Palms antique chandeliers and wicker rockers characterize the hotel*s nostalgic blend of comfort and beauty. The hotel*s location--just 9 miles from Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains and Andersonville National Historic Site--puts you within easy reach to all of the area*s attractions. On-site amenities are the full-service Windsor Spa boutique beauty salon gift shop visitor center and the convivial Floyd*s Pub.
