2 Best Hotels in Augusta, Central and North Georgia

Just off the Riverwalk, the Marriott is the city's largest full-service hotel with all the creature comforts you'd expect from an upscale hotel chain. There's a huge conference center, so it's no surprise business travelers make up a large share of the hotel's clientele. The recently renovated rooms, decorated in neutral hues, are comfy and modern. Several rooms, in particular the corner suites, offer magnificent river views. Many of Augusta's prime attractions are only a short walk away.

Perched on top of a hill overlooking Augusta, this National Trust Historic Hotel is part of Hilton's Curio Collection. The inn's 12 common balconies and breathtaking upper veranda create lustrous outdoor retreats for a coffee and newspaper read. Rooms are fresh and modern and many have private balconies. There's a restaurant, rooftop bar, and pool on-site. Located at the gateway to Summerville, a hilltop neighborhood of summer homes dating to 1800, the inn was built in 1910 on the foundation of a home dating to 1836.
