The Partridge Inn Augusta: points prices, rooms and Diamond perks (2026)

Last updated October 13, 2026

I haven’t stayed here yet, so this guide uses Hilton’s property page, award prices and published guest reviews, with property details checked October 5, 2026.

This is a points and booking guide to The Partridge Inn Augusta, a Curio Collection by Hilton property in Augusta, Georgia. It covers what a night costs in Hilton Honors points, the room types, what Gold and Diamond members get and how to book direct with Hilton.

Why The Partridge Inn matters for Hilton members

The Partridge Inn Augusta is the only Curio in Augusta and the most characterful Hilton in the city by a wide margin. If you want to spend or earn Hilton points in Augusta and you also want a historic building with real Southern character, this is the property that delivers both.

The verandas are the signature. Roughly a quarter-mile of connected porches and balconies wrap the building, and many rooms open onto them. Few hotels in the Hilton portfolio offer this much outdoor living space, and on a mild Georgia evening the verandas are the reason to book The Partridge Inn Augusta over a standard chain hotel.

Location matters here in 2 very different ways. For 51 weeks of the year it is a quiet Summerville base about 2 miles from downtown and 1.8 miles from Augusta National. For 1 week in April it is some of the most sought-after lodging in American golf, which is why the rate math swings so hard.

For points travelers, the value case is strong outside of April. Award nights run in a normal range, cash rates are low for most of the year, and you get a historic property with character that you cannot find in a limited-service Hilton. Earning or burning points here is a good deal almost every week of the year.

History and architecture, briefly

The Partridge Inn Augusta traces its roots to an 1800s private home that Morris Partridge bought around 1900 and expanded into a hotel, formally opened in 1910 with additions through the 1920s. It survived a near demolition in the 1980s and was restored, and it is a member of the National Trust Historic Hotels of America.

It joined Curio Collection by Hilton in 2015, which brought the building into the Hilton Honors program while keeping its historic character. The rooms are individually decorated with antique-reproduction furnishings, so no 2 are quite alike, and the public spaces keep their early-1900s feel.

The defining feature is the porches. The quarter-mile of verandas and balconies wraps 5 floors, and the building steps up the Hill so the upper porches catch a view over Summerville. This is the part of The Partridge Inn Augusta that a new-build hotel cannot copy.

Rooms: book these, skip these

Rooms vary more here than at a typical chain because the building is historic and individually decorated. Square footage and layout differ from room to room, so the category name tells you less than usual; the balcony and veranda access is the thing to chase, and it is worth a call to the hotel to ask which rooms have it.

Book

• Balcony or veranda suite, upper floor. The rooms with private balcony or direct veranda access are the reason to stay. Upper floors catch the Summerville view, and the outdoor space is what sets The Partridge Inn Augusta apart. Ask for one when you book direct.
• Superior suite. 2 queens or a king with a separate sitting area and a sleeper sofa, a good fit for a family or for a stay of more than 2 nights when you want room to spread out.
• 4-bedroom penthouse. The largest layout in the building, worth it only for a group or a special occasion, but a memorable option if you are traveling with several people during a non-Masters week.

Skip

• Interior or parking-facing lower rooms. Same historic charm inside, but no balcony and no view. On a stay here the veranda and the Summerville outlook are the upgrade, so a viewless lower room gives up the best part of the hotel.
• Any room booked sight-unseen during Masters week. Rates run past $1,000 a night with multi-night minimums in April, and the cheapest rooms still cost a fortune. If you are coming for the tournament, book the best room you can, because you are paying a premium either way.
• Rooms booked through an opaque third-party site. You lose Hilton Honors points, Diamond benefits, and the balcony request. Book direct to keep the room request and the veranda on the table.

Dining

Dining at The Partridge Inn Augusta centers on 1 full restaurant and bar with veranda and rooftop seating, which suits the building. Downtown Augusta’s restaurants are a short drive away when you want more range.

• The 8595 Restaurant and Bar. The main restaurant, serving modern Southern cooking with locally sourced ingredients for breakfast and dinner. It is named for the building’s history and is the easiest sit-down option without leaving the property.
• Veranda and rooftop seating. The 8595 spills onto the verandas and a rooftop bar with views over Summerville and toward Augusta. On a mild evening this is the best seat in the building for a drink.
• Lobby bar. A smaller spot for a coffee in the morning or a nightcap, handy when the rooftop and verandas are full during a busy weekend.

Breakfast at the 8595 is not automatically included, so Diamond and Gold members should put the daily food and beverage credit toward it. Over 2 nights it covers most of a single sit-down breakfast for 2.

If you want range, downtown Augusta along Broad Street is about 2 miles away with a cluster of restaurants and bars, and it is a short drive from the hotel.

One planning note for the rooftop and verandas: they are best in spring and fall, and they fill up on warm weekends. Get to the 8595 early for a veranda table on a busy night, and ask the front desk whether the rooftop is open, since it can close for private events during peak weeks.

Hilton Honors strategy

Cash rates by season

Cash rates at The Partridge Inn Augusta are reasonable for most of the year and then go vertical for the Masters. Augusta’s hotel market is calm most of the time and historically tight during the first full week of April.

• Winter and summer low: roughly $130 to $210 a night. The softest stretches of the year and the best time to pay cash.
• Fall and university events: roughly $200 to $300 around Augusta University events and fall weekends, with steady but manageable demand.
• Spring outside Masters: roughly $230 to $320 in the pleasant non-tournament weeks of spring, a fair time to use a free night certificate.
• Masters week in April: $1,000 a night or more with multi-night minimums, often sold as packages. This is the one week to plan around.

Award rates and Aspire/Surpass certificate value

Award nights at The Partridge Inn Augusta run roughly 50,000 to 80,000 points for a standard room outside of Masters week. Hilton prices awards by demand, so the points number tracks the cash rate.

Masters week is the exception. Standard award nights are typically blacked out or unavailable, and the hotel sells cash packages instead, so do not count on points or a free night certificate for the tournament. The rest of the year the math is normal: compare the points cost to the cash rate and book whichever clears 0.5 cents per point or better.

• Off-peak nights: skip the points. Cash is cheap enough that redeeming wastes your balance.
• Spring and fall dates: a coin flip. Compare the points cost to the cash rate and book whichever clears 0.5 cents per point or better.
• Masters week: points usually do not work. Expect a cash package, and book it as far ahead as you can.

Diamond benefits, specifically

Diamond members get the daily food and beverage credit, which works at the 8595. Because breakfast is not automatically included, the credit is the most useful benefit on a stay here, and on 2 nights it covers most of 1 breakfast for 2.

Space-available upgrades at The Partridge Inn Augusta tend to move you toward a balcony room or a suite, which is exactly the upgrade you want here. On a quiet weekday your odds are good; during Masters week there are no space-available upgrades because the hotel is sold out and sold as packages.

There is no executive lounge, so the food and beverage credit and the verandas are the substitute. For a historic hotel of this size that is a fair trade, and the porches give you a better evening space than most lounges would.

Per-stay value math

Here is the per-stay math for a typical 2-night booking at The Partridge Inn Augusta on a normal (non-Masters) weekend, paying cash as a Diamond member.

• 2 nights at about $170 a night: $340 before tax.
• Augusta and Georgia lodging taxes add roughly 13 percent: about $44.
• Parking at about $25 a night: $50 for 2 nights.
• Daily food and beverage credit as a Diamond member: $15 per person a night, so $60 for 2 guests across 2 nights at the 8595.
• All in, expect roughly $385 to $400 for 2 nights with parking, before food beyond the credit.

Best and worst months to book

Best months to book The Partridge Inn Augusta on cash are the winter and the heart of summer, when rates sit at their annual low and Augusta is quiet. Spring and fall weekends are pleasant and a bit pricier, and they are the windows where a free night certificate pulls solid value.

The one week to plan around is the Masters, the first full week of April. Rates run past $1,000 a night with multi-night minimums, the hotel sells packages, and award stays are blacked out. If you are not coming for golf, avoid that week entirely.

If you are coming for the Masters, book as far ahead as humanly possible. Tournament-week lodging in Augusta sells out months out, and the inn is one of the most requested addresses in town because it is close to the course and full of character.

For everyone else, the takeaway is simple: this is a strong year-round value with one expensive exception. Book it freely from May through March, lean on a free night certificate in spring and fall, and treat the first week of April as a separate decision that depends entirely on whether you want to be at the Masters.

Trade-offs

Masters week pricing is the obvious catch. For 1 week in April The Partridge Inn Augusta is among the most expensive lodging you can book in the city, and points do not help. Plan your trip around that week unless the tournament is the point.

It is a historic building, so the usual trade-offs apply. Rooms vary in size and layout, some are small, the elevators are period, and the quirks that give the hotel character also mean it is not a uniform modern product. If you want predictable big-box rooms, this is not it.

There is no full-service spa, and the pool is seasonal and outdoor, so the amenity set is lighter than some Curios. The verandas, the restaurant, and the fitness center cover most needs, but plan accordingly if a spa day or year-round pool matters to you.

It is not walkable to much. Summerville is residential, so downtown Augusta and most restaurants are a short drive. Plan on a car or rideshare for dinner and sightseeing away from the hotel.

3 Curio alternatives if The Partridge Inn is sold out

• Hotel Phillips Kansas City. If you want a historic Curio in a walkable downtown, Phillips is the closest match in character and brand currency.
• The Chattanoogan Hotel. A full-service Curio a few hours away in Chattanooga with a spa and an indoor pool, a good pick if you want more amenities than a historic inn offers.
• Hotel Fraye Nashville. A newer lifestyle Curio with a rooftop pool, for travelers who would rather have a modern design-led room than a historic one.
