Built in 1892 to attract winter visitors from the north, the Windsor was a 100-room, five story Victorian structure complete with towers, balconies, and a three story open atrium lobby. It occupies nearly an entire city block, and was the site of numerous balls and celebrations. The Windsor opened its doors in the early 1879s, but recently underwent a $5.8 million restoration which returned the historic structure to its original grandeur.  Its grand opening celebration was attended by former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, as well as many former guests who returned to the old hotel to relive its good old days.  Visitors can now stay in any of 53 period style rooms with all modern amenities.  No two rooms in the Windsor are exactly the same, so each room has its own warmth and style.

A private staircase leads to the Bridal Suite, which features a custom made demi-canopied king bed. Optional special touches are available at additional costs for honeymooners spending the night in the Bridal Suite. Optional special touches may include roses, goblets, a bottle of champagne or other requested amenities. The suite has accommodated various famous and infamous guests. It is rumored that John Dillinger or Al Capone spent the night in the Suite with an armed bodyguard posted at the foot of the stairs.

The Windsor Hotel is located 38 miles north of Albany, 60 miles southeast of Columbus, and 130 miles south of Atlanta. Plains, Georgia, home of President Jimmy Carter is nine miles from Americus, and Andersonville National Historic Site is only a fifteen minute drive.
