01 Oct Partridge Inn Named One of the Top Haunted Hotels in the South
To kickoff spooky season, StyleBlueprint, is exploring haunted hotels in the South. In this feature article, NorthPointe’s historic Partridge Inn was bestowed the honor of being named one of the four most famous “haunted” hotels in the South.
“The Partridge Inn has welcomed celebrities, dignitaries, presidents, revelers, and vacationers since its opening in 1910. Located in the historic Summerville district of Augusta, the hotel has close ties to the Masters Tournament and is known across the South for its joyful celebrations, its iconic front porch, and its impeccable Southern hospitality. But not all guests there are paying — one century-old patron walks the halls with a heartbreaking story.
Emily, as she’s become known, was one of Augusta’s most revered beauties, and on her wedding day, she primped and preened at The Partridge Inn. She prepared herself to walk down the aisle in an impressive custom dress and stunning veil. This was to be the wedding of the year — or possibly the century — in Augusta.
However, as she placed the veil upon her head in her final moments as a single woman, she received the news that her fiancé had just been murdered in a case of mistaken identity. Heartbroken, she never moved on and never married — and today, guests still spot her wandering the halls in her wedding gown.
The Partridge Inn makes the best of its otherworldly resident and has embraced Emily with a signature cocktail in her name, to honor her memory. It consists of Botanist gin, butterfly pea flower tea, fresh lemon juice, and blueberry-and-lavender-infused simple syrup.”
