Peachtree City, Georgia is a beautiful planned community that was chartered in 1959. Peachtree City has almost 32,000 residents.

Any Peach Tree City hotel would make the perfect home away from home while visiting this scenic, southern city.

One of the most distinctive features of Peachtree City is the abundance of paved paths throughout town. The city contains 90 miles of multi-use paths, encouraging citizens and visitors to get around by way of golf carts, bicycles, or on foot.

If a day out on the water is what you desire, there are three lakes in town. These are Lake Kedron, Lake Peachtree and Lake McIntosh and all three offer fishing, boating, swimming and water sports.

Peachtree City does have three golf courses, but it is important to know that they are not open to the general public. Guests of club members are allowed to enjoy the courses at Braelinn Club, Flat Creek Club and Planterra Ridge Club. For the disc golf player, there is a 9-hole course in the Village Green Park, which is open to the public from sunrise to sunset every day.

The Dixie Wing Museum displays airplanes from World War II and the Korean War, as well as aviation artifacts, models, military uniforms and a variety of military weapons. Visits should be scheduled in advance by phoning the museum but it is generally open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Music fans will be excited to know that The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, commonly referred to as "The Fred", hosts top name musical acts. Lawn seating, individual reserved seating and reserved table seating are all available.

While staying in any Peach Tree City hotel, once you've seen everything Peachtree City has to offer, a visit to the city of Atlanta may be in order. It's a mere 30 miles away, to the northeast.
