New Perry Hotel is a historic hotel in Perry, Georgia, located at 800 Main Street. It consists of a three-story Neoclassical hotel built in 1925 and a one-story, eight-room Colonial Revival motel, which was built in 1955 and enlarged in 1959 with a pool and cabana. In 1947 a kitchen and banquet hall were built. Between 1955 and 1959 the rear lobby was converted into the motel office and a card room was built. The original full-height portico was altered in 1965. The round Tuscan columns were replaced by square Tuscan columns.[2]

It was designed by architects Dennis and Dennis; Davenport Guerry was the landscape architect.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 1, 2004.[1] The hotel closed about 2014.
