It is a three-story building with load-bearing brick construction that was deemed to be "a fine example of late nineteenth hotel design in a mid-sized Georgia town. Its Queen Anne style design and detailing are particularly outstanding for a hotel in a town of this size. In terms of commerce, the building is significant as an intact example of the hotels located in Georgia's county seats to serve local and county citizens with courthouse business, traveling salesmen (drummers) and out of town visitors."<ref name=nrhpdoc/>
It was designed by architects Golucke and Stewart. Its Queen Anne exterior detailing includes its "rich mixture of building materials, textures and forms...brick, stone, metal, a corner turret, a balcony, bay windows, stained glass, garlands and swags [that] are combined here in a lively yet coherent manner."<ref name=nrhpdoc>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=82000147}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Fitzpatrick Hotel |publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=January 19, 2017 |author=Carolyn Brooks |date=October 5, 1982 }} with {{NRHP url|id=82000147|photos=y|title=seven photos from 1982}}</ref>
