Railroad-inspired downtown tower
The tower anchors a rising downtown district, translating Atlanta's railroad origins into tailored spaces of blackened steel and warm walnut.
What it’s good at
Notable
Railway-inspired leaning viaduct columns and a suspended Peter Gentenaar lobby paper sculpture.
Listed
Rooftop cocktails at Bless Your Heart overlooking Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the skyline.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Centennial Olympic Park is right outside, and game days bring crowds straight across to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The rooms
Warm wood millwork and clean metal lines furnish the bedrooms, paired with marble tile and quartz vanities.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers and wooden cabanas line the third-floor pool terrace, looking out toward downtown high-rises.
Bar
Bless Your Heart
A living plant wall backs the patterned tile counter, where bartenders pour craft cocktails and serve shared plates.
At the table
The lobby cafe bakes daily pastries beneath a split-flap board, and Bar Z pours drinks across fluted walnut.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from the phoenix on Atlanta's seal, marking the city's rebirth after the fires of 1864.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
