What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Its glass-tower setting notwithstanding, Kimpton Tryon Park is as warm, welcoming, and unpretentiously stylish as any of the other Kimpton hotels — complete with the brand’s signature nightly social hour.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Romare Bearden Park sits right across the street, and Truist Field is just a block away.
The rooms
Tall windows look out across the park or the city skyline. Inside, graphic carpets and chrome accents keep things crisp.
Gym and yoga deck
Cardio machines line the fourth-floor windows, and the fitness center opens directly onto an outdoor yoga deck.
Restaurant
Angeline's
House-made pastas and wood-fired pizzas lead the menu, served across the main dining room and an outdoor brick patio.
At the table
Nineteen floors up, Merchant & Trade pours craft drinks behind a glowing bar wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass.
