Modernist Buckhead quarters
Japanese pavilion design brings a quiet tempo to Buckhead, centered on a rooftop pool deck and lobby origami workshops.
Where it shines
Notable
Walnut-slatted wood panels and shoji-inspired wallpapers detail the residential Sake Suites.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Interiors are crisp and contemporary, but still warm and welcoming — hipper than the typical Atlanta luxury hotel, but never off-puttingly avant-garde.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Phipps Plaza's luxury shops sit right outside the door, with upscale Peachtree Road dining a short walk away.
The rooms
The top-floor Nobu Villa centers on a hand-painted grand piano and custom artwork, alongside suites styled with Porsche automotive memorabilia.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The year-round rooftop pool has heated saltwater and private cabanas that look out across the Buckhead skyline.
The gym
Technogym equipment and Peloton bikes fill the fitness center, which hosts scheduled semi-private strength training sessions.
Dogs stay too.
Nobu Atlanta Restaurant
Origami-inspired lantern fixtures hang over the dining room, where chefs prepare signature miso black cod and omakase tastings.
At the table
Drinks and afternoon bar bites are served beneath timber canopies beside a twelve-foot river rock art installation.
How it began
The property was built on the footprint of a former Belk department store as part of Phipps Plaza's modern overhaul.
