Atlanta, Georgia
Hotel District
Vibe
Porcelain flowers above a console and custom floral chairs bring a domestic touch to the historic marble lobby.
“Beaux Arts skyscraper reborn”
Pink marble reception and bathroom vanities connect airy modern rooms to treasures discovered beneath the building.
Asa Candler’s 1906 skyscraper preserves its original floor plan and mosaic flooring uncovered during conversion.
The lounge gathers office workers over evening cocktails, with fans in team colors enlivening game days.
On downtown Peachtree Street beside Woodruff Park, with Atlanta’s major attractions within easy reach.
“Its public spaces are proudly historical in style, while its rooms and suites are a contemporary tribute, and include subtle Southern details and luxury-hotel comforts;”
Rooms
Magnolia motifs and caned headboards bring Southern references into bedrooms with high ceilings. Almost every guest room has floor-to-ceiling windows.
Wellness
The fitness center has Peloton bikes for a cycling session between outings in downtown Atlanta.
“Entering the lobby, the sweeping marble staircase with original reliefs immediately catches my eye… followed by the colorful Tiffany windows.”
Backstory

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
