The house
HiltonBotanical Midtown stage
The hotel is an energetic social stage, where floral accents and woodland motifs surround an active lobby of live music and cocktails.
“You may walk in on any manner of party in the hotel's lobby—a vast, long rectangle with multiple areas to drink, eat, listen to live music and DJs…”
What it’s good at
Notable
Elevators styled like wooded glens join golden birdcages and botanical wallpaper prints.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the top-end suites are pure interior-design maximalism, and even the relatively more humble rooms are alive with graphic prints and riotous color accents.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Politan Row food hall sits next door at Colony Square, and the High Museum of Art is five minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Forest-shadow wallpaper lines the walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows look straight out across Midtown and Piedmont Park.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The fifth-floor terrace pool catches morning sun above Midtown, lined with daybeds and shaded private cabanas.
The spa and gym
The spa has a steam room, sauna, and massage suites, beside a 24-hour gym with an Atlanta mural.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Lantana
The wraparound marble bar sits beneath floral ceiling prints, serving modern Southern plates and craft cocktails.
At the table
The Commons serves a daily morning breakfast buffet beneath vaulted ceilings and hanging fabric scrims.
How it began
Originally built in 1973, the tower was reimagined in 2022 after the flocking starlings of nearby Piedmont Park.
