Hilton Atlanta, the 1,249-room landmark downtown hotel, unveils the completion of its multi-million-dollar redesign featuring upgraded guest rooms, meeting spaces and public areas. The refresh is the first of a three-phase renovation program slated to be completed by 2018.
Boasting 129,000 square feet of meeting space and increased internet bandwidth, the hotel"s second floor now houses two ballrooms – the Grand Salon and Grand Ballroom – and an impressive 23 breakout rooms on one level which allow groups to comfortably host multiple meetings. Targeting groups with visual projection demands, the reconfigured Grand Salon features newly expanded 22 feet of additional ceiling height and pillarless infrastructure. Maximizing flexibility and functionality, the redesigned Galleria Exhibit Hall provides additional breakouts and meeting spaces.
A private check-in desk was designed with large groups in mind to offer a centralized hub for group check-ins and registration. Adjacent is a more conveniently located 24-hour Marketplace Café that offers fresh sandwiches, salads and snacks, many of which are sourced by local vendors.
Designed by New York City-based architecture and interior design firm Stonehill & Taylor, the hotel"s newly unveiled design honors Atlanta"s aesthetic, culture and history. Subtle nods of 70"s-inspired décor like brass fixtures and bold patterns are peppered throughout public spaces and guestrooms as a tribute to the iconic decade in which the hotel made its debut.
