This major convention hotel consists of 1,100 rooms and 80,000 square feet (7,400 sm) of meeting and exhibition facilities. The seven-story podium base of the hotel was exploded around the core that supports the tower to create a dynamic, 90-foot sky-lit lobby that incorporates art and other elements of nature, including trees and water, into its design. The podium provides space for functions and services such as registration, meeting areas, dining, and recreation.
The tower that ascends from the podium is a glass-clad, 73-story cylindrical guest room structure, topped with a multi-level revolving restaurant with spectacular views of metropolitan Atlanta. Accessing the restaurant is an exhilarating, scenic event, as patrons rise more than 70 stories in exterior glass elevator cabs. Other hotel amenities include a fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, cafes, and lounges.
