An Adaptive Reuse Hotel Embraces Atlanta’s Tree Canopy
On the roof, awash in the tree-freshened city air, the St. Julep lounge offers a bold, vibrant twist on the hotel’s color scheme, with an orange and blue mural staring out at Buckhead high-rises, complemented by craft cocktails and, among other fare, artisanal corn dogs.
Guest rooms are pet-friendly and continue the hotel’s earthy atmosphere in a design that references the building’s midcentury past. They feature pale green and gray millwork, plentiful tambour accents, Danish Modern–inspired furniture, and locally sourced artwork. Kimpton’s senior design director Diana Martinez says the philosophy behind the design was “to make the space feel very light” and reflect its verdant environs.
Goodrich principal Matthew Goodrich names another practical benefit of the updated design: “a lot more window than you’d find in a typical hotel room.”
