The Hilton Atlanta has completed a multimillion-dollar transformation of its 1,242 guestrooms and its 119,000 square feet of meeting space, as well as its lobby and atrium areas, food and beverage outlets, and fitness facilities, it announced last week.
Soaring 20 feet above street level, a sky bridge now connects the hotel to the Marriott Marquis. The first sky bridge of its kind in downtown Atlanta, it will allow meeting attendees to easily access the facilities at both downtown Atlanta hotels, which combined have 2,800 rooms and 279,000 square feet of meeting space.
As part of its renovation, the Hilton Atlanta's portion of that meeting space was updated with a new color palette and cutting-edge technology — including touch screen readerboards and built-in projection screens — and expanded with the addition of a new third-floor executive conference room center. Created by relocating staff offices to the main floor, the move provided an additional 3,000 square feet of meeting space to the facility.
A new eco-friendly option for groups, the conference center features green initiatives to help reduce the hotel's environmental impact, including the use of nontoxic and biodegradable cleaning products; a recycling program for plastic, paper and aluminum; and a composting program for food waste.
The 18,000-square-foot ballroom also has undergone a total transformation with new wall coverings and accessories.
Meanwhile, the hotel has added three newly renovated sky lounges, redesigned its front desk, opened a new Southern-style restaurant and quick-service café, and completely renovated each of its guestrooms and baths.
