Over $15 Million in Guestrooms & Meeting Space
Hyatt Regency Atlanta is always looking for ways to enhance the quality of service offered to hotel guests. Beginning in the summer of 2008, Hyatt Regency is investing over $15 million in renovations and innovations to its guest room product, ballrooms and exhibit space. In addition, a pedestrian bridge that connects Hyatt and the Marriott Marquis will be installed.
The International Tower guestrooms will be undergoing a major renovation which begins this summer and will be complete in early 2009. The $9 million project will bring a stylish and sleek new look to the 333 International Tower guestrooms. The new room will be bathed in rich, chocolate wood colors and accented by cream and burnt orange and will include replacement of carpeting, wall coverings, furnishings, drapes, lighting, closets, and artwork in 310 guestrooms plus corridor renovations. Additionally, each room will be outfitted with a 37” LCD television. The bathrooms in the International tower will also receive a makeover including new wall coverings, mirrors and lighting, low flush toilets, new sinks, floors and energy saving thermostats.
In addition, the 9,150 square foot International Ballroom’s renovations will encompass all new finishes that include: carpet, wall coverings, new lighting, chandeliers and dimmer system, an art wall and a new sound and AV systems.
One of Atlanta’s largest hotel exhibit halls is also included in the renovations for 2008. The 40,000 square foot Grand Hall will feature new wall-to-wall carpeting, lighting, wall coverings, doors, re-designed entries and the addition of four 1,500 square-foot break-out rooms. The cost for this project is $2.6 million. Currently Grand Hall can accommodate 225 8’ x 10’ booths and 178 10’ x 10’ booths and divides into two sections for maximum flexibility. Convenient street access already provides for quick and cost efficient load in/load out. Grand Hall is located on the same floor as the 10,104 square-foot Hanover Hall. Together the two halls are connected via a 12-foot–wide hallway to provide more than 54,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, the most of any hotel in Atlanta, and allows for easy traffic flow for tradeshow attendees and variety of exhibit opportunities.
“Hyatt Regency Atlanta constantly strives to reinvent itself and take guest service to the next level,” said Joe Hindsley, general manager at Hyatt Regency Atlanta. “We hope to exceed guest expectations with these improvements and renovation projects.”
Hyatt Regency Atlanta, designed by Atlanta architect John Portman, was the first contemporary atrium hotel in the world. The concept of an atrium lobby began a revolution in the design of hotels, placing Hyatt Regency Atlanta in the forefront of the luxury hotel industry. When it opened in May of 1967, the hotel towered above the burgeoning Atlanta skyline. Though no longer the tallest building in Atlanta, Hyatt Regency Atlanta still remains a towering presence in the city.
