With its soaring 23 floors, 1,260 guest rooms and its famous blue dome, Hyatt Regency Atlanta has been one of the city’s major convention hotels. Designed in 1967 by famed Atlanta architect John Portman, its innovative 23-story atrium lobby created quite a stir and was the model not only for future downtown hotels in the city, but also for a number of hotels throughout the United States. With its $22-million renovation expenditures, it included the addition of new furnishings, new wall and floor coverings, new draperies, new lighting, new artwork, two restaurants, two lounges, and a fitness center featuring Stay Fit at Hyatt with brand new, state-of-the-art equipment. With newly renovated guest rooms, flexible meeting space and world class service, Hyatt Regency Atlanta is one of the city’s premier hotels in the Atlanta hotels list. Guest accommodation in the original 1967 building and in two later additions the 24-story International Tower and the 22-story Ivy Tower, have a contemporary flavor and feature the Hyatt’s “premium bedding” concept — beds are graced with pillow-top mattresses, high-thread-count sheets, and feather blankets. The functional and stylish bathrooms are also equipped with hair dryers and Portico bathroom amenities. This cheap Atlanta hotels member also features more meeting space than other hotel in Atlanta, and its Centennial Ballroom is the largest hotel ballroom in the state of Georgia. The main building’s 22nd floor houses the Regency Club accommodations, featuring a private concierge, lounge, continental breakfast, evening hors d’oeuvres, and plush robes. Business Plan rooms (equipped with personal work stations, in-room faxes, desk phones with computer jacks, and coffeemakers) are on the 21st floor. Business Plan guests get free local calls and other perks. The blue dome capping Polaris, the Hyatt’s revolving rooftop restaurant, is a landmark on the city’s skyline, but is closed for renovation through 2008.
