A glassy high-rise hotel serving one of the busiest convention centers in the world could soon begin construction downtown.
The proposed Signia Hilton Hotel is the most visible part of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority’s 2020 Vision master plan, a sweeping road map for the GWCC campus’s future.
Beginning in late April or early May—soon after the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament in Atlanta—the more than 30-story hotel is projected to kick off construction, a GWCCA spokesperson confirmed to Curbed Atlanta this week.
The Gensler-designed project is expected to feature 1,000 hotel rooms and about 75,000 square feet of meeting space for convention-goers, sports fans, and other visitors.
Flanked by Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Home Depot Backyard, the Orange Deck, Northside Drive, and the convention center’s Building C, the planned hotel would link to the GWCC by way of Building C at the Georgia Ballroom level.
Curbed attained renderings of Gensler’s vision for the hotel last spring that promise a sleek, posh aesthetic—an approach that seems to complement the still relatively new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Nearby, in Castleberry Hill, another Gensler-designed hotel is finishing construction.
The Reverb by Hard Rock hotel is now slated to deliver this summer. (Earlier plans had called for debuting the hotel in February, just before the big basketball tournament, developers said last year.)
That hotel stands 11 stories and is primed to offer 200 guest rooms, many of which will peer out at the stadium next door.
