Among the various attractions, the suites will be themed around the Georgia Aquarium, the College Football Hall of Fame and the Coca-Cola Company. There will also be three “Legacy Suites,” according to hotel officials, used to showcase the hotel’s “deep connection” to Atlanta.

In the future, the hotel will have “a collection of iconic suites celebrating Atlanta’s iconic attractions and landmarks, located in the heart of downtown Atlanta and close to the property.”

The hotel company also announced it is renovating 600 rooms inside its North Tower.

“This renovation and rebranding effort symbolizes our commitment to delivering unparalleled hospitality experiences while honoring the dynamic spirit of Atlanta. With refreshed accommodations and uniquely themed suites, we look forward to welcoming guests from near and far to indulge in the essence of our city,” said hotel General Manager Ramon Reyes.
