All eyes will be set on Atlanta this June as The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead, owned by Host Hotels & Resorts, officially unveils its multi-million-dollar transformation.
The Whitley’s renovation includes a redesign of all 507 rooms (including 56 suites) and a remodelled reception and lobby area that reflects a traditional Southern front porch. In addition, a 5,000-square-foot Legacy Ballroom has been recently added with space for 300 guests, Trade Root Restaurant and Lounge has been renovated and its menu updated to include more Southern-inspired dishes and handcrafted cocktails, and The Spa is being restored to enhance the guest experience with the addition of a Himalayan salt room and expanded dressing areas.
The expanded lobby includes millwork panels and a blue ceiling above the registration desks modelled after a Southern home in addition to areas for reading, learning, relaxing or mingling. Every room is appointed with rich mahogany hardwood floors, Italian marble vanities, luxury Frette linens, Byredo bath products, refreshment centres, honour bars and The Luxury Collection feather beds with 400-thread-count linens. Guestrooms include a modern porch-like theme with woven raffia headboards, contemporised dogwood emblems, blue ceilings, and flora and fauna accents.
