Description: There is a reason why this Four Seasons is the preferred address for dignitaries and stars when visiting Atlanta. In the three-story lobby, light from the 10-foot-high Baccarat chandelier plays across the rose-colored Spanish marble walls around the broad grand staircase. A lounge on the mezzanine serves cocktails and afternoon high tea. Park 75 is a sit-down, white-tablecloth restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner from early morning until 11:00 p.m. every day. The menu is “international with a Southern flair.” The ballroom showcases a skyline view from its 6,000-square-foot open terrace. The health club boasts the latest exercise equipment, and its gorgeous indoor lap pool suggests a Roman bath. The hotel occupies the first 20 floors of the striking 51-story skyscraper designed by the Atlanta firm Rabun Hatch & Associates. The remaining floors are occupied by offices and luxury condos.
