Downtown Atlanta Hotel History
Designed by renowned architect, John Portman, the 1,260-room Hyatt Regency Atlanta was the first atrium hotel in the world. Rooted in the history of Atlanta and America, the Hyatt Regency Atlanta was a base for Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, and has hosted some of the most famous Americans of the past century, from Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin to every U.S. president from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. Today, the Hyatt Regency Atlanta is one of America's premier hotel, convention and tradeshow facilities offering luxury accommodations and gracious hospitality to our valued guests.Refreshed, Restored & Reinvented in Downtown Atlanta
The Hyatt Regency Atlanta completed a $65 million transformation in 2011, resulting in a modernization of our downtown Atlanta hotel's guestrooms, dining and event facilities. The upgrade focused on our elegant Centennial Ballroom, the spectacular Atrium lobby and entryway, Atrium Tower guestrooms, Twenty-Two Storys - our new lobby lounge, and Sway - our imaginative new hotel restaurant. This major transformation speaks to our commitment to hospitality service, ensuring the Hyatt Regency Atlanta maintains its status as an innovative and important downtown Atlanta hotel destination for years to come.
