The iconic Georgian Terrace is the undisputed Grand Dame of Atlanta, a 20th-century Beaux-Arts beauty that’s deeply etched in the city’s heart, history, and Southern heritage. The epicenter of Midtown’s thriving arts scene, the hotel is a landmark of modern luxury and sophisticated Southern hospitality, inviting guests to ease into the city’s warm and welcoming embrace.
Built of brick and marble with floor-to-ceiling windows, The Georgian Terrace is a Southern interpretation of a Parisian hotel. Striking architectural details, crystal chandeliers, and a whisper-soft color palette create an atmosphere of timeless elegance in the Grand Ballroom, site of many notable gatherings throughout Atlanta history. Outdoor venues include the rooftop pool deck and the terrace at Livingstons, the hotel’s Southern-inspired locally sourced restaurant. Or for a fun evening, Edgar’s P&P, better known as the “community drinkery” offers those with a soft spot for barrel-aged cocktails and boldly imagined bar bites a venue unlike any other in Midtown Atlanta.
