Frommer's Review
This elegant hotel is the one to choose if you're looking for luxurious surroundings and impeccable service in the heart of Atlanta's cultural area. Built in 1991 as the Grand Hotel Atlanta, it was acquired in the late '90s by Four Seasons, which immediately gave it a $65-million renovation.
Accommodations are lavish and sophisticated, with large windows, upholstered lounge chairs and sofas, and handsome Beidermeier-style furnishings. The gorgeous marble bathrooms have huge tubs perfect for soaking, and some have separate showers as well. Thirteen of the rooms have been modified to accommodate travelers with disabilities. Pets under 15 pounds are welcome and receive treats.
The hotel offers several amenities for children, including a gift upon arrival, board and video games, movies, and books. Infant supplies are available. For older kids, trips can be arranged to nearby attractions, such as the Center for Puppetry Arts, Children's Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and Fernbank Natural History Museum, which has an IMAX theater.
The Park 75 restaurant, open all day, serves New American cuisine, featuring the freshest goods from the local markets. Chef Robert Gerstenecker's incredibly creative contemporary dishes are matched well with executive pastry chef David Jeffries's artistic desserts. The atmosphere is modern, with Beidermeier furnishings and original oil paintings. The Park 75 Terrace, overlooking a three-story atrium, offers a garden-like setting for lunch, afternoon tea, and cocktails. The Park 75 Lounge serves cocktails, light fare, and a wide selection of single-malt scotches; there's a pianist each night. Complimentary coffee is served from 6 to 8am each morning in the lobby.
