Abstract


This 70-storey hotel has been constructed to meet the requirements of the city of Atlanta which needed a building with a sufficient room capacity and adequate premises for Conventions. On a structure of reinforced concrete which serves as a base and in which the common areas are situated rises a big cylindric tower, covered with coloured glass and which contains the 1.100 rooms. 230 m above ground level, the construction is crowned with a roof top cocktail lounge and a revolving restaurant with a splendid view of the city. Among the most noteworthy characteristics of this hotel is the elegantly decorated entrance hall —atrium shaped and 7 storeys high— with a pond in the centre. Further premises worth mentioning in view of their design and dimensions are the great ball room, coffee-shops and luxurious restaurants, one of which is planned in different levels and in which the most impressive feature is a 30 m high waterfall.
