Kimpton Hotels
& Restaurant Group
checks out of Midtown
Midtown’s Hotel Palomar will soon be re-branded as a Marriott Renaissance Hotel.
The 21-story Hotel Palomar Atlanta Midtown, a boutique hotel at 866 West Peachtree street, was recently acquired by Annapolis, Md. based, Thayer Lodging Group.
Thayer has replaced the hotel’s management firm, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurant Group, with Marriott International and sources close to the project confirmed that Hotel Palomar will reopen as a Marriott Renaissance Hotel.
“Hotel Palomar will be a Renaissance managed by Marriott International,” a highly placed Marriott insider told What Now Atlanta Friday.
The Hotel Palomar should expect to reopen as the Renaissance Hotel in “three to four months,” according to that same source.
As the result of Thayer dropping Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants for Marriott International, Pacci Ristorante, the hotel’s in-house restaurant is slated to close in March (story here).
“With a Marriott-branded hotel comes standardized dining to replace what was a unique and very consistent restaurant within a hotel,” said our Marriott insider.
The 304-room hotel began construction in 2007 and opened in 2009, run by Kimpton Hotels & Restaurant Group LLC.
Marriott International operated a Renaissance Atlanta Hotel Downtown but Sol Meliá Hotels and Resorts took over the management and flag of the 502-room hotel last October.
Marriott International dropped its Renaissance flag from the hotel on Sept. 30, 2010.
