Comprehensive remodel follows full window replacement and environmental upgrades.
Westin Peachtree Plaza is undergoing a $45 million transformation, the hotel announced in a press release Tuesday.
The current renovation features completely redesigned guest rooms and hallways. It also incorporates a $2 million update to the six suites located on the 69th and 70th floors, including the two-story Chairman and Presidential suites.
This makeover follows the recent replacement of all 6,350 windows in the hotel, located at 210 Peachtree St., and a $13 million environmental upgrade of the heating and cooling system to promote sustainability.
The guest rooms and suites, designed by Atlanta architecture firm, Cooper Carry and Atlanta interior designer, Carolyn Auguer of Blackdog Studio, are inspired by the classical forms of Art Deco, according to the release.
The renovation includes the addition of five guest rooms, bringing the total available rooms to 1,073. The guest accommodations feature new carpet, paint and wallpaper, new “Heavenly Bed” duvets (feather-filled duvet inserts and duvet covers) boudoir pillows and bed skirts, new ergonomic desk chairs, lamps, phones, environmentally-friendly climate controls, 42” flat screen televisions, new window treatments, “Heavenly Showers,” and resurfaced bathroom tiles and surfaces.
The Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View is also slated to undergo a $3 million renovation in the coming months, the release notes.
Completed in 1976, the 36-year-old, John-Portman designed hotel was celebrated as the tallest hotel in the world and tallest building in Atlanta.
Though other international hotels have overtaken the building in size, it remains America’s tallest hotel with 73 stories.
The hotel has hosted more than 3 million guests including celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, James Brown, Andy Rooney, Peter Jennings and many more. Most recently, Vice President Joe Biden selected the hotel for his Atlanta stay.
