W Atlanta Downtown Hotel & Residences

The first VIPs touching down at Atlanta's first rooftop heliport February 11, 2009, will find the W Atlanta Downtown Hotel & Residences ready for business. The new 28-story tower holds 237 stylish guest rooms and suites separated by a Bliss spa, Sweat fitness center, and Wet infinity-edge pool from 76 condominiums on the upper levels.

Of special interest to meeting planners, the hotel's fourth floor holds a state-of-the-art conference center—nine flexible rooms and prefunction space geared for gatherings of 18 to 380. A dedicated meeting staff; audiovisual team; Wired, a 24-hour business center; and limousine service aim to handle every request while exceeding expectations. Management
promises the W brand's concierge policy—Whatever/Whenever—will apply to events of every size and purpose as well as personal requests.

W's spectacular new building reigns as the crown jewel of Allen Plaza, a nine-block, $1.95 billion mixed-use development at the heart of downtown Atlanta. Conveniently situated at the confluence of the city's Downtown Connector (crossroads of Interstate 75 and 85), Allen Plaza holds nearly 230,000 square feet of upscale dining and shopping opportunities, 1,300
residences, and 2.4 million square feet of office space. World-class wining and dining for guests will start with the hotel's cozy Living Room and bar, BLT Steak restaurant, and W Café. Leisure attractions within walking distance include the Georgia Aquarium, CNN Center, and new World of Coca-Cola Museum.
