High above Peachtree, nestled between steel and glass high-rises, visitors find something special: A building that houses some of Atlanta’s most elite travelers. The lobby soars with fashion-forward design, floored in teal and slate and dotted with elegantly curving seats. The Hyatt Regency’s blue dome is a landmark in downtown Atlanta. This is a place where business people and couples go for a quiet slice of the good life. Guest rooms are everything Zen; brushed silver handles on the dresser echo the unfussy lines of the carefully tucked beige and blue bed linens. This placidity doesn’t mean the Hyatt Regency can’t throw a fete, however. The city’s largest ballroom awaits inside, an industrial deco showpiece with ultra-modern curving aqua chandeliers and bright wooden pillars set into masculine geometries. Evenings mean food, and the Regency does it better than just about anyone else. Try the explosive seafood at Avanzare, home to a dancing 1,800 gallon saltwater tank. Or head on down to Parasol for Atlanta’s biggest collection of unusual spirits – over 200 in all, jiggered and garnished by a sexy duo of bartenders. The Hyatt Regency’s downtown location makes it easy to get out and about, whether you want to visit CNN Center, the Martin Luther King Center, or the boutiques in Underground Atlanta, a belowground shopping complex.
