What it is

The Candler Hotel Atlanta, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, fills the historic Candler Building at 127 Peachtree Street NE. Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler built the 17-story Beaux-Arts high-rise in 1906, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Architects George Stewart and George E. Murphy designed it, and it reopened as a hotel in the summer of 2019 after a restoration. The hotel has 265 guest rooms and suites, a library, and a complimentary business center and fitness center. Downtown Atlanta Inc. notes the hotel holds a MICHELIN Key.
