Downtown Atlanta is about to get a little more glamorous! Just around the corner from the Georgia World Congress Center at the intersection of Marietta and Spring Streets is the future home of the Glenn Hotel, Downtown Atlanta's first modern boutique hotel. The building was constructed in 1923 as an office building and is scheduled to open in January 2006 as the freshly renovated hotel. Proclaiming itself a combination of Miami chic and New York vogue grounded in Southern hospitality, the Glenn Hotel will add 110 rooms and suites to this growing end of downtown. Located just yards from CNN Center, Philips Arena, the Georgia Dome, Centennial Olympic Park , the Georgia Aquarium and new World of Coke, the  city's newest hotel is situated in the perfect spot to offer accommodations to business travelers as well as tourists.

Don't be surprised if you see celebrities there as well. The Glenn has teamed up with restaurant group BED to create a restaurant combining three dining floors and a rooftop lounge with views of the downtown skyline. BED, which has opened restaurants in Miami and New York, is known to attract celebrities for its blend of décor, cuisine and style.

The hotel's designer rooms will have details that are sure to please any visitor. Georgia marble, local heart pine floors and furnishings that blend traditional southern style with contemporary flair will fill the building. The décor will also include uniquely designed rugs, warm colors and photography by Atlanta artists.

Watch this corner of Marietta Street come to life as the Glenn is transformed over the next few months. For more information please visit www.glennhotel.com.
