About Company:

Hotel Phoenix rises at "Mile 0," the historic terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railway and the very location of Atlanta's founding.

Hotel Phoenix is a bold, unapologetic statement of forward-looking confidence. It is the hotel Centennial Yards and downtown Atlanta deserves - a future-reaching hospitality experience inspired by the unique character, culture, and heritage of its location.
