Signia by Hilton Debuts Flagship Hotel in Downtown Atlanta

ATLANTA (Jan. 12, 2024) – Today, Hilton [1] (NYSE: HLT) announced the
highly anticipated opening of the 976-room Signia by Hilton Atlanta [2],
marking the first new build and Georgia hotel for the Signia by Hilton
brand, and Atlanta’s largest ground-up hotel development project in 40
years. Inclusive of the property’s debut, Atlanta represents Hilton’s
largest market globally by number of hotels with a portfolio of 136
hotels across 13 brands welcoming travelers to the destination. In
Atlanta, Hilton also has a pipeline of more than 40 hotels in various
stages of design and construction.

Poised to become a signature landmark and economic catalyst on the
city’s west side, Signia by Hilton Atlanta is owned by Georgia World
Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) [3] and forms part of the Authority’s
Championship Campus, North America’s largest combined convention,
sports, and entertainment destination, which also includes Georgia World
Congress Center, Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Centennial Olympic Park.
Built on the repurposed foundation of the Georgia Dome, the hotel
features eight food and beverage experiences; a spa, beauty bar, rooftop
pool and fitness center; more than 100,000 square feet of flexible
meeting space, including the largest hotel ballroom in Georgia; a grand
outdoor event deck and lawn; and Club Signia.

“Signia by Hilton offers the world’s best meetings and events, a vibrant
atmosphere, exceptional amenities and personalized service catered to
the needs of today’s global traveler,” said Chris Nassetta, president
and CEO, Hilton. “We are excited to introduce this brand to our
extensive portfolio in Atlanta, a dynamic destination that continues to
play an important role in Hilton’s growth, and are proud of the positive
impact this hotel will have on the community through local job creation
partnerships and incremental convention and leisure business.”

“Signia by Hilton Atlanta complements our vision for a compact and
connected campus featuring a package of facilities unrivaled in any city
in the United States,” said Frank Poe, executive director of Georgia
World Congress Center Authority. “More importantly, it is a cornerstone
of a strategy centered on aligning GWCCA with the evolving needs of its
customers while putting Atlanta on the shortlist for the most
prestigious live events the industry has to offer.”

“The addition of Signia by Hilton to the GWCCA’s portfolio of venues
further strengthens its status as one of the premier destinations in the
world for conventions, sports events, and entertainment,” said Governor
Brian Kemp. “As Georgia prepares to welcome iconic events and continues
experiencing record-breaking economic growth in the years ahead, this
facility is well-positioned to remain a key economic driver for our
state. Tourism and the hospitality industry remain some of the largest
industries in Georgia, and today’s announcement is another reminder of
the Peach State’s success in these key areas.”

Sophisticated Design
Signia by Hilton Atlanta was developed by Boston-based Drew Company,
with Gensler as the architect and interior designer, and a joint venture
between Skanska and SG Contracting as the general contractor. As the
tallest building on the west side of Atlanta, the 42-story, 1.25 million
square foot property is enveloped in wall-to-wall glass, offering
panoramic views of downtown Atlanta, an inspiring and curated art
collection, and inviting spaces.

All guest rooms at Signia by Hilton Atlanta offer spectacular
floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views and reflect the warmth and
refinement of Southern luxury, featuring a combination of earth
toned-fabrics, rich wood and rattan textures, and brass finishes. The
colors and materials are inspired by the building’s unique location in
the city, paying homage to some of the most historically important and
culturally significant neighborhoods in Atlanta. Shades of amber, deep
brown, soft beige, and slate blue evoke a subtle sophistication, while
black and metallic details bring an understated modern twist. Together,
these design elements invite guests to celebrate the distinguished style
of Southern hospitality through a timeless look that is both stylish and
functional.
