Kimpton Sylvan Hotel

A garden-flanked 1952 high-rise transformed into an artful 217-room boutique hotel, with an al fresco pool, evening social hour, loaner bikes, and a locally beloved rooftop bar.

Just for bipeds. Kimpton hotels famously cater to pets with fluffy dog beds, bowls, and even concierge advice on pooch-friendly restaurants.

They’ve thought of every luxury at this art-stocked Kimpton outpost, where rooms of every type are fitted with Frette linens, Bluetooth speakers, Atelier Bloem toiletries, and yoga mats. Options start at a cozy 265 square feet for an Essential 1 King; upgrade to a Premium 1 King with City View for a 360 square foot floor plan and a birdseye panorama of Atlanta’s particularly glittering skyline. Either way, you’ll find your room Instagram-ready, with Art Deco-inspired flourishes like rounded mirrors and graphic avocado-hued tile. Don’t miss a throwback dinner at The Betty, a supper club where dishes like beef cheek stroganoff and baby beet salad with chicory and pistachio butter actually sing.

You love a rooftop bar at sunset, and this one, on the 9th floor, serves fancified comfort food—like BLT sliders and gouda and green chile-topped corn-dogs.

Hidden away in the hotel’s leafy garden courtyard, Willow Bar is sort of like the 1911 novel The Secret Garden, remade for adults. Where but here can you sip a white peach bellini or strawberry infused aperol spritz in a palm-shrouded nook?
