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) 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.
Upon entering Signia by Hilton Atlanta, guests can expect an
impressive sense of arrival and personalized service from check-in

and naturally lit lobby, adorned with elevated fixtures and
furniture that is stylish and comfortable, the perfect place for

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.
