The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett, a new hotel located on the campus of the Gas South District near Duluth, Georgia, last week celebrated its official topping off. A significant milestone, the 11-story, 348-room hotel is on track for a grand opening in the spring of 2024.
With 12 event rooms totaling more than 27,000 square feet, the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett will serve as a premier venue for social and corporate events. The property's expert catering team will leverage deep event planning expertise, customizing unforgettable event menus, including scratch made passed appetizers, elevated multi-coursed plated dinners, market style buffets, and chef attended action stations. The hotel's event space is flexible, with the ability to host groups up to 800 attendees. Two hospitality suites will be available, as well, featuring outdoor terraces, including one presidential suite with a private terrace, four executive suites and six standard suites.
Additional hotel amenities include a Starbucks, two restaurants, an indoor pool, a fitness center and an outdoor fire pit. Overstory, an elegantly appointed rooftop bar, will offer a selection of elevated craft cocktails created by an expert mixologist, using only the freshest ingredients and inspired by folklore, tall tales and stories told around the campfire. Menus at all of the hotel's food and beverage venues will reflect the seasonal offerings of the south, with a strong emphasis on local and sustainable ingredients. The food scene will feature an eclectic mix of bold shareable plates and large-format offerings. With three serving locations, Overstory is an ideal venue to accommodate hundreds of guests for private events.
The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett is situated within the 118-acre campus of the Gas South District, which includes the newly renovated Gas South Convention Center, Gas South Arena, Gas South Theater and the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning. With a convenient location, hotel guests can easily access the District's numerous venues and events, all within walking distance.
"We are delighted with the ongoing development of this outstanding hotel and look forward to contributing to the success of Gas South District as a premier meetings, event and entertainment destination," said Mark Laport, President and CEO of Concord Hospitality Enterprises, the developer and future operator of the hotel.
"On behalf of the entire Marriott team, I am thrilled that we are on track for a grand opening in 2024," said Lisa Sexton, Vice President, Full Service Hotel Development, for Marriott International. "We look forward to welcoming the very first guests at our beautiful new Westin hotel next spring."
The development of the Westin is led by Raleigh-based Concord Hospitality and joint venture general contractor WM. A. Randolph Inc. and Shell McElroy Construction Company.
