ATLANTA
The Atlanta Braves and Omni Hotels & Resorts are partnering to develop a new hotel in the mixed-used development adjacent to SunTrust Park in Cobb County.
The new Omni property will be a full-service hotel and will serve as a cornerstone of the mixed-use community, and will feature 16 floors, approximately 260 guest rooms and suites, rooftop hospitality suites, approximately 12,500 square feet of meeting space, an elevated pool deck and bar overlooking the plaza and ballpark, and a signature restaurant.
The hotel will serve meeting groups and business and leisure travelers alike, as well as visitors attending Braves games, and the other events and activities hosted at the mixed-use development. Guests may also enjoy the retail and dining establishments adjacent to the hotel.
Located on the 60-acre mixed-use development site, at the northwest intersection of I-75 and I-285 at Cobb Parkway, the new community aims to redefine the traditional model of “live, work, play” into a “play, work, stay” destination. The community will also feature residences and office space, an entertainment venue, retail and a variety of dining options. The overall layout and design respects and embraces the natural topography of the property, using abundant green space to blend park-like settings with a distinctive urban environment.
The area will be powered by an all-fiber network, which will be the highest-capacity network serving any ballpark and mixed-use community in the nation, capable of delivering multi-gigabit speeds throughout the entire development.
Ground was broken on SunTrust Park in September 2014; The Omni is expected to break ground later this year.
