Planned Kimpton Condo-tel to 'Blow Away' Hotlanta
Kimpton Hotels continues the expansion of their flagship hotel, the Palomar, by announcing plans for a condo-hotel property in Atlanta.
Designed by the architecture firm of Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, the Palomar will house 38 condos -- four per floor -- beginning on the 17th floor. In addition to "sweeping views" and "a lot of glass," Palomar condos will have 10-foot ceilings, two-piece crown molding, top-of-the-line appliances and hardwood floors.
A signature restaurant will also open in the hotel which is expected to be completed in 2009.
That's a long ways away but developer Beau King said five of the condo units have already been sold, one of them to his mother. King also said the hotel will rival that of the Four Seasons nearby:
"The Kimpton brand, when it comes to Atlanta it's going to blow people away," King said.
In the meantime, the Hotel Palomar Dallas will open next month and another in Los Angeles is expected to open next summer. In other Kimpton news, they have just been tapped to manage the historic Morrison House Hotel in Alexandria, VA.
We just hope they keep their complementary WiFi in these new places.
