It is now stylish to be look down and out in the ATL
Next time you are gazing at the Atlanta sky line, know that the truly stylish and hip are looking down on you. The roof tops of the city are sporting the latest trend, beautiful chic bars, forget the decks and side walk dining, the sky’s the limit. This was made evident to me last night while imbibing at the beautiful roof of the “W” Buckhead on Peachtree Street. After taking a glass walled, carpeted elevator, sporting a comfortable eight foot sofa, for a leisurely ride to the roof, my group exited and walked down a glass hallway with beautiful plantings into the bar. The interior of the bar is quite nice but the floor to ceiling glass offered views of the wonderful seating areas outside and the comfortable conversation areas. This spot is a must!
The Glenn Hotel at110 Marietta Street is another spot offering beautiful views of the downtown skyline and Centennial Park from its eleventh floor roof terrace. Whereas the “W” is very contemporary, the Glenn roof nods more to the cabana style with large reclining chaises and giant umbrellas.
For social networking, the roof bar at the Hotel Palomar is a must. The bar draws a very hip, mixed Midtown crowd.
Other honorable mentions go to the “W” Midtown for its contemporary event space offering excellent views of the city. The Peachtree Club offers views of Piedmont park and the ever increasingly beautiful midtown skyline. If you are into 360 degree views while sitting you may want to give the battered Westin’s Sundial a turn. For old time’s sake there is Nikolai’s Roof for dining.
So, the next time you are thinking of a night out consider getting “up” for a good time.
