ATLANTA, GA – September 17, 2021 – The highly-anticipated Epicurean Atlanta, Midtown’s only food and wine-centric hotel, is now welcoming guests. The urban chic hotel is a member of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection and the second location of the Epicurean Hotel brand, a collaboration between Mainsail Lodging & Development and the legendary Bern’s Steak House in Tampa, Fl. As one of three towers located in the 1105 West Peachtree property by Selig Development, Epicurean Atlanta will offer discerning travelers and locals alike unparalleled experiences for all tastes and appetites.
“It is my great privilege to officially invite guests and locals alike to experience Epicurean Atlanta. Our dynamic team joins an already impressive lineup of design, arts and culinary superstars in Midtown,” says Mainsail Lodging & Development president and founder Joe Collier. “It is our hope that Epicurean Atlanta provides the kind of unique and superior culturally-enriching adventure of the senses that patrons of the city have become accustomed to.”
DINING:
Epicurean Atlanta is anchored by three innovative dining concepts, all led by Executive Chef Ewart Wardhaugh. Originally from Scotland, Wardhaugh’s culinary prowess has awarded him prestigious international appointments throughout his career.
At Reverence, the hotel’s signature restaurant, Chef Wardhaugh looks to combine his global experience with the very best of the region’s producers and ingredients, creating synergy between dishes and promising a hint of exploration in every bite. The 2,886 square-foot space is outfitted with rich wood tones and luxurious textures for seating up to 127-guests with an expansive patio facing West Peachtree Street. Beverage Manager Arthur Huynh worked alongside Bern’s Steak House’s renowned team of sommeliers to present a selection of offerings that flawlessly pair alongside the flavor profiles of Chef Ewart’s well-traveled cuisine. The wine program features 136 bottles as well as 26 by-the-glass options, with an emphasis on single-vineyard pinot noirs for their ability to translate a true sense of place and terroir.
Located in the heart of the lush and vibrant garden setting on the 9th level Sky Terrace, Aerial Kitchen & Bar will soon be Midtown’s premier outdoor dining destination. This resort-style sanctuary will offer hotel guests, alongside surrounding high-rise residents and office personnel, the opportunity to bask in this open-air destination while enjoying refreshing cocktails and inspired bites that naturally complement the midday sun or evening sunset.
Conveniently situated across from the motor entrance of Epicurean Atlanta at 1105 West Peachtree, The Office Bar will offer the ideal reprieve for professionals working and living in this vibrant tech and business district. The sophisticated lounge setting features marble and leather accents, personalized bourbon lockers and plenty of TVs for sports fans to cheer on their favorite team.
DESIGN:
Atlanta-based architectural and interior design firm Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio was commissioned to oversee the hotel’s design and bring this extraordinary vision to life. The project’s interior reflects an urban foodie and wine lovers’ paradise, with the design showcasing swanky finishes and modern style. The 16-story hotel has a sleek and modern design with clean lines and tasteful proportions in keeping with the active urban and pedestrian feel of its surroundings.
ROOMS AND SUITES:
The 178 guestrooms, which includes 22 spacious suites, feature organic tones and textures in addition to eclectic furnishings and art inspired by the hotel’s deeply rooted culinary connection. Guestrooms boast curated artisanal pantries, butcher block accents, innovative Google technology, and sweeping city views to create the optimal environment for relaxation. Additional guest amenities include a state-of-the art fitness center with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a resort-style pool oasis on the 9th level Sky Terrace, with temperature-controlled cabanas and butler service. Guests can also look forward to programming on the Events Lawn with wellness activities and more.
EPICUREAN THEATRE:
The Epicurean Theatre presents hotel guests and locals the opportunity to watch, learn, experience, and create with award-winning chefs, star mixologists, buzzworthy winemakers and talented artists to bring their inner connoisseur to life.
