INTUITIVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PLACES
The design team took a holistic approach with Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta, keeping the notion of duality top of mind throughout the public and private spaces. The property’s design was inspired by the history of Georgia’s pottery industry, with playful nods to earthenware and earthy color schemes complemented by bold graphics and eye-catching textures. When entering the hotel, guests are greeted with a floral stenciled wall accentuating a light installation of woven pendant shades in oblong shapes mimicking those of pottery. Behind the check-in desk is a towering terracotta wall. The elevator doors open to vibrant sunkissed colors resembling the glazing on pottery in a three-part installation by award-winning Canadian artist Claire Desjardins titled Daydreamer. On one of the hotel’s exterior walls sits a shareworthy mural by artist Lenia Castro of Buckhead Murals, offering perspective on the development of Atlanta and the state of Georgia.
The guestrooms spotlight Georgia’s deep artistic history with wallpaper mimicking crackled glazing on pottery, area rugs inspired by the organic shape and glaze of earthenware and a natural hues of sienna. The Buckhead neighborhood’s status as a fashion destination is reflected in the stylish headboards, which feature a chevron fabric pattern. From clean lines to modern furnishings in rooms and suites with 10-foot high ceilings, these pet-friendly spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows inviting the natural light and views of the Atlanta skyline into the space. Guestrooms average 400 square feet with suites exceeding 850 square feet, and each room has a variety of intuitive amenities including a 65″ flat-screen LCD HDTV; a cozy, hooded bathrobe; exclusive Beekind® – high-end, socially conscious bath amenities; and Drybar® – salon-quality hair dryer.
