The Atlanta Hyatt, downtown Atlanta, Georgia, was constructed in 1965 and was the first open air atrium hotel ever constructed. Built with the opulent expectations of a Hyatt Hotel, the downtown Atlanta Hyatt is considered to be a lavish part of Atlanta’s history. It was constructed under the watchful eye of John Portman, who went on to become one of America’s most successful Architects. In the 1970's and 80's, Mr. Portman's iconic atrium buildings — including the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, the Marriott Marquis in New York, the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco and the Renaissance Center in Detroit — offered artful stimulation in comparison to the lobbies and running corridors that hotel guests had grown accustomed to.
