Gold Key – Hotel Upper Midscale The Highlights: Located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta on a site that was home to a First Methodist Church in the 1800s, the Candler Hotel is a nod to the city’s rich industrial history and craftsmanship. Originally built in 1906 by Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler, the Candler Building was the city’s tallest for many decades. The design team drew inspiration from local flora and fauna while incorporating elements of marble, brass, and custom oak parquet wood floors to build upon the idea of southern hospitality. Upon entry, the eye immediately draws to the building’s original marble columns, grand staircase, and friezes that are paired with ornate Tiffany glass windows and chandeliers.
