Hotel Clermont

Atlanta has no shortage of luxury hotels, with properties like the St. Regis, Mandarin Oriental, and, when it opens in 2021, Nobu Hotel Atlanta setting a chic tone for the city. But Hotel Clermont, which opened in June as a revival of the city’s historic Clermont Building, is decidedly not part of that pack. Instead, the 94-room boutique hotel revels in the unique—creating inviting, layered, and Instagram-friendly, spaces by mixing playfully patterned wallpapers and textiles with rattan furniture for a lush, tropical feel. Tiny Lou’s, the property’s signature, restaurant has already made its mark as a neighborhood hotspot thanks to its tongue-in-cheek approach to classic French fare, as has the buzzing Rooftop, which offers street food and fantastic views of the Poncey-Highland neighborhood.
