140-Room Hotel Coming To Battery Atlanta

SMYRNA, GA — A 140-room "lifestyle hotel" is coming to the home of the Braves.

Aloft Hotel will be joining the lineup at The Battery Atlanta, home of SunTrust Park, in 2020, the Braves Development Company announced Wednesday. It will join the recently announced Silverspot Cinema and Savi Provisions as part of the Battery's mixed-use development, as well as a planned tower that will be home of German company thyssenkrupp's North American headquarters.

"The addition of another hotel inside The Battery Atlanta continues our transformation of this community not just physically, but financially through the tax digest and the velocity of leases further showcases the success of this unique destination," said Mike Plant, President and CEO of the Braves Development Company, in a news release. "Aloft will be the perfect complement to The Battery Atlanta. Guests coming to a Braves game, a concert at the Coca Cola Roxy, or those here on a business trip can stay in a convenient location."

Aloft says it offers clean, contemporary architecture housing open spaces alive with activity. The hotel will include the Re-mix lounge and pool table, along with loft-like guest rooms, the W XYZ bar and Re-fuel cafe.

Braves Development Company says Battery Atlanta has been responsible for just under $850 million in private investment into over 2 million square feet across the total project.
