The Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead is a 580-foot (177-meter) tall skyscraper in Atlanta, Georgia that integrates both hotel accommodations and condominium residences. Finished in 2008, this 42-story structure stands as the 12th tallest edifice in Atlanta and ranks 15th among residential towers nationwide. The architectural design was led by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, with Milton Pate Architects serving as Architect of Record and Robert A. Tretsch III of Harrison Design overseeing the condominium aspects. Developed by City Centre Properties, LLC and constructed by Holder Construction Company, the building encompasses a total area of 616,000 square feet.
History
The project was completed with an investment of $197.4 million and initially opened on May 1, 2008, under the name The Mansion on Peachtree - A Rosewood Hotel & Residence, operated by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. After experiencing foreclosure, ownership transferred to iStar Financial in February 2010 for $66.1 million. In 2012, the property underwent rebranding to become Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta. Later, on December 10, 2018, Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. purchased the site for $53.5 million and subsequently renamed it Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead.
Building
The building’s lower portion contains a hotel with 127 guest rooms, while the upper section consists of 45 residential units spread across 26 floors. Additionally, the residences include a distinct enclave known as "The Villas" within the English Gardens area, which features three private homes each spanning three stories and equipped with private underground parking facilities.
Restaurants
In December 2008, Craft Atlanta—a branch of Tom Colicchio’s New York establishment—opened in a separate building positioned in front of The Mansion. The interior design was crafted by Bentel & Bentel Architects, with Milton Pate Architects acting as Architect of Record and Freese Construction serving as general contractor. Craft Atlanta ceased operations prior to Valentine’s Day 2010. Subsequently, Del Frisco’s Grille occupied the space beginning in late 2012. This dining venue functions independently from the hotel operations.
