Canopy By Hilton Atlanta Midtown Hotel

Hotel interior design photography at the Canopy Midtown hotel in Atlanta for the hospitality design firm Sawyer & Co

Located at 1414 West Peachtree, the Canopy by Hilton Midtown Atlanta explores the different layers of art, food, and iconography integrated within the Midtown Atlanta neighborhood: the graffiti artists, home grown celebrity chefs, and numerous literary inspirations.

The project is situated at the intersection of the Savannah College of Art & Design, The High Museum, and the Woodruff Arts Center – the cultural art center of Atlanta. The arrival moment in the lobby features a long, full height wall installation by a local mural artist. A three-dimensional metal and wooden screen is layered on top and “peels” off to reveal the entire mural. The sculptural stone reception desk anchors the arrival area, and the back wall of the reception, with guest amenities for sale, picks up on the faceted wall, wrapping up and over to echo the overpasses clad with graffiti along the Beltline.

The Retreat, an area between the business area and the bar, features materiality that changes to a more tailored, saturated wood look with residential seating around a large, two-sided fireplace – ideal for treasured quiet moments while traveling. A butcher-block installation along the wall is printed with names of local artists and artwork, and screens of stacked canvases with paint dripping across are curated by a local artist and separate the space between the Retreat area and the bar, resulting in a more intimate experience.

The Business and Social Zone is conceptualized as an “artist’s studio” with various tables and seating that takes inspiration from an artist’s flexible space, fully conceptualized for guest use. A unique feature of the Canopy brand, the Transfer Lounge, sits just behind the reception area, and is fully equipped with a shower, changing area, and lockers – available for guests that have an early morning or late evening meeting and need to freshen up before or after check-in or check-out – a thoughtful convenience that echoes the brand’s focus on guests’ needs.

The bar at the Canopy by Hilton Atlanta Midtown, the Canopy Central, another feature consistent throughout the Canopy brand, is designed by the Sawyer & Company team to transition throughout the day, from artisanal breakfast in the morning, cocktails and small bites in the afternoon, and finally to a more dynamic, energized space in the evening. Patterned concrete floor tile with patina and white subway tile on the back wall is contrasted by rich butcher-block wood accents at the bar’s front, juxtaposed with a copper chicken-wire framework behind which doubles up as an open liquor and glassware display. An oversized mirror is placed on the wall at the end of the bar to extend the feel of the space and reflect the experience at the bar, whose furnishings are eclectic and playful in a natural palette and materiality, including an oversized banquette that anchors the space with large graphics reminiscent of stamped canvas sacks.
