Forth Atlanta, a luxury boutique hotel in the city’s Old Fourth Ward district near downtown Atlanta, Georgia, opened in July. Developed by Atlanta-based New City Properties and Method Co. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Forth Atlanta showcases 16 floors with 196 rooms, 39 residential suites, multiple restaurants and bars, a members-only private social club, and meeting space for up to 350 people.
“New City and Method Co. have collaborated every step of the way to ensure Forth Atlanta embodies and supports the city and the Old Fourth Ward’s vibrancy and creativity,” says Randall Cook, CEO and co-founder of Method Co., in a prepared statement. “[And they have done so] while creating a new destination for locals and travelers to forge lifelong connections and indulge in unequaled hotel accommodations, elevated restaurants and bars, cutting-edge fitness and wellness offerings, and a social club experience unlike any other in the city.”
Hallmarks of Forth Atlanta include the warmth of the interior and the painstaking attention to fine details: Method Studios, the in-house design firm of Method Co., designed the custom wallpaper; bedding is from New Jersey-based Bellino Fine Linens; custom cabinetry is in the clean-lined shaker style; and handmade furniture fills the rooms and lobby area. Its spacious, 9,700-square-foot ballroom is adorned with 60-inch, round walnut tables, cane-back chairs, and elegant china and glassware.
The hotel is near historical attractions such as the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Park; the Ebenezer Baptist Church at which King preached; and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum. Downtown Atlanta is 2 miles away.
“As an Atlanta native, it has been an incredible privilege to be a part of the resurgence to the Old Fourth Ward,” says Jim Irwin, president of New City Properties. “However, what has been sorely missed—until now—is a world-class hospitality destination that simultaneously caters to both our neighbors and to those who are visiting Atlanta for the first time.”
