Downtown’s iconic Candler Building will be transformed into a Curio hotel, a luxury brand from Hilton, according to a report in the AJC. The former office building will have 265-guestrooms, a restaurant and bar.
Built in 1906, the Candler Building was Atlanta’s first steel skyscraper. It was developed by Coca-Cola’s Asa Candler and at 17 stories tall, was one of the tallest buildings in the city.
The hotel is set to open in late 2017.
