The historic Old Fourth Ward District underwent urban renewal and gentrification in the late 1980s, transforming into a thriving commercial and residential core. The new 16-story FORTH Hotel, developed by New City Properties and operated by Method Co., stands as a testament to Atlanta\u2019s resilience and serves as a beacon for this vibrant neighborhood. Let\u2019s take a look at FORTH Hotel<\/span><\/em><\/strong> and its incredible interior design and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned architect Morris Adjmi is known for his ability to create spaces that seamlessly blend with their surroundings. His work on projects like the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and The Pinch in Charleston demonstrates his mastery of site-responsive design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjmi\u2019s approach to designing FORTH Hotel was to distill the complex history of the Old Fourth Ward District into a contemporary and authentic experience. His attention to detail and commitment to creating spaces that resonate with their location are evident in every aspect of the hotel\u2019s design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FORTH Hotel\u2019s exposed concrete diagrid facade creates a striking contrast against the backdrop of the Old Fourth Ward\u2019s Ponce City Market. These diagonal columns not only enhance the building\u2019s aesthetics but also serve as a structural element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the cast-in-place exterior is a window wall, adding unexpected depth and transparency to the facade. From inside, the diagrid creates unique silhouettes over each guest room window. Below the tower, a three-story gray brick podium features corbeling that artfully frames each window opening. While the tower portion stands out, the podium\u2019s design reflects the surrounding area\u2019s scale and materiality.<\/p>\n\n\n

Morris Adjmi and his team opted for a late mid-century modern, 1970s visual vocabulary for the FORTH Hotel. The 196-guest room property and its public spaces exude a moody, cinematic aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel offers a range of amenities, including a massive 2,300-square-foot rooftop pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a co-working space, and a 350-seat events space. The soon-to-be-unveiled members club is expected to attract both visitors and the neighborhood\u2019s young creative professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n

The hotel\u2019s four restaurants include the ground-floor Italian steakhouse Il Premio and the rooftop cocktail lounge Moonlight. The latter features zebra-print upholstered sofas and a striking \u201cfull moon\u201d mural-adorned marble fireplace, reminiscent of the large public works found along the nearby Eastside Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n

The lobby and concierge desk at FORTH Hotel feature a mid-century modern aesthetic, with dark-stained walnut wood paneling and geometric screens that reflect the building\u2019s triangulated shell. A large wall-mounted mountain scape tapestry, furnished by BDDW, adds a striking focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The space is filled with a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings and luminaires, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Wilderness-themed elements, such as taxidermied foxes, pinned butterflies, and natural foliage, add a touch of nature to the concierge desk area. Wood-burning fireplaces throughout the property further enhance the cozy and inviting ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n
