Omni Hotels teams with Atlanta Braves for new Cobb County property

The Atlanta Braves and Omni Hotels & Resorts are partnering to develop a new hotel in the mixed used development adjacent to SunTrust Park in Cobb County.

The luxurious Omni property will be a full-service hotel and will serve as a cornerstone of the mixed-use community.

The Omni Atlanta Hotel at SunTrust Park will feature 16 floors, approximately 260 finely appointed guest rooms and suites, rooftop hospitality suites, approximately 12,500 square feet of meeting space, an elevated pool deck and bar overlooking the plaza and ballpark, and a signature restaurant.

The hotel will serve meeting groups and business and leisure travellers alike, as well as visitors attending Braves games, and the many other events and activities hosted at the mixed-use development.

Guests may also enjoy the retail and dining establishments that will be adjacent to the hotel.

Located on the 60-acre development site, at the northwest intersection of I-75 and I-285 at Cobb Parkway, the new community will redefine the traditional model of “live, work, play” into a “play, work, stay” destination.

The community will also feature residences and premier office space, an entertainment venue, retail and a variety of dining options.

The overall layout and design respects and embraces the natural topography of the property, using abundant green space to blend park-like settings with a distinctive urban environment.

“Our unique brand of hospitality is a big part of the experience of attending an Atlanta Braves game, and we’re thrilled to have a partner that embodies that same feeling with their guests,” said Terry McGuirk, Atlanta Braves chairman.

“Omni Hotels & Resorts only builds and operates iconic properties in premier destinations.

“Their presence in this community further enhances our belief that this will be a destination unlike anything in professional sports.”
SunTrust Park is being developed by the Braves in partnership with Cobb County, the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority and the
Cumberland CID, and will be completed by Opening Day 2017.

Ground was broken on SunTrust Park on September 16th, 2014.

The Omni is expected to break ground later this year.
