Omni Hotels & Resorts has partnered with the Atlanta Braves to develop a new hotel in metro Atlanta’s Cobb County. “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,” says Atlanta Braves chairman and CEO Terry McGuirk.
The 16-floor, 260-room full-service hotel will be positioned in SunTrust Park, a forthcoming 60-acre mixed-use complex that is being developed by the Braves in collaboration with Cobb County, the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, and the Cumberland CID to include retail and dining establishments, office space, green space, and entertainment venues. Slated for completion in 2017, the development will also feature an exclusive fiber network offering multi-gigabit speeds that will also be available to the Omni. “It is an honor to partner with a franchise as successful as the Atlanta Braves, and we know this collaboration will attract millions of visitors to Cobb County and SunTrust Park for years to come,” says Omni president Mike Deitemeyer. “This new property will visibly reflect the region—everything from the rooms, food, design, décor, and amenities.”
Amenities will include approximately 12,500 square feet of meeting space, an elevated pool deck and bar, and a signature restaurant.
SunTrust Park development began in 2014, and the Omni is expected to break ground later this year.
