Holiday Inn & Suites opens on perimeter in Atlanta

The Holiday Inn & Suites Atlanta Perimeter-Dunwoody opened March 24 with a ribbon cutting in Chamblee, Georgia. It is owned by Atlanta Hospitality Investment LLC, led by Mohammad Hossain as managing member, and operated by YM Hospitality led by Jay Patel as chairman and Nick Patel as CEO in Stockbridge, Georgia.

A key feature of the 143-room hotel is its rooftop bar and restaurant, Spice & Sky, with a globally inspired menu from Atlanta chef, Archna Becker. The space is designed for year-round dining both inside and out, however.


About 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta, nearby attractions include Murphey Candler Park, Perimeter Mall, Stone Mountain Park and LEGOLAND Discovery Center. Amenities include a heated indoor pool, a fitness center and 4,500 square feet of event space.

“We chose to develop our newest property as a Holiday Inn because of its excellent reputation in the industry. And our location near major corporate headquarters, upscale shopping, and established cultural institutions allows us to cater to every type of guest.”

The hotel also features Holiday Inn’s “Kids Stay and Eat Free” program and IHG Studio, which allows guests to stream their favorite shows from their personal devices on the flatscreen TV in each room.

In September, Vision Hospitality Group, led by Mitch Patel as president and CEO, opened the 156-room AC Hotel Atlanta Perimeter. It also has a rooftop bar.
