The SpringHill Suites Atlanta Perimeter Center is now open in Atlanta. It is owned by Peachtree Hotel Group led by Mitul Patel, managing principal and COO and Jatin Desai, managing principal and CIO/CFO.

The 150-suite hotel is near Perimeter Mall and downtown Atlanta. Nearby attractions include the Art Institute of Atlanta, American InterContinental University, Lenox Square, LEGOLAND Discovery Center, Phipps Plaza and Atlanta History Center. The hotel also is near a MARTA light rail station as well as numerous businesses including Cox Communications, Mercedes Benz and Newell Brands.


The hotel is pet-friendly and amenities include a meeting room, an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center.

“From the guestrooms to the exterior and everything in between, the hotel has been completely reimagined.  Both hard and soft goods were replaced in every suite to make way for a new color palette and modern décor,” Patel said.  “The bathrooms were reconfigured with new vanities, flooring and showers to appeal to the savvy traveler.  The public spaces were taken down to the studs to build an entirely new guest experience.  Every aspect of the building was updated including the lobby, meeting space, fitness center, pool area and dining spaces.”

In December, Peachtree Hotel Group opened Home2 Suites by Hilton Lawrenceville Atlanta Sugarloaf in Sugarloaf, Georgia.
