The Burgess Hotel opens in Atlanta

The boutique hotel will be part of Wyndham’s Trademark Collection

The Burgess Hotel, part of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ Trademark Collection by Wyndham, is now open in Atlanta. The 102-room hotel is owned by Freny and Burges Jokhi.

The Burgess recently underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation into a boutique hotel featuring an outdoor pool and courtyard, more than 1,200 square feet of meeting and event space and an on-site restaurant and bar. It is in the city’s Buckhead district near Lenox Square Mall, Phipps Plaza, Chastain Park and the Atlanta History Center.


Wyndham launched the Trademark Collection in 2017 as a soft brand concept for owners of 3- and 4-star independent hotels. Other recently opened locations for the brand in the U.S. include:

  • Magic Village Views, a gated villa community in Kissimmee, Florida, near Walt Disney World.
  • Hotel Retlaw in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
  • Cantilever Hotel, a newly constructed hotel in Ranier, Minnesota, with an on-site distillery.
