Fodor's Expert Review The Candler

History abounds in this Downtown hotel that was once a building owned by Asa Griggs Candler, founder of the Coca-Cola Company. That rich legacy exudes from the walls of the building, literally. Figures of the family are etched in marble mined from north Georgia, and huge columns made from that same marble hold court in the restaurant. Decadence is everywhere, with gold and velvety textures taking center stage set amid an art deco backdrop. Look for the original Tiffany stained glass and dazzling teardrop chandelier above the staircase, and the original hexagon tiles underfoot in some spots. The rooms belie the building’s age, with enough space for a chaise and moderately sized table, with great views of nearby Woodruff Park from a few.
