(TAN): The Kimpton Sylvan Hotel in Atlanta has opened its doors to guests. Tucked away in the elegant neighborhood of Buckhead, the Sylvan Hotel is a 1950s-era adaptive reuse boutique hotel with a mid-century modern design scheme, complimented by a splash of understated sophistication and heartfelt Southern hospitality.
The hotel includes 217 guest rooms, a vibrant living room lobby, a refreshing private pool, and over 4,000 square feet of meetings and events space. Aptly inspired by Atlanta’s nickname of “the city in a forest” and the arboreal abundance in the hotel’s own backyard, the name “Sylvan” is derived from the Latin term “silva,” meaning “forest.” Themes of trees, greenery, and nature resonate throughout the hotel, from the guest rooms to the lobby and beyond.

The crown jewels of The Sylvan are its three unique indoor and outdoor dining and drinking concepts: The Betty, Willow Bar, and St. Julep.
The Betty features an elegant, old-Hollywood atmosphere and Continental cuisine from Executive Chef Brandon Chavannes. Seamlessly blending intimate sophistication and Southern hospitality, the menus nod to mid-century supper clubs, but with modern twists. Guests can enjoy seasonally rotating dishes such as Wagyu Beef Cheek Stroganoff with Black Pepper Gnocchi; Linguine and Georgia Clams with Uni, Chili, and Garlic; and Whole Salt Crusted Fish for Two with Artichoke and Truffle. A complementary beverage menu highlights brown spirits and classic cocktails, alongside a selection of thoughtful wine and beer offerings. The lavish restaurant features 175 seats throughout its interior dining room, bar, and a 1,100-square-foot outdoor patio – creating the perfect gathering place for Atlantans and visitors alike.
Willow Bar, a dreamy, tucked away outdoor garden bar, and St Julep, a funky rooftop bar and restaurant with panoramic Buckhead views, will both open later this spring.
Throughout the entire property – from the guest rooms to the restaurants and bars – one of the primary intentions of The Sylvan Hotel’s design team was to work with the inspiring bones of the mid-century building and create a series of intimate spaces visually connected to one another with a subtle shift of identity and vibe as you move through them.
Featuring 217 spectacularly appointed spaces, the guestrooms at the Sylvan Hotel are incomparably en vogue, designed with simple lines, intriguing textures, and contemporary comforts like apothecary bath potions, Frette linens, cozy bathrobes, and skyline or garden views. And the hotel’s past life as a luxury community has laid the groundwork for an abundance of guest amenities.
