Renovations Transform Atlanta's Wyndham Hotel and Baymont Inn
MAY 14, 2008. Crescent Hotels & Resorts, manager of the 211-room Wyndham Garden Hotel Atlanta Downtown and adjacent 242-room Baymont Inn & Suites Atlanta Downtown, today announced completion of a multimillion-dollar renovation of those hotels.
The renovation transformed the Wyndham Garden Hotel into an upscale, full-service hotel with guest room decors reflecting Wyndham signature designs by Michael Graves & Associates, a widely known architecture and design firm based in Princeton, N.J.
Every guest room has been equipped with Wyndham's signature Be Well bedding, coffeemakers, alarm clock radios with mp3/iPodTM adapters, energy-saving lighting and the Wyndham Smart Chair, a functional lounge chair with built-in power, Internet outlets and pivoting table arms, all designed by Graves. Guest bathrooms now are stocked with the brand's signature Bath & Body Works(R) True Blue(R) Spa bath care line.
The hotel now features the Wyndham brand's new caf'e concept named "Eat. Refresh. Live." The combination barista and food mart with Internet pods transforms from a coffee bar with breakfast and lunch service during the day to a cocktail bar with casual dining in the evening.
