Atlanta’s Massive New Hilton is a Premier Staycation

For your next visit to a game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or a concert at the State Farm Arena, you can now go first class at the new Signia of Hilton Atlanta, which has been built literally next door to both of these staycation venues.

Looking out from the massive 42-story glass cube with floor-to-ceiling glass windows in each room gives panoramic views of downtown Atlanta, Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, and the $5 billion Centennial Yards development that will spread across 50 acres in the neighborhood. The opening of the hotel positions it squarely in the center of North America’s largest combined convention, sports, and entertainment destination.

The news of the hotel’s opening was welcomed by the head of the Georgia World Congress Center which is just a few steps away, and by Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp.

The massive new Signia By Hilton Hotel was built on the former site of the Georgia Dome.

“The addition of Signia by Hilton to the Georgia World Congress Center’s portfolio of venues further strengthens its status as one of the premier destinations in the world for conventions, sports events, and entertainment,” Gov. Kemp said. “As Georgia prepares to welcome iconic events and continues experiencing record-breaking economic growth in the years ahead, this facility is well-positioned to remain a key economic driver for our state. Tourism and the hospitality industry remain some of the largest industries in Georgia, and this hotel is another reminder of the Peach State’s success in these key areas.”

You can almost get lost in the 1.25 million square-foot building of nearly a thousand guest rooms, eight restaurants and other public spaces. The hotel has 100,000 square-feet of meeting space including the largest hotel ballroom in Georgia. It’s the biggest new hotel development to be built in Atlanta in the past 40 years.

It was built on what was once the site of the Georgia Dome and it’s close enough to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to make you think you might just be able to reach out and touch it. It would be a nice choice if you were planning on attending the four-day series of shows on Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour later this summer at the stadium or the World Cup Soccer Tournament in June of 2026.

Ther sophisticated Club Signia lounge offers exclusive access to all-day dining, a complimentary cocktail bar and a private meeting room with an upgraded reservation.

For a special occasion, you can book one of the 70 suites in the hotel or one of the 80 rooms in what is called the exclusive Club Signia, which provides access to a club lounge that features club-style cocktail service, chef demonstrations and made-to-order snacks and small plates.

If you want a private workout, you can book a room with a Peloton bike or book one of the 11 wellness rooms outfitted with special attention to air purifiers and aromatherapy infusions.

For a more intensive workout, there’s an entire floor dedicated to wellness. A spa features treatments from Babor, Botanika Life, Essence One, Higher Dose and Hyperice. You can have a massage or a cryo facial lift, combining cold therapy and gua sha, along with percussion therapy. There’s a special staycation package that the hotel is now offering that includes a $100 spa credit and a breakfast buffet for two. Additional special packages feature reservations at the Georgia Aquarium, and a date night package with a $100 credit for dinner at the hotel’s top-of-the-line Italian restaurant, Capolinea, which features a tableside martini prep.

At the beauty bar, the full-service salon team will help guests look and feel their best, with services ranging from sleek blowouts and a first-of-its-kind biohacking pedicure to wedding preparations and gala glam.

There’s a fitness center with yoga station, more Peloton bikes, Technogym equipment and group fitness classes, and an outdoor saltwater pool with a pool bar, the Highball, and a lounge that overlooks the stadium.

For those wanting more fresh air, Atlanta’s largest green space is nearby. The recently opened Franklin Park has a 35-acre reservoir created from what was originally a massive stone quarry and trails that lead to the Westside BeltLine.

The new Hilton Signia hotel is part of Hilton’s impressive growth during the past year. The chain, which is based in McLean, Va., added 973 hotels and nearly 100,000 rooms in 2024, the single biggest increase in rooms in Hilton’s more than 100-year history.
