Bartender - Zephyr

About Company:

Hotel Phoenix rises at “Mile 0,” the historic terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railway and the very location of Atlanta’s founding. With its commanding presence at the gateway and centerpoint of Centennial Yards — one of the most ambitious new developments in Atlanta’s history — it signals a new era for a downtown that has long been neglected.

Hotel Phoenix is a bold, unapologetic statement of forward-looking confidence. It is the hotel Centennial Yards and downtown Atlanta deserves — a future-reaching hospitality experience inspired by the unique character, culture, and heritage of its location.

A standard-setting luxury hospitality experience, Hotel Phoenix is glamorous, world-class, and unmistakably of this place. It isn’t “Atlanta-themed;” it’s Atlanta revealed. True Southern hospitality without the clichés: anticipatory, proper, and delivered with warmth, charm, and sincerity.
