The Hyatt Regency Atlanta is a business hotel located on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Opened in 1967 as the Regency Hyatt House, John C. Portman, Jr.'s revolutionary 22-story atrium design for the hotel has influenced hotel design enormously in the years since. The hotel instantly became one of the most recognized buildings in Atlanta. In 1982, the International Tower was added, which is the same as the original design but has expanded rooms and suites. * View of the Atrium and glass elevators looking up from the lobby floor * View of the Atrium from the 8th floor *
