ATLANTA—What do you get when the Atlanta Braves and Omni Hotels & Resorts partner? A new luxury full-service hotel in the mixed-use development next to SunTrust Park in Cobb County. The hotel will serve as the cornerstone of the project.

The 16-floor Omni Atlanta Northwest Hotel will offer 260 rooms, 12,500 square feet of meeting space, a restaurant, and an elevated pool deck and bar overlooking the plaza and ballpark. An all-fiber network capable of delivering multi-gigabit speeds throughout the entire development will power the area. In fact, it will be the highest-capacity network serving any ballpark and mixed-use community in the nation.

“Our unique brand of hospitality is a big part of the experience of attending an Atlanta Braves game, and we're thrilled to have a partner that embodies that same feeling with their guests,” says Terry McGuirk, Atlanta Braves chairman and CEO.  “Omni Hotel and Resorts only builds and operates iconic properties in premier destinations.  Their presence in this community further enhances our belief that this will be a destination unlike anything in professional sports.”

The new community sits on a 60-acre mixed-use development site at the northwest intersection of Interstate 75 and Interstate 285 at Cobb Parkway. The community aims to redefine the traditional model of “live, work, play” into a “play, work, stay” destination. Beyond the hotel, the community will be home to residences and office space, an entertainment venue, retail, and a variety of dining options.

“It is an honor to partner with a franchise as successful as the Atlanta Braves, and we know this collaboration will attract millions of visitors to Cobb County and SunTrust Park for years to come,” says Mike Deitemeyer, president of Omni Hotels & Resorts. “This new property will visibly reflect the region—everything from the rooms, food, design, décor and amenities.”

SunTrust Park is being developed by the Braves in partnership with Cobb County, the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority and the Cumberland CID, and will be completed by Opening Day 2017. Located in the Cumberland CID, SunTrust Park will flow directly into the surrounding development, creating a vibrant atmosphere with unique shops, restaurants, offices, residences and entertainment venues that are accessible 365 days a year.
