Dirt was moved this week in a groundbreaking ceremony marking a new Courtyard by Marriott & Element by Westin in Midtown Atlanta. The dual-branded hotel is expected to open in mid-2021, with a combined 282 guestrooms and suites. It will be the first-ever combination of the Courtyard by Marriott and Element by Westin brands under one roof.
The property will be located on the southwest corner of the famed intersection of Peachtree Street and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Peachtree Street is Atlanta’s primary north-south thoroughfare, while the intersection with Ponce de Leon in Midtown is home to Atlanta’s renowned Fox Theater.
