At HEI Hotels & Resorts, we take pride in managing experiences that go beyond the expected—where design, service, and a sense of place come together to create something memorable. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that the Kimpton Sylvan Hotel, part of the HEI portfolio, has been named one of the Best Hotels in Atlanta by Condé Nast Traveler.
Tucked into the tree-lined streets of Buckhead, The Sylvan is a celebration of transformation. Originally built as a 1950s apartment building, it has been reimagined into a boutique retreat that honors its mid-century roots while embracing the spirit of modern Atlanta. The result is a hotel that feels both timeless and fresh—a seamless balance of heritage and innovation.
Condé Nast Traveler praised The Sylvan for its “timeless mid-century modern aesthetic” and its rare ability to create tranquility in the heart of one of Atlanta’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Inside, rich textures, layered design, and intimate gathering spaces create a sense of warmth and belonging. Every corner, from the serene garden courtyard to the rooftop bar overlooking the skyline, reflects a hospitality philosophy that feels personal and effortlessly refined.
The hotel’s dining concepts embody the same spirit of connection. At The Betty, guests are transported to an era of classic glamour with a modern culinary edge, while St. Julep, the rooftop lounge, brings Atlanta’s energy to life with inventive cocktails and sweeping views. It’s a destination where locals and travelers alike come to linger, celebrate, and feel part of something special.
This recognition from Condé Nast Traveler affirms what our guests have long known—that the Kimpton Sylvan Hotel is more than a beautiful place to stay. It’s a living, breathing story of design, community, and hospitality that captures the very essence of Atlanta.
As part of HEI Hotels & Resorts’ collection of exceptional properties across the country, The Sylvan continues our mission to elevate hospitality through experience-driven design, authentic service, and a deep respect for place. We couldn’t be prouder of the team whose creativity and care make this recognition possible.
