BUCKHEAD, ATLANTA
Vision
Modern Southern Sophistication
The InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta Hotel Renovation combines
a refined, tech-forward guest experience with a contemporary yet
timeless aesthetic. The building’s charm offers a sense of hospi-
tality unique to Buckhead – elegant and inviting, with a modern
edge that excites today’s international traveler. Entering through
an updated lobby, guests will be welcomed with an energetic sense
of arrival. Combined with an already-renowned cocktail program,
enhanced dining options will put the hotel on the map as a premier
culinary destination. Reimagined public spaces create the perfect
backdrop for guests to discover, roam and connect – culminating
in a lush garden that delivers a green, vibrant experience right in
the heart of the city.
 Context

The Jewel of Atlanta

Situated in one of Atlanta’s most upscale addresses, InterCon-
tinental Buckhead is at the center of the city’s most prestigious
retail, dining and nightlife scenes. Buckhead has been a long-
standing hub that has embraced those seeking adventure and
the finer side of life, setting the stage for vacationers, entre-
preneurs and locals alike to explore its indulgent allure. Affec-
tionately named the “city in a forest,” sweeping tree canopies
intermingle with high-rise towers to create a green urban oasis.
Why we’re different
We know your building. With intimate knowledge of your building, we’re
proud of the time spent designing the original property. Our in-depth,
hands-on experience unique to your brand and facility is unmatched. Not
only do we have the original CADs, but a familiarity with the drawing set
and detail, which means we can hit the ground running – a huge time saver.

We’re local. An agile team of creative problem solvers – right in your back
yard. With tvsdesign, you’ll have the benefit of collaborating with a firm
that has played a vital role in Atlanta’s cultural development and built envi-
ronment for more than 50 years. We understand the distinct economic,
infrastructural and social challenges of building in metro Atlanta, and will
lean on our deep well of knowledge to turn these challenges into opportu-
nities for growth.

We listen, solve and deliver. As business-minded specialists in full-service

hotel renovations, we understand what it takes to deliver the most suc-
cessful outcome for every project – central to this is your vision and your
goals. We put our egos aside to assemble the necessary team and work
in partnership with outside ID to ensure a project delivery tailored exact-
ly to your needs. We heard your objective to clearly define the scope and
direction early on, and will leverage your input to inform the design moves
of this renovation.
