The exuberance and convivial spirit of the Jazz Age is woven into Hotel Phoenix’s signature dining concept, Zephyr, located just off the hotel lobby. Under the culinary guidance of consulting Chef Shaun Hergatt, Executive Chef Carelys Vazquez and Chef de Cuisine Jonathan Mailo bring deep experience in luxury hotels and Michelin-rated restaurants to create a dining experience that blends French influence with soulful Southern cooking.

At the heart of the action is Bar Z, an expansive bar within Zephyr offering an all-day experience and serving as a lively social incubator for both guests and locals. From early morning coffee rituals and grab-and-go pastries to small plates between meals and cocktails before or after concerts and sporting events. 

To bring the Hotel Phoenix vision to life, the property’s architecture and interior design draws inspiration from the site’s historic rail system, blending an autumnal color palette that echoes the vibrant, shifting hues of Atlanta’s tree canopy. Suspended above the grand staircase in the lobby leading to the second-floor event spaces, Dutch artist Peter Gentenaar’s custom installation anchors the room with sculptural drama. Formed from handmade pulp paper reinforced by a bamboo framework, each piece takes shape through organic, undulating curves that convey movement and lightness. Art nouveau–inspired tile patterns, marble countertops, and glass pendant lighting add softness and warmth, balancing the space’s modern industrial edge while reflecting the surrounding historic architecture of downtown Atlanta’s civic and government landmarks.

The hotel’s art collection, curated by Matthew Whitaker, is a cornerstone of the property, serving as an emotional and human connection to the history and culture of the city via the lens of over 20 Atlanta-based and national artists. Highlights include a nine-panel, bent-neon installation by local artist Vyvyan Hughes, which reinterprets Southern quilting patterns, celebrating the connectedness of the region and generational ties. Stunning self-portraits of multidisciplinary artist and Atlanta native, Cosmo Whyte (Heirloom 3, Heirloom 3, and Heirloom 4) Anat Ebgi Gallery,feature the artist bedecked in layers of his late father’s neckties, serving as vessels of memory and identity. Hotel Phoenix will offer guests the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes to experience the collection with planned art tours, hosted guest artist features, and future temporary exhibitions. 

“We’re proud to welcome guests to what we truly hope will become Atlanta’s favorite new hotel,” says Martin Wormull, General Manager of Hotel Phoenix. “Our team has worked tirelessly to create an experience that feels personal, inviting, and unmistakably connected to the city.”
