PB hotel design editorial

For decades, the building at 789 Ponce de Leon Avenue was better known for its basement than its guest rooms — home to the Clermont Lounge, Atlanta's oldest strip club, which kept operating even as the hotel above it fell into disrepair. That tension between notoriety and reinvention became the starting point for Hotel Clermont when Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants completed its restoration of the 1924 brick structure in 2018, working with local architect Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio and interior designer Stacie Cokinos to return the five-story building's 94 rooms to active use without erasing the strangeness that made the address legendary. The interiors take their cues from a certain strain of knowing, maximalist Americana — the lobby furnished with rattan peacock chairs, boldly printed palm-leaf drapery, bouclé ottomans, and brass flea-market floor lamps arranged around a layered Persian rug, the whole room carrying the atmosphere of a well-traveled collector's sitting room rather than a corporate hospitality brief. Guest rooms counter that eclecticism with a tighter palette: tufted velvet headboards in forest green or chartreuse, platform beds set against deep teal floral carpeting, walnut nightstands with brass hardware, and original figurative watercolors hung on brass chains. The ground-floor restaurant extends the warmth through tufted leather banquettes, bentwood cane chairs, coffered plaster ceilings, and globe pendant lighting — a mid-century brasserie vernacular that suits the neighborhood's Ponce City Market-era renewal without genuflecting to it.

"We had a lovely time. The Location was exceptional, and the stay was a fantastic value. The room was cozy, but very nice. The atmosphere was sort of a dark noir. The hotel was very clean. As for the noise level-- there was a bit of noise from the stairwell and the street, but the hotel provides earplugs. The service was the best I have experienced at a hotel, and the on-site amenities (restaurant, and bars in particular) were very nice to have on hand. We were within walking distance of the Jimmy Carter presidential library, as well as the Historic Fourth Ward park, but unfortunately, we were too busy to explore those areas. It was excellent having such immediate access to the restaurant, bar, and rooftop so that we did not have to go far to have a novel experience."

"It's a great older hotel with excellent staff, a lot of charm, and a lot of fun. The restaurant and rooftop bar are amazing."

"Disappointing. The room wasn't very clean. The bedding smelled like feet, the carpeted floors seemed slightly damp, and we found a pair of used socks in one of the drawers. The biggest issue came the second night. Around 1:15 am, someone in the room next to us began groaning and loudly shouting intermittently. After about an hour hoping for this to stop, we called the front desk and were told security would be sent. There was a moment of quiet, then the noise continued. We called, and after security was sent a second time, again the noise continued. We were told there was nothing they could do about it, so despite the logistic inconvenience, we ended up trying to switch rooms so we and our baby could get some sleep, packing everything up in a hurry. The first replacement room had a loudly humming fan. The next one didn’t have working AC at all. After being up for hours, at 4:30 in the morning, we ultimately decided to just leave and drive the 3.5 hours home. The staff was kind enough and did waive our valet fee, which was a small consolation. Still, I would not recommend this hotel unless you're on a budget and don't particularly care about getting good night's sleep."
