PB hotel design editorial

Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood spent decades as the city's most aggressively redeveloped corridor, which makes the survival of a low-slung 1950s modernist building on Pharr Road feel genuinely unlikely. The Kimpton Sylvan Hotel, which took over the structure in 2021, leans into that midcentury inheritance rather than obscuring it — the horizontal banding of the facade, the flat roofline, and the dark steel pergola at the entrance all preserve the building's original register while signaling something newly considered within. Interior designer April Powers shaped the 105-room property around a palette that bridges the building's era with present-day Atlanta — moss green upholstered headboards, tan leather bench ends, and Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs at oak writing desks in the guest rooms, set against herringbone-patterned carpets in soft grey. A thin black perimeter line runs at cornice height through the rooms, a graphic device that tightens the composition without adding weight. The restaurant shifts register dramatically: dark navy walls, deep aubergine banquettes, green marble tabletops, and globe pendants overhead conjure a moodier, more European atmosphere than the rooms suggest. The rooftop bar pulls the scheme apart entirely — painted cinder block covered in bold orange and turquoise murals, wire-frame lounge chairs, and an unobstructed sightline toward the Buckhead skyline, the whole thing closer to a neighborhood hangout than a hotel amenity.

"Absolute gem in Buckhead area. Staff service is fantastic; room was clean, comfortable, and you can't beat the happy hour wine tasting ion the lobby! Kimpton hotels are rapidly becoming my business (and pleasure) hotel of choice!"

"The hotel has a cool vibe within a quiet, relaxed setting. Low lights and calming music helped add to the experience. The staff was very friendly and attentive upon our arrival. The property itself is literally tucked away within one of the most beautiful historic neighborhoods. Buckhorn. There are some of the most stunning mansions along Paces Ferry rd. It’s only a few minutes drive to either midtown or downtown. Overall we loved our stay! The bed was a king and super comfy! I would only point out that there was a lack of a large enough spot to place extra belongings in the room . Also the shower was slow in getting hot water, and the pressure could have been stronger but other than that, a fine place to stay. Be sure and eat at The Betty which is right on premises. They have excellent food and cocktails are top notch."

"This was a lovely hotel on all fronts. The staff was so pleasant and accommodating. The lobby is very welcoming and warm. They have a nice happy hour in the lobby from 5-6. There are restaurants and bars on site. I did not use any of the amenities except room service but my room was great. Very comfortable. Love the decor and my room was quiet. There are some nice touches in the room but would have loved to have bottled water and a coffee maker in my room. If I had those two things in my room I would have said my stay was perfect."

"We found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. I would pay more next time for a garden room, which shelter you more from street noise - and the sounds of the bar on the top floor. We were surprised by how relatively empty the restaurant was at dinnertime on a weekday because it's good. Regular breakfast service in the restaurant is not available on the weekends, but eating at the bar was great. We weren't thrilled by the cleanliness of our room when we checked in, but it didn't get cleaned."
