"Turning 100 on October 6, the hotel began as a motor lodge in the 1920s and has survived by continually adapting — evolving from an apartment building to a motel to its current artsy, loungy, retro-glam persona. I note the Atlanta Mayor’s office presented a plaque recognizing this milestone, and the property now houses Tiny Lou’s and a popular rooftop bar that are central to the centennial celebrations. Its identity is inseparable from the Clermont Lounge below, and staff describe the relationship as familial — part of why such a diverse cross-section of people come here and have a great time." - Henna Bakshi
