Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward Welcomes a Handsome New Stay | SURFACE
"With the arrival of the sleek and sophisticated Forth, the historic neighborhood now sports a world-class boutique hotel that melds a moody nocturnal ambiance with hallmarks of Southern hospitality."
"Morris Adjmi Architects contained the 16-floor structure in an exposed concrete diagrid (not unlike Manhattan’s Hearst Tower) that casts artfully oblique silhouettes in the 157 guest rooms and 39 apartment-style suites. The Gotham-esque architecture gives way to warm, cinematic interiors evocative of European and Americana design traditions thanks to abundant handmade wooden furniture, taxidermied foxes, wood-burning fireplaces, and bucolic art by Jack Spencer and Becca Barnet set against dark-stained walnut panels. For the nature-averse, floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of Atlanta’s skyline and the lush Historic Fourth Ward Park’s verdant glow, bringing the outdoors in."
