This bustling hotel serves tourists to Atlanta and business travelers working in the surrounding office parks. It is located in the midst of the 42-acre Ravinia Office Park which includes an extensive wooded area with paths, gardens, fountains and a creek. The Crowne Plaza's lobby is designed around a lush atrium garden, home to two peach-faced lovebirds named Romeo and Juliet. The lobby is also the final resting place for the 1996 Centennial Olympic torch.
The hotel's first floor common area offers a bistro, coffee shop, business center, meeting rooms and a gift shop selling swimsuits, ties, hats, snacks, jewelry, candles, toiletries and a variety of locally themed knick knacks. There's also a handy electronic flight information board for guests departing from the Atlanta airport.
