Book Forth Atlanta with VIP Benefits

The building is easy to recognize from its exposed concrete diagonal grid, which wraps around the glass exterior. Morris Adjmi Architects developed the architecture and design in collaboration with Stokes Architecture + Design and Method's in-house studio. The structural frame gives FORTH a distinctly contemporary outline above its brick base. Inside, the approach is more residential: eclectic furniture, rich fabrics, and carefully chosen objects soften the geometry. It is a useful contrast for a hotel that serves several purposes, from short city breaks to extended stays and evenings out.

FORTH has 196 rooms and suites, with categories that differ considerably in size and layout. King Rooms start at 260 square feet, while Double Queen Rooms start at 396 square feet. Views may face the plaza or Atlanta skyline. Corner categories add a broader outlook and come with either a king bed or two queens. The Junior Suite starts at 543 square feet and includes a soaking tub, a meaningful distinction if bathroom space is part of your room choice.

Terrace categories provide private outdoor space rather than access to a shared deck. The Terrace King measures 633 square feet, while the Terrace Fireplace King is listed at 612 square feet. Smart televisions, Bluetooth speakers, Nespresso machines, and minibars are among the room amenities. Several categories have accessible versions with different dimensions. Choose the actual layout and view you want rather than assuming every larger room has a terrace, or that every suite separates its bedroom from the living area.

The residential suites on the second and third floors make FORTH a practical option for more than a weekend. Studios start at 489 square feet and combine sleeping, dining, and living areas in one room. One Bedroom Suites start at 590 square feet, with a separate bedroom. Two Bedroom Suites start at 716 square feet and have two king beds and two bathrooms; the accessible version is larger. That separation is useful for families or colleagues who need more privacy than an open-plan suite provides.

Fully equipped kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers change how you can use these apartments. You can prepare food, do laundry, and settle into a routine while keeping hotel dining, pool, and gym access close. Housekeeping is weekly in the residential suites, unlike the daily service listed for standard hotel rooms. The choice is therefore about the kind of stay you need, not simply how much floor space you can book.

The fitness facilities cover strength, cardio, and functional training. Power racks and Olympic lifting platforms sit alongside cable machines, benches, and free weights. The cardio selection includes treadmills, Peloton bikes, and rowing machines; separate areas support stretching and body-weight work. For a traveler with an established training routine, this is a more useful distinction than the mere presence of a hotel gym. Group classes include reformer and mat Pilates, yoga, HIIT, spin, and stretch sessions.

Recovery facilities include a cold plunge, sauna, and steam room, with massages and personalized spa treatments available separately. The Wellness Center is for guests aged 16 and over; those aged 16 or 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. That age boundary matters for families planning to use the facilities together. The emphasis is on maintaining a routine or taking time for a treatment, without needing to organize a separate journey across Atlanta.

The heated outdoor pool is open year-round to registered hotel guests and FORTH Club members, subject to capacity. Pool-chair reservations are worth arranging through the front desk, especially for a visit centered on time outside. The club is a separate membership community, with its own private dining room, bar, lounge, and terrace. A hotel reservation gives access to the Wellness Center and pool; it should not be read as unrestricted entry to every members-only space.

Il Premio is the hotel's Italian steakhouse, with an evening menu built around prime cuts, seafood, and house-made pasta. A wood-fired kitchen and tableside martini service give dinner a more deliberate pace than a quick meal between outings. Regional Italian wines accompany the food. It is the dining room to consider when the meal itself is a significant part of the evening, whether you are staying at FORTH or meeting friends from elsewhere in Atlanta.

Bar Premio serves a different role. This lobby cafe moves from coffee and pastries to Italian small plates, cocktails, and wine. The all-day format means you can use it without committing to a full restaurant meal. Its focus on aperitivo also gives the ground floor an evening purpose, rather than leaving it as a place used only for arrivals and morning coffee. The two Premio venues share an Italian influence but are not interchangeable.

Elektra occupies the fourth floor beside the pool, with coastal-inspired interiors and Mediterranean cooking. Breakfast and brunch may include Turkish eggs or olive oil pancakes; later meals bring mezze, house-made pita, and larger Mediterranean dishes. This is the more relaxed poolside dining option, but it is also a restaurant in its own right, with a covered terrace and seating indoors. It offers an alternative to steakhouse dining without requiring you to leave the hotel.

Moonlight changes the mood again. The rooftop lounge uses a 1970s-inspired design, cocktails, light bites, and a dance floor, with views toward Historic Fourth Ward Park and the skyline. It is a social evening venue, not simply a viewing platform at the top of the building. For a stay focused on food and nightlife, having these different settings on site is useful. You can choose between a seated dinner, a cafe stop, and a rooftop drink without treating them as one continuous hotel restaurant.

The BeltLine's Eastside Trail links this part of Atlanta with restaurants, public art, and places to walk or cycle. Ponce City Market adds a food hall and shops, while Inman Park offers Victorian houses and another concentration of restaurants. Krog Street Market extends the food-focused route. These are reasons to leave space in the itinerary for the neighborhood. FORTH's location makes that kind of exploring easier, but a walkable pocket should not be mistaken for a wholly walkable city.

The hotel is at 800 Rankin Street NE. From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, you can travel by road or use MARTA into the city and arrange the remaining journey separately. Allow for traffic when planning departures or meetings elsewhere. Valet parking is available for guests arriving by car. Dogs are welcome in guest rooms and the lobby, but not in the dining, pool, or wellness areas. The address works best when you want both the hotel's facilities and the Old Fourth Ward outside its doors.
