New Hard Rock hotel opening next to Mercedes-Benz Stadium this summer

If you’ve driven down Centennial Olympic Park Drive, you may have seen an 11-story high building with an electric billboard just feet away State Farm Arena and Mercedes Benz-Stadium.

Reverb by Hard Rock is set to open in June, owners Hotel Equities stated in a press release. The 195-room hotel sits in the Castleberry Hill neighborhood and includes a rooftop bar overlooking the Atlanta skyline.

Plans for the hotel were announced in November 2018 with an expected February 2020 opening, but construction delays pushed back plans, according to news reports.

The hotel is a part of the 2.4-acre Castleberry Park development, a mixed-use project that includes three apartment buildings with a combined 129 luxury units, retail and restaurants. There will also be a 375-space parking deck.
