At Aparium, we believe in the power of People, Place and Character. We ensure our hotels are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated, elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve. Our hotel is a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities where we operate. Step into the world of charm reminiscent of small hotels scattered across western Europe at Hotel Granada, where a hidden oasis awaits, providing respite from the noise and traffic of the city. Once inside, guests are enveloped by the romantic aura of the building, offering a peaceful escape from the stress and chaos of the surrounding urban infrastructure. Nestled in the heart of historic Midtown Atlanta, the hotel's Spanish Colonial architecture stands as a dramatic departure from the typical steel and glass buildings, boasting modern touches and meticulous attention to design that seamlessly blend the past with the present. With a fascinating history dating back to 1923, Hotel Granada has witnessed Atlanta's rise as a dazzling southern destination. Formerly known as the Granada Apartments, the property was converted to The Artmore Hotel in 1984, hosting a myriad of prominent figures and quirky characters that have contributed to the city's vibrant personality. Its stucco facade, red tile roof, an inviting open-air courtyard come together and converge to create an urban oasis, offering guests a European-style experience within a meticulously restored and architecturally significant structure. At the heart of the 120-room hotel lies a lively and quaint courtyard, serving as an all-day dining and drinking destination for museum goers, locals, and hotel guests alike. Descend downstairs to discover an elevated and enchanting cocktail bar, where a carefully crafted drinks program promises a taste of perfection, positioning it to quickly become one of Atlanta's most sought-after spots. Hotel Granada invites guests to embark on a timeless escape, where the allure of the past meets the comforts of modernity. Whether you seek solace in history, appreciate exquisite design, or simply yearn for a delightful experience, Hotel Granada promises an unforgettable journey where the past and present unite. The hotel is managed by Aparium Hotel Group. Founded in 2011, Aparium is driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings and was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. Recognized by Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards as a leading hotel brand, Aparium is known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.
