The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it has signed a long-term agreement to manage a new luxury hotel and condo tower in Atlanta, Georgia. The project is scheduled to open in 2011.
The Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta and The Residences is set to be a 53-storey, 198 guestroom development in the heart of Atlanta's arts district. Once completed it will be one of the city's tallest structures, with a glass façade and views over Piedmont Park.

Edouard Ettedgui, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental, said: "Mandarin Oriental is delighted to have been selected by the owners and developers of this exciting project, and look forward to the opportunity of extending our luxury brand into one of America's fastest-growing cities."
