be found throughout all public spaces and business rooms, with a blend of textures featuring Nicaraguan wood, green velvet, built-in desks, era-specific plant-life with many of the original elements of the building still intact. While the Fairlane Hotel's lobby is a hub for all types of business dealings, the hotel also features two spaces for sizeable, yet intimate meetings – Both located on the 2nd floor, The 811-sq. ft. Big Business Room (seats up to 40 people) and The 315-sq. ft. Business Room (seats up to 14 people) both state of the art meeting space, while staying true to the midcentury design and vibe of the hotel. But the best and most unique meeting space at the hotel is on the rooftop, with era-specific design and décor coupled with unprecedented views of Music City. Decked to the nines with the swag of the 70s, two alluring top-floor penthouses provide 4,000 sq. ft. of combinable event space. The Penthouse affords the luxury of working and playing in style while showcasing the best views of downtown and beyond from the wraparound terrace. The playful Penthouses can be combined for events, meetings and pop-ups that are sure to become the talk of the town. I am happy to provide additional details on the Penthouses, including specific details on the layout and features of these spaces.

Look no fur- ther than Hotel Clermont, which emulates many of the aspects that make "The City Too Busy to Hate" so great. Opened in June 2018, the hotel is one of very few boutique hotels in the city, is centrally locat- ed in the colorful Poncey-Highland neigh- borhood and offers a variety of award-win- ning food and beverage experiences on site – not to mention its location above the Clermont Lounge, the South's oldest strip club beloved by many a celebrity – which is located in Hotel Clermont's basement and operated under independent owner- ship. While the 94-room historic boutique hotel does not have a formal ballroom, pri- vate events can be hosted on Hotel Clermont's rambling rooftop (capacity 200), French-American brasserie Tiny Lou's (seated 108, cocktail 200) or sultry lobby bar, all of which boast truly unique design aesthetics that encapsulate the eras since the building's 1924 genesis. Hosting a smaller crowd? The hotel also features a variety of small galleries and a library with a table that seats up to 12 guests – perfect for that afternoon board meeting before hitting some of the hottest haunts in town. KIMPTON OVERLAND – ATLANTA Atlanta's newest Kimpton hotel, Kimpton Overland , takes combining busi- ness and leisure travel to the next level, turning any meeting or work event into a fun-filled experience for all. Located just minutes from the city's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and adjacent to the Porsche Experience Center, Kimpton Overland blends convenience with out-of- this-world experiences for out of town guests and provides an epic staycation experience for native Atlantans. Featuring 6,100 square feet of total event space – including an elegant ballroom, two salons perfect for innovative breakout sessions, spacious pre-function areas, a full-service restaurant and both indoor and outdoor rooftop event spaces with #viewsfordays – Kimpton Overland offers something for everyone.
