A leafy horseshoe-shaped courtyard is the centre of Hotel Granada, a revived 1924 Spanish Colonial building in Atlanta’s Midtown district. Terracotta, arched forms and a palette of rustic greens, blues and yellows give the rooms and public areas a warm Southern character without overstating the historic references. Restaurant and bar tables extend beneath mature planting and covered walkways, making the courtyard the property’s principal social room. The low stucco façade and intimate gathering spaces form a quiet architectural counterpoint to Midtown’s museums, theatres and modern towers.
