RALEIGH, N.C. (Jan. 27, 2020) – Concord Hospitality Enterprises, an award-winning hotel development and management company, today celebrated the start of construction of the four-star Westin Atlanta Gwinnett Hotel. Concord Hospitality associates, representatives from Explore Gwinnett, Gwinnett County Government and Infinite Energy Center, along with other local dignitaries, gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony at the hotel site, located on the Infinite Energy Center campus.

Attendees had the opportunity to hear updates on the property and plans for the hotel – which will provide guests with easy access to the convention center, events at the Infinite Energy Center and more in the popular Atlanta area – from local representatives and speakers, including:

• Richard Tucker, Chairman, Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors
• Jace Brooks, District 1 Commissioner, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners
• Kevin McAteer, SVP of Marketing & Sales, Concord Hospitality

Located on the campus of the Infinite Energy Center near Duluth, Ga., the 11-story, 348-room Westin Atlanta Gwinnett Hotel will feature nearly 34,500 square feet of ballroom, meeting and pre-function space, three meal restaurants, lobby and rooftop bars, a coffee shop, an indoor pool, a fitness center and an outdoor fire pit, among other amenities. Of note, plans for the rooftop bar include three separate serving locations, making it an ideal venue to accommodate hundreds of guests for private events or large receptions. The property will also offer two hospitality suites with outdoor terraces, one presidential suite with a private terrace, four executive suites and six standard suites.

The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett Hotel will help service events at the newly expanded convention center. An exterior terrace will provide access to the convention center, while a bar terrace will connect to the Infinite Energy Center common areas. Guests can also experience VIP access to the Infinite Energy Center for events.

“As Concord’s sixth property in the Atlanta area, we are extremely proud to be working alongside Gwinnett County officials and tourism representatives to bring the new Westin Atlanta Gwinnett Hotel to Gwinnett,” said Mark Laport, President, and CEO of Concord Hospitality. “It is through collaborations with partners like these that we are able to continue expanding our footprint in the Atlanta market. We look forward to welcoming guests to Gwinnett County and allowing them to explore and experience all the area has to offer in the coming years.”

The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett Hotel is projected to open in the first quarter of 2022.
