voco hotels, a premium brand under IHG Hotels & Resorts, has made its Atlanta debut with the opening of voco The Darwin Hotel in the Old Fourth Ward.
This converted 111-room property blends the brand’s upscale charm with the vibrant culture of one of Atlanta’s most dynamic neighborhoods, offering a unique experience for both locals and visitors.
The conversion and opening of voco The Darwin Hotel align the thoughtful and distinct quality of voco hotels with a property that offers more than five decades of history. Known for combining the familiarity and comforts of a global hotel brand with the charm and informality of an individual property, voco hotels invite guests into a warm and welcoming approach to hospitality that fosters meaningful connection.
Beyond integrating contemporary style and nods to the vibrant tradition and culture of the Old Fourth Ward throughout the property, voco The Darwin Hotel will highlight the brand’s commitment to sustainability through plant-based amenities, indulgent bedding with filling made from 100 percent recycled materials and complimentary filtered water in reusable bottles.
voco The Darwin Hotel further promotes connection among guests and to the surrounding area through unstuffy spaces and customized amenities that invite visitors to feel at home from the moment they arrive.
The four-story building includes a central courtyard, onsite dog park and outdoor cocktail bar featuring a curated selection of craft drinks, local beers and snacks. Guests also can stay refreshed and fuel up throughout the day among an onsite restaurant serving breakfast, dinner and grab-and-go lunch options and a beverage bar that offers the brand’s signature barista-served coffee and pastries from Atlanta staple Alon’s Bakery.
For additional regional flavor, the hotel will feature a rotating pop-up local chef program and provide two electric bicycles that guests can rent to travel to nearby attractions such as Ponce City Market, the Beltline and the Georgia Aquarium.
Carol Hoeller, Vice President of Global Brand Management for voco hotels, said, “As the first voco hotel in Atlanta, and in the backyard of our Americas regional headquarters, voco The Darwin Hotel marks an exciting milestone for our rapidly growing brand. We invite visitors and our Atlanta neighbors to ‘come on in’ and experience voco hotels firsthand.”
Launched in 2018 as a flexible, premium brand, voco hotels in on pace to exceed its goal of having more than 200 open global hotels by 2028. The opening of voco The Darwin Hotel follows voco The Tuxon’s September debut in Tucson, Ariz., and precedes planned late 2024 openings in Mexico City, Cincinnati and Laguna Hills, Calif.
