ATLANTA—Swiss real estate investment company ACRON has tapped Capella Hotel Group to introduce and manage the Solís Hotel at Two Porsche Drive, located adjacent to the Porsche Experience Center here.
The Solís property, scheduled to open in 2017, will be designed by HOK Architects, which also designed the Porsche Cars North America headquarters. Peter Silling & Associates will craft the hotel’s interior design.
“We will add a sophisticated hotel to the complex that reflects the high standards of excellence for which Porsche is renowned,” said Horst Schulze, chairman and CEO, Capella Hotel Group.
“Our partners, Capella Hotel Group, HOK Architects, and Peter Silling, will produce a singular hotel experience befitting its location and association with one of the most famous brands in the world,” said Klaus Bender, chairman, ACRON.
The property will be the first new hotel on the east side of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport since the opening of the new International Terminal.
“We are grateful for the collaboration of the city of Hapeville and Fulton County, with our development team, led by Castleton Holdings, LLC’s Bruce Bradley and Condra Group, LLC’s Scott Condra. Exciting days are ahead, with groundbreaking scheduled for late March,” said Greg Wilson, CEO, ACRON USA.
The hotel will offer 214 guestrooms and signature suites; restaurants and bars featuring seasonal cooking; and 6,500 sq. ft. of event space, including a 3,600 sq. ft. ballroom and a rooftop lounge with views of the Porsche handling course. Amenities will include services for guests to pick up their newly purchased Porsche vehicles, coordinating driving experiences and visits to the Porsche campus.
