The picture shows some of the beauty of the Georgian Terrace’s lobby. The glass ceiling allows a lot of natural light to enter the building, making the whole space seem a good deal warmer. The combination of the many balconies and the circular structure itself is also quite a sight to behold.

Interior Built Environment Description

The Georgian Terrace Is an almost deceptively large building, as I turned to see it I thought it was rather cozy, but as soon as I entered the building the thought was replaced with one wondering at the Terrace’s scale. Seeing the lobby’s beautiful ceiling left me with the impression that the building was wonderfully designed, its many renovations over the years obviously to its benefit. As I continued into the building I was repeatedly reminded of its nature as a luxury hotel. Grandeur flowed from the environment freely, there was an abundancy of art, from the portraits, to the chandeliers, to the floors themselves.  The lobby lead to an open room housing a piano. The room was called the Piedmont Foyer as reported a sign at its entrance. The open nature of the room only gave it more of sense of elegance, as it connected to a staircase and one of the Terrace’s ballrooms. I was able to peek into the ballroom but was disappointed to find it occupied by staff preparing it for some type of event. From the foyer I moved further into the building by way of the stairs which led into another entrance and an area called the “Atlanta Conference Center”. The center seemed to consist of several hallways of meeting rooms though I was unable to venture down each. As I made my way to return to the Georgian Terrace’s lobby I found that the piano in the Piedmont Foyer was being played on by a guest, lending a bit of music to the otherwise quiet space.
