When viewers watch the latest news on CNN, they are watching a network based at the CNN Center, home also to the Atlanta Omni Hotel, one of the most well known hotels in Atlanta, Ga. This hotel encompasses a 15 story high rise connected by skywalk to a 24 story tower.
The Omni, a 16 mile jaunt from Hartsfield International Airport, sits opposite Centennial Olympic Park and connects to the Philips Arena and the Georgia World Congress Center. The Omni also is the closest hotel to the Georgia Dome, home to the NFL Falcons.
Many downtown attractions, stores and entertainment venues are located within walking distance.
With views of Centennial Olympic Park and downtown Atlanta, the hotel's open kitchen Prime Meridian Restaurant draws tourists, locals, and CNN employees. Latitudes Bistro and Lounge provides plenty of people watching space. Other property amenities include underground access to the MARTA light rail line, CNN Center food court and post office, and the Turner Athletic Club.
With Art Déco overtones, soft hues of cream and mauve, and oversized furnishings, guestrooms are well equipped with modern amenities, such as on demand movies, triple phone lines and WebTV. Through floor to ceiling windows, the rooms present views of the atrium terrace, the downtown skyline or the Centennial Olympic Park. They also include workstations with modem connections.
Guests can ask at the front desk for "Get Fit Kits," which include floor mats, hand weights and elastic bands for mini workouts in their guestrooms. Outdoors, guests can find running and walking trails in and around Centennial Olympic Park.
