"We're excited that Glenn is joining Autograph Collection. This premier hotel collection recognizes the vision of style, comfort, service and history we've instilled at the Glenn," said Walter Isenberg, President and CEO, Sage Hospitality.
"Our guests continue to enjoy the same independent and unique hotel experience they've come to expect from our hotel," said Nanci Sherman, Chief Happiness Officer of Glenn hotel. "At Glenn, we strive to create the feeling of staying with an old friend, and guests are charmed by their own personal hosts that cater to them during their stay, ensuring that they'll never want to leave!"
Glenn's motto is "stay with a friend," and the hotel does everything possible to make visitors feel like they are the houseguest of a good friend, rather than a stranger in a hotel. The hotel has a longstanding history in the city, originally opened as office space in 1923 and turned into a hotel in 2006. Guests are welcomed into a cozy living room of a lobby, complete with comfy leather couches and contemporary decorations -- including a lamp made entirely out of old keys. The hotel's employees are dubbed "personal hosts," there to cater to guests and make sure their stay is as comfortable as possible. Hosts are on-call throughout the duration of the stay, from the welcome drink upon check-in to the final checkout.
Glenn's guests are welcome to home cooking at the hotel's restaurant. After your meal, head upstairs to the lively rooftop bar, with cocktail hours featuring the city's best DJs providing a soundtrack to the sweeping views of downtown Atlanta.
