The Grand Ballroom has officially opened its doors at 207 Peachtree in Downtown Atlanta. This launch marks the first time all floors of the historic former department store have been active since the late 1970s.
Why it matters
The opening follows a $10.5 million modernization project aimed at revitalizing the landmark site while preserving its historic character. This transformation brings new utility to a prominent Downtown Atlanta intersection.
The new Grand Ballroom encompasses 10,000 square feet and features 14-foot ceilings with crystal chandeliers. The venue is designed to accommodate over 300 guests with full-service catering and staffing.
