    The downtown Atlanta-Vine City revitalization continues as Hard Rock International recently announced Reverb by Hard Rock, a new hotel concept that will be located in downtown Atlanta.

    Reverb by Hard Rock will be part of a new brand of music-centric hotels “designed as contemporary hubs where modern music lovers can connect and create,” the company said in a news release.

    Located  adjacent to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Reverb is tentatively planned to open in February 2020.

    “Reverb by Hard Rock will spotlight the guest in a whole new way and create a place for those who eat, sleep and breathe music to unite and collaborate,” Todd Hricko, senior vice president for Hard Rock Hotels, said in the release. “Atlanta is the perfect location for our first Reverb, as it is rich in music history, spanning from the greats like Ray Charles and the Black Crowes to current popular artists like Ludacris, Usher, Ciara and John Mayer.”

     Atlanta-based companies Bolton Atlanta, LP and Hotel Equities (HE) will develop and manage the hotel, which is expected to significantly lift the clout of the nearby Castleberry Hills neighborhood.

    “We’re proud to announce our collaboration with Hard Rock International in launching the inaugural Reverb by Hard Rock,” said Frank Chen, chief operating officer of Bolton Atlanta, LP. “The area’s energetic atmosphere and history of embracing artistic endeavors aligns well with the Reverb by Hard Rock hotel product.”

    Report: HQ2 Will Be Split Between Long Island, Northern Virginia

    CJ Johnson cj-johnson-2 November 13, 2018

    Well, it looks like Atlanta’s hopes of landing the world’s largest online retailer are over. The sweepstakes of getting Amazon’s second world headquarters is going to two cities in the Northeast. A new report from the New York Times says that Amazon’s HQ2 will be split between New York City’s Long Island and northern Virginia.

    The move would mean that each city would have about 25,000 employees each. The news gives life to several leading cities, including Atlanta, which heard with the rest of us last week that the HQ2, at least one of them, would be located in the Virginia area.

    Of all the cities vying to become the Amazon HQ2, Atlanta figured it had a leg up on the competition: world class airport, sizeable downtown and entertainment district, affordable housing and MARTA.

    But Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and team have been eerily silent on which city they will choose to bring 50,000 jobs to and $5 billion in investment. But now the world’s biggest online retailer has announced that it will have an answer before end of year.

    Late-stage negotiations with the New York City-New Jersey area involve more than $7 billion in incentives, the Journal reports.
