Motto by Hilton Breaks Ground on Atlanta Hotel, Signs Six More Properties

MCLEAN, Va. — This week, Hilton celebrated the groundbreaking of one of the first Motto by Hilton hotels. The 146-room Motto by Hilton Atlanta Old Fourth Ward (O4W), slated to open in 2021, will join Waldo’s, an $80 million mixed-use development project that will include food and beverage outlets and commercial and residential spaces. The development is led by Lucror Resources and equity partner Sixty West. The hotel will be operated by Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based, private hotel investment, ownership, and management company.

“As we build on Motto by Hilton’s unique take on today’s lifestyle hotel experience with efficient micro-guest rooms, linking rooms for group travel, innovative technology, vibrant communal space, and locally inspired design and food and beverage offerings, we are excited to celebrate this groundbreaking moment in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward,” said Tripp McLaughlin, global brand head, Motto by Hilton.

Additionally, Motto by Hilton continues to expand in urban destinations across the United States and internationally, with six additional confirmed property signings in Brooklyn, New York; Chelsea, New York; Indianapolis, Indiana; Lima, Peru; Savannah, Georgia; and Washington, D.C.
