Atlanta welcomes its newest boutique hotel—the $30 million JdV by Hyatt property called the Chambray Hotel. It’s situated in the northern Atlanta suburb of Roswell, Georgia, and features amenities like 1,300 square feet of flexible meetings and events space, a fitness center, and a 24-hour market.
The newest Boutique hotel in Atlanta’s downtown district is the latest project by Swinerton, an industry-leading commercial general contractor with offices nationwide and one of the nation’s largest hotel and resort contractors and construction management firms. The hotel is a joint venture between DSM Real Estate Partners and Garage Cap, with Matt Michell Design as the project’s architect.
The luxury five-story property is located at the intersection of Alpharetta Highway and Frasier Street, about two blocks east of the food and beverage scene on Canton Street.
According to Swinerton, the Chambray Hotel will feature 125 rooms across five floors and overlook the city’s historic district. The community also strongly desires the property to be sustainable and maintain its historic resources.
“Not only are we known for delivering high-quality spaces, but our team of hospitality builders has ample experience in complex environments like the Chambray Hotel that requires well-timed logistics, especially with tight site conditions as the site is surrounded on all four sides by streets or occupied buildings,” said Roya Vermillion, Preconstruction Executive at Swinerton’s Atlanta Division.
The property will feature:
- Rooftop restaurant
- Ground floor restaurant
- 24-hour market
- alet services
- 1,300 square feet of meeting space
- Fitness center
Swinerton’s scope includes ground-up construction and the design-build of the mechanical/electrical/plumbing/fire Safety (MEPF) systems. The structure will be steel and masonry with hollow-core precast floor decks. Keeping up with the latest industry trends, Swinerton plans to leverage innovative construction tech like OpenSpace. This 3-D modeling technology collects data via helmet devices during walk-throughs to deliver exact models of the space for documentation, reference, and planning purposes.
“This development also allows us to expand our self-perform offerings to a new area, which will inevitably result in cost and time savings for the client,” adds Derek Mosiman, Vice President and Division Manager for Swinerton’s Atlanta Division. “We are thrilled to be involved in such a pivotal project that brings much-needed hospitality amenities to the popular Downtown Roswell neighborhood.”
Atlanta has become a hotspot for hotel development. According to a recent US Construction Pipeline Trend Report from the Lodging Econometrics (LE) report, Atlanta and Dallas lead the US hotel construction pipeline for 2024. Dallas leads with 185 projects/21,882 rooms, slightly below record highs at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, but Atlanta follows closely with a record high of 153 projects/17,929 rooms.
Other notable projects in the Atlanta area include the Hyatt Centric Buckhead, Nobu Hotel Atlanta, Margaritaville Vacation Club by Wyndham, and the 230-room Kimpton Shane Hotel. Earlier this year, the 976-room Signia by Hilton Atlanta, the city’s largest ground-up hotel development project in 40 years, also opened its doors.
