Atlanta Cabana Motel - Artist's Illustration

From a promotional brochure for the project, here's an artist's conception painting of the Atlanta Cabana Motel, located at 870 Peachtree Street between the years 1958 and 2002. It turned out to be quite close to how the finished building looked, as you can see if you click the "Next Photo" link in the upper right hand corner.

The brochure described the Cabana's deluxe and exotic accommodations. "There are three major motifs in the rooms: Italian provincial, French provincial, and in some, an Oriental mandarin influence. Major luxury items within the baths include vanitories and colored fixtures. In the rooms are chaise lounges, handsome furniture, wall-to-wall all-wool carpeting (3 miles of it throughout), mirrored walls and many individual decorative features and color schemes.

There are two hundred and one guest rooms in five spacious stories. Each of these distinctive rooms is designed with you in mind, to make your stay here a truly memorable one.

The swimming pool, the most beautiful and modern in the south, is generous in size, classic in design, and modern in its appointments. The water is temperature-controlled and has sub-surface lights and music. Bathers may enjoy poolside dining. The keynote throughout is quiet, lavish luxury."
