I hope Embassy Suites has figured out how to have their atrium and sound proof their rooms. Haven't stayed at an ES since 2002, when I slept in one and a parrot in the lobby (5 stories below) kept squawking through the night. Decided, the atrium thing was NOT for me. 

NO JOKE!!!!

Some of the newer Embassy Suites have ditched the atrium.  Not sure about this one.

Good point. There's an Embassy Suites that opened here about 4 years ago, and I think it does not have an atrium. We've eaten at a restaurant at the end of the lobby level, but I have not gone inside the hotel.

I traveled extensively with my work for years and finally realized that ear plugs were always a good choice for better sleep in ANY hotel. I don’t leave home without them!

This section of Demonbreun is going to feel like New York City.

Agreed.  I wish something could be done with the large surface lot behind the Baptist Church.  And also the Preds doing a little better of a job on that parking structure.

Can't say enough positive things about this development. Strong design, great curb appeal and street presence, increased skyline density.

Still a good bit of height left to go for this one. I'm excited to see the rust material for the cladding, it will add a nice bit of variety to all of the blue glass.
