Noted hospitality industry veteran Niles Harris has been named general manager of the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Atlanta just steps from Peachtree Street. He is responsible for overseeing all operations of the hotel, which is one of Atlanta’s largest meeting and convention hotels with 760 guest rooms and suites, and 90,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. The Sheraton Atlanta Hotel is a consistent recipient of the meetings industry’s highest honors, including Meetings & Conventions magazine’s prestigious “Gold Key Award,” Corporate & Incentive Travel magazine’s coveted “Award of Excellence,” and ConventionSouth magazine’s “Readers’ Choice Award.”
A 25-year hospitality industry veteran, Harris most recently was president of his own company, The Hotel Concierge, which develops and licenses cutting-edge Web-based software for hotels, luxury residential complexes, and office buildings. Prior to that, he served as Area Director of Operations of the Southeast for Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, and was based in Atlanta. Previous positions include serving as the Area Director of Operations for the Northeast for Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, General Manager for Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta, Hotel Manager of the venerable Essex House Hotel on Central Park South in New York City, and Executive Assistant Manager for Hotel Nikko Atlanta in Buckhead. Harris has also held executive positions with Omni Hotels as well as independent luxury resorts and hotels throughout the country.
“I’m very pleased to be joining such an outstanding hotel as the Sheraton Atlanta,” said Harris. “Not only does the hotel feature a great location in the heart of downtown Atlanta, but it is known for its exceptional offerings for groups, business travelers, vacationers, and the local business and social community. Plus, the hotel has a great staff that is consistently recognized for their high level of service. I’m very proud to be joining such a fine organization.”
Offerings at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel include 760 guest rooms and suites that feature a one-of-a-kind contemporary design, the luxurious new Sheraton Sweet SleeperSM beds, Sheraton Bliss bath amenities, and the availability of wireless high-speed Internet access.
In addition, the first class meeting hotel is sure to exceed your group’s expectations with a beautiful 17,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor poolside Garden Courtyard with a fully retractable roof, a 24-hour fitness center, a full-service business center, concierge, a gift shop, the upscale Fandangles restaurant, the casual Collage restaurant, a 24-hour deli, and 24-hour in-room dining service.
With big changes underway, the Sheraton Atlanta will complete its property revitalization journey with the celebration of a $13 million guest room renovation project, unveiling 760 brand new guest rooms by the first quarter of 2010. Further enhancements are expected this fall when the hotel presents the new Link@Sheraton Experienced with Microsoft, an innovative working space with new technology applications and latest communication hub for offering guests one-of-a-kind networking opportunities.
Ideally located, the hotel is within walking distance of Peachtree Center, Centennial Park, CNN Center, The Georgia Aquarium, New World of Coke, Underground Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center. Surrounded by exciting shopping, dining and nightlife, the hotel is also convenient to the Georgia State Capital, and such sporting venues as Philips Arena, the Georgia Dome and Turner Field.
