TVS and TVS Interiors have completed the second phase of a $138 million renovation of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. Phase II focused on the addition of the new Atrium Ballroom, the renovation of the existing Marquis Ballroom, the renovation of the main lobby and front desk, and the brand new fitness center and spa.

The Atrium Ballroom is a 25,000-sq.- ft. space, divisible into two major sections. The north long wall of the ballroom is a 43 ft.-tall curtainwall system with translucent, striated etching on the glass, graduated from 95 percent transluscent at eye level to clear at the top. Motorized roller shades at all windows can achieve blackout for the space.  The south wall engages the curve of the existing building with a curved and sloping ceiling. The 30 ft. high ceiling undulates in a series of fabric panels, with a continuous cable grid of lights that turns the entire ceiling into a chandelier. This space is expected to host the major events at the hotel, from very large meetings to professional-scale performances.

The renovated Marquis Ballroom is approximately 23,000 sq. ft., divisible into 4 sections. The design intent was to create a dynamic yet very warm and comfortable space with multi-colored wall panels with stainless steel trim and strong wood accents on the walls which work with the fabric and bead chandeliers. A walnut panel entrance portals to create a rich setting for many types of events.

The main lobby received a completely new and enhanced front desk as well as a relocated concierge desk and new seating areas. The front desk was pushed back into the space and curved to reflect the architecture of the atrium, and is now broken up into sections. The desk is appointed with white marble slabs accented with wenge wood below and anegre wood pedestals. A curved wenge soffit with new pendant lighting was added to the ceiling above. New self-service check-in kiosks are installed into a custom millwork-surround.

The new fitness center was relocated and expanded from its existing location to the east end of the lobby level. Located next to it is a brand new spa with seven treatment rooms, a manicure/pedicure room, and men's and women's lockers that are shared with the fitness center. The spa is finished in rich bamboo floors and walls with a glass mosaic tile water wall at the entrance.
