Share your first dance beneath the crystal chandeliers of Legacy Ballroom. Join your new family for cocktails on the private terrace, featuring extraordinary views of the city skyline. A union like no other deserves a celebration to match. The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead fosters and infuses your one-of-a-kind day with the indelible, unforgettable charm of a Southern soiree.
Befitting extravagant receptions against a jewel-toned palette accented with metallic pops, our classically elegant space sets the stage for a memorable event of up to 1,000 guests. Completely customizable, The Whitley Ballroom’s 8,970 square feet of space can be tailored for smaller soirees for 20-60 attendees with the same luxurious ambiance.
Distinguished by its 14-foot ceiling, the new 5,000-square-foot Legacy Ballroom sparkles with crystal chandeliers for just the right amount of shimmer. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the space beckon warm, natural light and starry sky views at night. Start cocktail hour the traditionally Southern way – alfresco on the private terrace with a Mint Julep or The Whitley Cup cocktail – before retreating indoors to dance the night away.
Tucked away on the second floor, the adjacent grand staircase lends itself to a romantic bridal departure after a celebratory reception for up to 150 guests. Offering nearly 2,000 square feet of space, The Founders Room enchants with crystal chandeliers and mirror accents.
Conjuring up traditional Georgian pastimes, The Gallery features rich, mahogany walls flooded with natural light, where generations of Atlantans have gathered over the years. Romantic and decidedly Southern, The Gallery is the perfect pick for sophisticated rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons, or after-party socializing amid more than 3,000 square feet.
