Hard Rock Hotel planned near the Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Hard Rock International will open in spring 2018 a 220-room Hard Rock Hotel Atlanta on Centennial Olympic Park Drive next to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Hard Rock Hotel Atlanta would come to a planned project called Castleberry Park. Atlanta Business Chronicle reported in September 2014 a hotel was part of the mixed-use development.

The hotel is being developed in partnership with an entity called Bolton Atlanta LP. It's being funded through the EB-5 program, part of the Immigrant Investor Program established by U.S. Congress in 1990 to stimulate the economy through job creation and capital investment by immigrant investors.
