Come June and July, 2026 FIFA World Cup attendees will have nearly 200 additional lodging options within walking distance of matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 

The latest in a wave of downtown hotel openings and proposals, Moxy Atlanta Downtown, announced today the property’s grand opening celebration is scheduled for March 26. 

The Marriott International property is described as a vibrant lifestyle hotel with “Moxy’s signature playful design and social spaces,” topped with a rooftop lounge concept called Jagger Suite, per project reps. 

The 183-room property will also include Eggslut, a trendy Los Angeles-based breakfast and gourmet sandwich chain, joining another planned Eggslut location at Krog District as the first on the East Coast. Moxy’s plans also call for a bar at street level and a speakeasy. 

Currently, the earliest bookings available at Moxy Atlanta Downtown are for Sunday, March 15, when rates start at $207 nightly for rooms with one queen bed.

Valet parking will cost $55 per day, and dogs are welcome for a $75 fee per stay. For the downtown property, a complimentary cocktail at Bar Moxy comes with each stay. 

The 10-story Moxy hotel—tweaked from its original taller (and bolder) designs—fills a gap in Marietta Street’s tourism district formerly occupied by a parking lot and low-rise commercial building. It stands next to Hyatt Place Atlanta hotel near Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, Georgia World Congress Center, the College Football Hall of Fame, and The Benz, among other attractions.

The hotel giant bills the Moxy concept as more playful, stylish, and affordable than more upscale brands under its flag. More than 125 Moxy locations operate around the world.

Marriott opened its other Atlanta Moxy hotel—a dual-branded fusion of Moxy and its European-inspired AC Hotel brand—on 14th Street in Midtown just before another marquee sporting event, Atlanta’s 2019 Super Bowl.

Downtown’s Moxy is being developed by Nexera Capital and Emerge Hospitality Group and will be operated by LBA Hospitality. It will join numerous hospitality ventures under construction now, or delivered in recent years, within walking distance of downtown’s arenas, signature park, and slate of tourist attractions. 

A quick rundown: 

Fronting Centennial Olympic Park, the 22-story Margaritaville resort condo building by Wyndham Destinations opened in 2022 with 200 suites and two floors of retail near SkyView Atlanta. The Signia by Hilton project delivered almost 1,000 hotel rooms in 2024, marking Atlanta’s tallest new hotel in four decades. Elsewhere, adaptive-reuse The Origin Hotel Atlanta, a Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property, debuted in early 2025. 

Centennial Yards officially opened its first hotel in November—the 229-room Hotel Phoenix—with another 230-room lodge also rising as part of that project’s entertainment and sports district. A smaller boutique hotel component is also gearing up to break ground where Centennial Yards meets the Castleberry Hill loft and arts district, officials have told Urbanize Atlanta. 

Meanwhile, near the northeast edge of Centennial Olympic Park, a proposed Residence Inn by Marriott would rise 14 stories. 

Plans also came to light last year for a 381-room hotel that would include the Motto by Hilton brand at 524 West Peachtree St., where the 1920s Rosser Building was demolished several years ago.
