GWCC Hotel and Conference Center

Request for Proposal for DV/AV Systems – Service Interface

Drew Company Atlanta, LLC (the “Developer”), is pleased to issue this Request for Proposal for the GWCC Hilton Signia Hotel and Convention Center, located at the Georgia World

Congress Center campus in Atlanta, Georgia on behalf of the Georgia World Congress

Center Authority (the “Owner”).

Project Description

The Georgia World Congress Center Signia Hilton Hotel is a new approximately 1,000 key convention hotel in Atlanta which will be connected to the existing Georgia World Congress

Center (GWCC). This new hotel will strengthen the GWCC and Atlanta’s position as a national premier destination for sports, entertainment, and convention. The project’s front door and vehicular entrance is from Northside Drive, with an equally prominent pedestrian entrance off of Andrew Young International Boulevard. The new hotel is connected to the existing GWCC Building C to the North and the existing GWCC B-C Connector to the East.

The project has excellent visibility to both the new Mercedes Benz Stadium and Home

Depot Back Yard to the South and will be a beacon on the GWCC campus with visibility for miles around metro-Atlanta.

In addition to the approximately 1,000 guestrooms and associated pool, fitness, and clubroom amenities, the project includes approximately 75,000 square feet of new meeting space organized into three zones: a social ballroom, a grand ballroom, and a conference center. These conference spaces can be used independently from or in conjunction with the existing GWCC convention space. The program also includes a three-meal restaurant, signature restaurant, multiple bars, and several outdoor spaces to support the hotel and surrounding campus activities. With its prominent connection to the new Mercedes Benz

Stadium and close proximity to newly renovated State Farm arena, the hotel amenities serve not only hotel guests but also visitors to the broader sports and entertainment campus on which the GWCC Hotel sits.
