The Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Georgia was constructed in 1967. The John Portman designed building was the original Hyatt Regency property, was the first hotel centered around an atrium, and has influenced hotel design since.[citation needed] The building consists of the main "Atrium Tower" and two extensions, completed in 1971 and 1982, containing a total of 1,260 rooms[1]. This hotel, along with the Marriott Marquis and the Hilton serves as the host for Dragon*Con. On top of the Hyatt Regency is a revolving restaurant called Polaris. This was John Portman's 1st revolving restaurant of many. It was opened when the building was built and closed in January of 2004. Polaris was in need of renovation and it is not clear when it will be open again. Polaris is the round structure on top of the Hyatt.
