- It’s been abandoned for years, but there could be hope for the former Presidential Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.

Yes! Finally, someone did a video on this! I drive by this all the time, and I've been wanting to know the history of it!
Just giving an update on my trip here. Me and brother decided to check this place out after seeing multiple reviews on it and it supposedly being security free. After managing to find an entry point into the lot (took about 30 mins due to barbed wire and fencing) we scouted it another 15 mins then started to look for an entry point in to the building (it is completely boarded up) we managed to pull back some of the boarding and work our way in and to the top (not as hard as everyone makes it seem). After getting to the top we made the mistake of climbing the billboard and that’s is where we were spotted by security and got the hell out of there. 5 mins went by and we were back at the bottom, walked out, climbed fencing and next thing you know police and security are swarming the place with the gates open searching for us. If you do go here make sure you are very careful!! Anyone that says no security is BS, this place is getting more and more strict.
I was there yesterday, they boarded up the stairway so that nobody could climb to the top but there’s a crack in the ceiling that lets you climb up to the next floor to take the stairs and it’s an amazing view from the top you can see downtown, mid town, sandy springs and Stone Mountain
Man I can remember seeing this building at night and how it would changes colors beautifully and used to be purple at night on the freeway. Man years as passed.
Has it been torn down yet? The main reason for the problem is that over the years when Spaghetti Junction was reconfigured back in the late 1980's exists were moved and others eliminated rendering the location obsolete. Just tear it down. Circular buildings are difficult at best to configure into profitable spaces.
Hello im commenting hopping to save some people from the mistake me and my boy did. the place looks dope who wouldent however the place is covered head to toe in razer wire somehow we found a 2 inch clearence under the fence which is now blocked, after 2 hours of looking around the building noticing trail cameras in every direction we dident care. everywhere is boarded by welded metal doors we found one point that had a wood boared and sopent 40 minutes getting through. we finally got in.. however in seconds a car pulled off and nailed the bored back leaving us trapped inside the horrifing building we waiting for him to leave then as sun went down we tried throwing our bodys through the bored to get out..dident work.. apperntly the owner drove his truck away and waitied for us to try to scape once he heard us he ran to the door then asking for our phones we ran back we ended up calling the police to get us out it took an hour for them to come im still a litlle creeped by the situation..i have to pay the man 400 because he owns the whole land and we destroyed proptery the man has pressed charges on multiple kids.. tbh not the smartest move if your tryna get in this place. i promise you the owner will get you. theres alot more shit that went down that was terrifing when we were stuck in that building and the man had us traped in there but i dont want to address that publicly.
Zombieland 2 shot there in 2019. I was working on the project and got to see this place up close. The whole finale to the movie uses this building as its exterior 💫
I used to go clubbing on the first floor in the early 00s
The last I heard, it was sold to a developer to build a retirement community. It looks they're working behind the building if you drive down Presidential Drive. One of local media had pictures of the proposed project, and there were plans to build a couple of other buildings around it. A couple of friends always stayed there for local conventions, like Dragon Con because it was usually one of the last hotels to sell out as it wasn't easy to get to. Those suites with the big windows were pretty much small apartments as they had a master bedroom along with a sofa bed & a small kitchen and refrigerator. The rates were in the low $100's per night, and I kinda regretted not having discovered them sooner. I think when the fire marshall evicted everyone, most of the tenant's property got left behind as you couldn't move without power. The building wasn't boarded up for the longest time, and I was tempted to look inside, but I had no idea if anyone was squatting there & I'm too old to be charged with trespassing. The building suffered a couple of waves of graffiti on the outside, and I guess it got the owners motivated to get a security guard on the property. It's been gutted, so I'm not sure what lies ahead regarding its progress, but maybe they'll finish it once things get a little better. Great footage! Thanks for posting!
They're going to have the same problem tearing this building down like when they tried to tear down the old C&S bank building.
I live in Lawrenceville so I take that highway like everyday since 2009 and I always seen that building and wondered what it is and was amazing video
Great drone footage! Looks like renovation work has already begun, with the windows removed (they were still intact in the most recent Street View images).
In 2016 hardly any windows were broken, sucks to see it like that. It made it seem untouched haha
We used to party at club Europe there lol
I remember partying a bit too hard and getting kicked out of that club with some friends about 22 years ago. Lol
I've been seeing this hotel when I go on the highway
I think it could be a great place for a corporate headquarters. I remember that building and it gives me nostalgia seeing it. When I was a kid living in Atlanta, when my father rode in route to downtown, I saw that building from the spaghetti junction every single time. And the billboards were the most interesting part of the building. I hope they don't demolish the place, and I hope they cand find a permanent purpose for it.
It's still in bad shape. But thanks for the video I've lived in the northwest Atlanta suburbs since I was a kid in 2009 but I just noticed this for the first time when yesterday I had to drive from Newnan to Lawrenceville and back it looked so weird I had to know what it was
Always wanted to know what this building use to be....
I see this almost all the time and I always wondered what was going to happen to it
