Hotel Colee, Buckhead’s first Autograph Collection Hotel, is open and poised to make an impression, thanks to interior designer Andrew Alford of Andrew Alford Creative. Some of the features at Hotel Colee include a port cochere with a streamer art installation, a rooftop infinity pool, and a lobby that features an installation paying homage to barber shops and beauty parlors. Alford was recruited to the project by Practice Hospitality’s CEO Bashar Wali. “Creating hotels is part art, part science. We’ve quite rightly spent the last year focused on the science: safety, technology, paring back the experience to the essential components,” Wali said. “But I knew Andrew was the right person to design a hotel for the post-pandemic world because he is not just a designer – he’s an artist.”
