Description: The stunning architecture of the Conference Center and its hotel are inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. On five floors available for groups or individuals, this hotel has 198 rooms with amenities including exercise facilities with an indoor pool, sauna, spa with a massage therapist available by appointment, iron and board in every room, and coffeemaker. There’s a lobby lounge with pool tables and a large-screen TV, and a dining room with full-kitchen service providing food service during off hours. A tennis court and a basketball court are on the premises. A nature trail for less strenuous exercise is also part of the grounds. Nearby is the Fernbank Museum, Emory Hospital and University, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and it’s an easy cab ride to Virginia-Highland and all the nightlife and restaurants that have made the neighborhood a hub for in-town folks. The D. Abbott Turner Center itself is a 7,000-square-foot facility that can accommodate groups of up to 250 people.
