About Us

A NEW ATLANTA FAVORITE

In 1905, the Coca-Cola founder, Asa Candler, commissioned two architects to create a building that would become a landmark on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. The work of these architects, George Stewart and George E. Murphy, has been lovingly restored and reopened in the summer of 2019 as The Candler Hotel. The restoration of this stunning Beaux-Arts masterpiece represents a homecoming for Atlanta, bringing back a metropolitan polish that transcends trends and time.

Within this iconic building, you will find a restaurant named By George, in honor of the architects who crafted its space. By George is the hotel's destination dining room, offering pure, classic cuisine with heavy influences from Contemporary American cooking. To complement the dishes, the restaurant has an extensive wine program and expertly crafted cocktails. The restaurant is open throughout the day, and the outward-facing design is fitting for a location that has so much to offer. 

The Candler Hotel, with its towering marble columns, tinkling chandeliers, and original period elevators, is a symbol of the metropolitan refinement that existed in Atlanta's city center. By George is a reminder of this refinement, bringing back the Beaux Arts era to the heart of Atlanta. You don't want to miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience!

Our Story

HOW IT ALL STARTED

At By George, form and function are inextricably linked; the unparalleled beauty of the Candler Building demanded a restaurant and cuisine of equally timeless appeal. Our initial idea of serving food and drinks to both our downtown community and travelers being introduced to Atlanta for the first time has evolved into a bold vision of sophisticated executions of classic dishes, an extensive selection of exquisite wines and cocktails, and a welcoming environment that invites you to stay a while.
