Hotel Aragon

The Hotel Aragon was a six-story, 125-room hotel at 169 Peachtree Street NE, at the southeast corner of Ellis Street in Atlanta, in what is today the Peachtree Center area of downtown.

It was a major addition to the city's hotel capacity at its completion in 1892,[1] cost $250,000,[2] and was built and owned by George Washington Collier.

[3] It was the only major hotel in the city not adjacent to Union Station.

The plans by architect Francis Palmer Smith of firm Pringle & Smith showed "a proud monument of spirited Deco design, a Modernistic setback block rising twenty floors to a central tower".

[4] Instead, the hotel was razed to make way for the more modest Collier Building (1932), though still with Art Deco ornamentation.
