Colony Square: Midtown’s Modern Playground

Located in the heart of Midtown, Colony Square has quickly become the go-to destination for Atlantans seeking culture, cuisine, connection, and class. 

Completed after a four-year, $400 Million transformation, this iconic redevelopment project has become an Atlanta staple. It’s been reintroduced as a lifestyle hub, blending elegance with energy. No matter the occasion, Colony Square has something for everyone, whether it’s a quick weekday lunch, a polished night out, or a weekend escape. 

At the center of it all is Politan Row, an upscale chef-driven food hall showcasing 11 distinctive restaurants across diverse cuisines. Serving everything, from global street food to locally inspired dishes, it’s a culinary experience curated for discovery. Anchoring the space in the middle of it all is Bar Politan, a stunning open bar, an ideal spot to pause between bites, sip craft cocktails, conversate, and watch the buzz of Midtown. 

Tucked within Politan Row is JoJo’s Beloved Cocktail lounge, a hidden speakeasy that whisks guests back to the 1970s with velvet banquettes, retro decor, gold accents, and a curated cocktail list. It’s the kind of place where every feature, ranging from music to glassware, sets the mood. 

Luxury extends beyond the food hall. The Starling, Colony Square’s signature hotel, provides a luxurious stay in the city’s core. With 466 rooms of modern comfort and a sweeping skyline view, it offers a stylish retreat to both locals and visitors. In addition, nearly 1 million square feet of office and event space cater to Atlanta’s business community, pairing productivity with convenience.  

For entertainment, IPIC Theatres redefines the moviegoing experience. Here, film is elevated with plush seating, tableside service and a gourmet menu crafted for more than just snacking. Dining at Colony Square goes far beyond casual. For a more elegant night out, savor delicious handmade pasta and Italian wines at Serena Pastificio, or indulge in elevated Persian cuisine at Rumi’s Kitchen. 

What ties it all together is the focus on community and culture. The Plaza and The Grove provide a welcoming green space for concerts, fitness classes, and seasonal celebrations. These open-air escapes create balance, inviting guests to not just dine or work, but to linger, relax, and connect.  

Whether it’s sipping cocktails in JoJo’s speakeasy, savoring handmade pastas or catching a film in a velvet recliner, Colony Square offers a place where moments are effortlessly redefined.
