COOK HALL, ATLANTA
Gone from the W Atlanta-Buckhead hotel is the
Market restaurant, a global diner concept that
featured white terrazzo floors, chrome-detailed
furniture and swirled wall murals. In its place is
Cook Hall, a Prohibition era-inspired space populated with American walnut wood, vintage glassware and old-fashioned textured wall coverings.
That makeover, says Culinary Concepts Hospitality Group president James Gersten, reflects
changing dining preferences. “People are eating
out more frequently and are looking for great
food, service and a comfortable environment,”
says Gersten, whose New York-based restaurant

management group operates venues within several
of Starwood Hotels and Resorts’ W hotels, including
the Atlanta-Buckhead locale. “They don’t want the
pressure of ordering a bottle of wine at each meal or
three courses. It’s just not how we dine anymore.”
Brought in to create the interiors of a restaurant reflecting that new reality was Atlanta’s
blackdog studio LLC. “The original design direction
involved creating a gastro pub, but we knew that
trying to drop an English pub-style interior into a
very contemporary box would not necessarily be
successful,” says blackdog principal Carolyn AugerJoiner. “So we introduced some industrial/ware-

house techniques to help bridge the gap between
new and old. Culinary Concepts wanted to create
a neighborhood hang-out type of space that would
draw people in but also keep them coming back.
So making the interior casual and comfortable was
very important. Real hardwood floors, dark walls
and vintage lighting help bring that feeling home.”
Designers also installed communal-style tables
throughout the restaurant, which includes a 2,500sq.-ft. main level and an 800-sq.-ft. mezzanine. “That
allows groups of people to pull together tables as
needed for socializing, which reinforces the relaxed
vibe within the space,” says Auger-Joiner.
