The Penthouse at Grand Plaza
The elevator opens at the fifty-first floor, and the city unfolds in every direction. This duplex penthouse occupies the top two levels of a Midtown Atlanta high-rise, a residence where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views that stretch from Buckhead to downtown and beyond. The scale is immediate and arresting. Sunlight fills the open living spaces during the day, and at night, the skyline becomes a shifting constellation of light just beyond the glass. A fireplace anchors the main living area, its warmth a counterpoint to the vastness outside.
The 51/52nd Floor Penthouse spans two stories connected by an interior staircase, offering the rare sensation of vertical living at altitude. The layout feels generous without excess. A fully equipped kitchen opens to the main gathering space, designed for evenings spent cooking and lingering over long conversations with the city as backdrop. Bedrooms are positioned to take full advantage of the views, each morning beginning with an unobstructed horizon. The furnishings are modern and considered, balancing comfort with the architectural clarity the space demands.
Building amenities extend the experience well beyond the penthouse itself. A rooftop pool offers sun and skyline from an open-air deck, while a fitness center and additional shared spaces are available to guests. The combination of private residence and full-building infrastructure creates a stay that feels both intimate and expansive, a home base with the privileges of a well-appointed tower.
Midtown Atlanta pulses just below. The neighborhood is one of the city's most walkable, with the High Museum of Art, Piedmont Park, and the restaurants along Peachtree Street all within easy reach. The Beltline trail threads nearby, connecting green space, street art, and some of Atlanta's most compelling dining neighborhoods. From this height, the energy of the city feels close but never intrusive. You return to the penthouse at the end of the day, the door closes, and the skyline stretches out in silence. The fireplace flickers. The city carries on far below, and up here, the world feels both vast and entirely your own.

There's something about being on the 51st floor that shifts your relationship with a city—Chicago stops being something you move through and becomes something you look across, quietly, with a drink in your hand and nowhere particular to be. This two-story penthouse earns its drama honestly: soaring ceilings, a fireplace that anchors the room, and floor-to-ceiling glass that gives Lake Michigan and the skyline equal billing. It doesn't feel like a hotel so much as a private residence that happens to float above everything. The open layout lets conversations drift naturally from kitchen to living space, and the private terraces remind you that fresh air at this altitude feels different—sharper, more yours. It suits the kind of traveler who wants the city close but not loud, and who understands that the best evenings sometimes happen at home.

A group of 5 had a great weekend in the penthouse. The views are obviously a highlight and you can't beat the location in River North. Plenty of space for us all to sleep comfortably and enjoy time by the fireplace. Host's provided lots of details and guidance before check-in that will answer any questions you may have.

This was a great place for our family to hang out at for the weekend. It was preferred over multiple hotel rooms. The amenities were great and the view spectacular. Thank you, hosts!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Penthouse. The location couldn't have been better. An added bonus was the Amenity Floor with outdoor seating, pool and gym. Be warned of Chicago city taxes which added 27% to the rental. That, plus the 15% service fee, can add a hefty amount to the base price. Still worth it for the location!

This was a lovely spacious apartment in a great location - an easy walk to magnificent mile, the lake, and all the attractions. We did find it very hot (October) but owners sent us advice to prop door open to get a breeze, and as some others commented sometimes the wait for a lift felt forever. Delivery of take out was a disaster but lots of good stuff an easy walk away so we just collected ourselves. 9th floor gym was well equipped. Highly recommend the architectural tour!
