Radius Tower
Other than indicating compass directions when entering the elevator lobby in the
Radius Tower, and that elevator #1 faces west, there will not be any compass
directions provided, as the Radius Tower is basically circular in configuration.
During the one-on- one site tour, we will try to establish landmarks on your floor to
provide some point of orientation.
Access to the Radius Tower is a hallway located south side of the Atrium at the east
end of the hotel registration desk and south of the Twenty-Two Storys bar. As you
enter the hallway there is an approximate 45-degree angle to the left. On the right
wall is the FedEx Office – glass front with glass door. The hallway then turns south.
The hallway is approximately 15 feet wide and has a tile floor similar to the floor of
the Atrium. There is a changing art display on the walls. There are two ‘service’
doors on the right and then and inset (to the right – west) to the Radius Tower Guest
Rooms. As you face the door, to your left (south) on the wall is a room card slot that
activates and automatic (side) sliding door that access the first floor elevator lobby.
Continuing past the entrance to Radius Tower guest rooms on the right, set back is a
door the access the Gym. A guest room card (slot on left side of the door about 48
inches) is required for access (see description of Gym). Across from the entrance to
the gym on the east wall is an ATM machine. At the end of the Radius Tower
hallway is a set of steps that leads to an automatic sliding door that leads to a
skywalk (over John Portman Street) to Peachtree Plaza (food court).
Inside the lobby (going west) there are three (3) elevators. To your left is elevator
#1. As you face elevator #1 the call button is on the right side of the door. This is
the only call button for all three elevators. Elevator #2 is behind you at about the 4
o’clock position and elevator #3 is behind you at about the 8 o’clock position. All
elevators provide an audible indicator for ‘elevator up’ or ‘elevator down’ and
announce each floor. There is no 13th floor.
Radius Elevators Panel
Guest rooms in the Radius Tower are numbered XX60 to XX69. As you exit any of
the elevators the guest rooms are located in ‘set backs’ from the lobby between the
elevators. As you exit (going west) elevator #1 the room number sequence is as
follows. To your right and face the setback to your left is XX60 and then a hallway
to the exit stairs (these are perimeter stairs that follow each wall). Then to the left
of the set back are XX61 and XX62. Elevator #3 is to the left of this inset. If you are
facing elevator #1 to the right, facing the set back are rooms XX63 and XX64 to the
left and XX65 to the right. Between XX64 and XX65 is vending with ice and sodas
($2.00). Rooms XX63, XX64 and XX65 are located between elevators #1 and #2 with
these rooms to the left as facing elevator #2. Between elevators #2 (right side) and
#3 (left side) are rooms XX66 and XX67 to the left of the inset –closest to elevator
#1 and XX68 and XX69 to the right of the inset, closest to elevator.
If you have a room assignment in the Radius, during the one on one site tour, we will
establish some orientation identifiers depending which elevator provides transport.
Guest Rooms
The guest rooms in the Radius Tower are very different that traditional guest rooms
in that they are small and efficient. Access to the room is by use of a room ‘card’ that
is inserted just above the door lever and there will be a brief buzz/whir indicating
the door is unlocked. As the door opens, the bathroom access will be behind the
open door. In the vestibule inside the door, and directly in front of you is the
‘wardrobe’ that has a closet (to the right) and on the left is a coffee maker. In the
lower level of the left side are a safe, (folding) ironing board, and refrigerator. In the
direction of the open door around the wardrobe is the sleeping area. As you enter
the bed (Queen) will be parallel to the common wall that separates the vestibule.
Continuing to the outside wall in the corner will be a chair and ottoman. There is a
standing lamp behind the chair (toggle switch on the base of the light fixture) and a
small table next to the chair. In the opposite corner near the head of the bed is a
small desk that has a phone and four power outlets on the wall just up from the
desk. There is a desk lamp has a toggle switch on the base.
On the outside wall next to the desk is a window that has a double set of curtains.
The inside curtains are sheers and the outside (closest to window) are blackout
(privacy) curtains. Please be aware that the curtains are usually opened when
housekeeping refreshes the room each day and all rooms in the Radius Tower are
exterior rooms that are visible from other buidings.
There is a nightstand on the opposite side of the bed, next to the common wall that
has a radio. On the common wall between the sleeping area and
vestibule/bathroom, near the head of the bed is a frosted (non-transparent) glass
panel to provide ‘natural’ light into the bathroom. Next to the glass panel, moving
toward the foot of the bed on the common wall is the flat screen TV.
Bathroom
The bathroom is small and there is a shower only. As you enter the bathroom, the
sink and toilet are one the wall directly opposite the door. The toilet is next to the
common wall to the sleeping area. There is no tank on the toilet and it has a
horizontal flush mechanism on the back of the toilet. The sink is between the toilet
and the shower. The water spigot has a lever on the top that lifts up to increase
water and moves to the left (hot) and right (cold). Towels (bath) are located on the
lower shelf below the sink and hand towels are on the top behind the sink.
The shower will be next to the sink and has a glass door and about a 2 inch step
over. On the far wall of the shower is a handrail. The water control for the shower
is approximately forty inches above the floor and the lever is in a six o’clock position
and turns counter clockwise.
