Omni Hotel at The Battery to Open New Restaurant In Smyrna

SMYRNA, GA -- The Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta is opening chef and author Hugh Acheson's eighth restaurant – Achie’s – within the luxury hotel, Patch has learned. A stone's throw from the Braves' new stadium, Achie’s will serve Southern-inspired fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Achie’s will be Acheson’s third concept at The Battery Atlanta. His first two establishments, First & Third Hot Dog and Sausage Shack, are homeruns with the fans. He is also consulting on the opening of Punch Bowl Social, which will be ready later this year. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.

“Achie’s will offer two things very dear to my heart – delicious coffee and spectacular views of some fine baseball, so fans will feel like they are right in the action,” said Acheson. “I am thrilled to be at The Battery Atlanta with Achie’s, which will serve as a great place for guests and locals to visit from early morning to late night to enjoy exceptional service, and fresh, seasonal food.”

“Chef Acheson is one of the best in the business and we know his storied career, inventive mix of culinary style and fresh approach to Southern food will produce an unforgettable dining experience at Achie’s,” said Ramon Reyes, general manager of the Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta. “Together, we worked to purposefully develop a restaurant that we know our guests will enjoy – a fine dining culinary feast that still feels decidedly down-home, served with the sophistication and southern hospitality both Hugh and Omni are known for.”

The Omni Hotel is set to open in early 2018, giving visitors a home before and after Braves games as well as anchoring metro Atlanta's newest entertainment destination. The property will feature 264 guest rooms across 16 floors.
