Spice & Sky to Open at Chamblee Holiday Inn & Suites This Summer
Atlanta Hospitality Investment LLC has hired acclaimed Atlanta chef and restaurateur Archna Becker to develop Spice & Sky on the top floor of the company’s new custom Holiday Inn & Suites. The property is located at 4401 Chamblee Dunwoody Road in Chamblee and is scheduled to open at the end of June. This hotel is a franchise of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG). Becker, known for North Indian food at Bhojanic, the restaurant she founded, is creating a modern, eclectic menu of flavors from all over the world. The global restaurant and rooftop bar—the first rooftop venue in the area—will serve happy hour, dinner and brunch, offering an elevated destination for residents and travelers alike.
“We will be using global flavors and spices to attract guests wanting more excitement for their palates,” says Becker, who was hired as the hotel’s food and beverage management consultant and also recently introduced a retail market and new ghost kitchen concept, Tandoori Pizza and Wing Co. “The ingredients will be familiar and approachable with flavor profiles ranging from Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian and more.
The beverage menu will follow suit, offering signature craft cocktails that feature herbal-infused spirits as well as local beers on tap and an extensive wine list with selections from around the world. Guests can relax with a refreshing frosé on warm summer days on the rooftop.
“The dining experience at Spice & Sky offers a variety of flavorful dishes from comforting to adventurous,” adds Becker. “Guests will enjoy made-from-scratch dishes like jerk chicken, bibimbap with Korean beef and an Indian meat and two plate. We will feature traditional fare such as burgers, fries, and chicken wings as well. I have also included some of my most beloved dishes from over the years.”
Spice & Sky’s menu is a blend of the expected and unexpected and will accommodate dietary restrictions including gluten-free and plant-based. The menu also will be available for room and poolside dining.
Designed by Dan Lemberg Architect and Cinda Walker of Design Associates, Inc., Spice & Sky’s spacious interior features modern décor with a grey and red color scheme, wood accents, minimalist furnishings and seating for 175 guests. The restaurant opens out to the rooftop bar, which seats an additional 120 people and offers stunning views of the surrounding neighborhood and city skyline. Rooftop guests also can expect live music by a jazz trio, community events and other curated experiences. Downstairs, a banquet facility is available for private events of 200 guests. Catering menus can be curated for social and corporate events. The menus reflect the same cuisine served at the restaurant, offering a variety of flavorful options to fit every event need.
The completely custom Chamblee Holiday Inn & Suites is located near the Chamblee-Dunwoody exit on I-285, offering an affordable, welcoming and elevated hotel experience for travelers plus a unique gathering place for locals. This location also boasts convenient access to new retail and office spaces, three top medical centers and desirable Atlanta-area neighborhoods such as Brookhaven and Dunwoody. The new five-story hotel features 143 rooms, an indoor pool and underground parking for up to 182 cars.
