�As we celebrate the successful opening and operation of the hotel, the Atrium Court is as we initially planed. The hotel is a stylish first-class property which delivers a unique experience through personalized service, four-star food and accommodations,� said Mr. Hanley.
Since the Atrium Court (formerly the Quality Suites Shady Grove) opened its doors in July of this year, discriminating travelers who appreciate high-end comforts coupled with attractive rates have been delighted with the hotel�s accommodations, meeting space, retreat-like atmosphere and the excellence of its dining. 

Those who attend the Atrium Court�s Grand Opening celebration on Thursday will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the hotel�s mission, that �It�s all About You.�

�We trust that those who attend the event will be comfortable as they are in their own, or their friend�s homes,� says Mr. Curtis.  �Our staff is trained not only to be responsive, but to also anticipate the needs of each and every guest we serve.�

The Atrium Court Hotel�s premier location, combined with its highly attractive rate for an upscale property has drawn significant attention from meeting planners, business and leisure travelers. 

Attendees of the celebration will discover that the unique property is defined by stylish spacious rooms which surround a beautiful garden domed with a soaring skylight atrium.
