John Portman, an American architect famous for his neo-futuristic aesthetic and fondness for multi-storied atria, designed the Westin. When it first opened in 1976, the 73-story Westin was recognized as one of Atlantaās first skyscrapers and the tallest hotel in the world. It was the tallest building in the city until the One Atlantic Center was completed in 1987. Currently, the Westin is the fourth largest hotel in Atlanta and the tallest hotel in the Southeastern U.S.
