History
Conceived by visionary Atlanta architect John C. Portman, Jr., Polaris is one of Atlanta's most recognized landmarks. It was Atlanta's first rotating restaurant when it opened in 1967, and quickly became a symbol of the fast-growing city, featured on souvenirs, postcards and murals. Polaris was so popular guests lined up just to ride the elevators and take in the view. In its heyday, Polaris hosted dignitaries, presidents and celebrities, as well as everyday Atlantans celebrating birthdays, wedding proposals, anniversaries and prom nights. Come and see the new Polaris, and make some memories of your own!
