First opening to the public in June 2022, the dual-branded Club
Wyndham Atlanta and Margaritaville Vacation Club by Wyndham –
Atlanta marked the first vacation club resort property in the city.
The 22-story urban oasis located on the edge of Centennial Olympic
Park carves out a chic address for visitors to experience the
vibrant culture, entertainment and dining available within the
thriving and historical tourist district. ARDA honored Wyndham
Destinations with the ACE Project of Excellence award for
the new resort, one of the most prestigious accolades announced at
the annual Timeshare Together Spring Conference.
Club Wyndham Atlanta took home two additional ARDA awards for
best Interior Design: Common Room and Marketing Team.
Club Wyndham Atlanta’s design pays homage to the significant
history of the city, with dramatic modern elements including a
collection of delicate handblown glass pieces artfully suspended
from the lobby ceiling. The resort’s marketing team was recognized
for establishing a timeshare marketing program in Atlanta – the
first of its kind in the city. In a truncated year, the team
conducted 4,087 net tours (190% of budgeted tour flow) and achieved
$12.5 million in revenue (193% of budgeted revenue).

talent, passion and work ethic poured out by the teams and
