ATLANTA — Those in search of a fine dining restaurant once again have the option to enjoy one of Downtown Atlanta's most unique eateries.

The iconic rotating restaurant and lounge, Polaris, perched atop Atlanta's Hyatt Regency hotel has finally reopened for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Polaris closed in March of 2020 after the pandemic broke out across the world, but just shy of three years later, have reopened their doors to the public.

The restaurant provides panoramic views of the city, in addition to serving up select wines, cocktails and southern soul food, according to the restaurant's website.

Polaris is also known for its highly-regarded rooftop bee garden and glass elevators on the way to the top of its globe-like, flying-saucer structure.
