Old Fourth Ward boutique property Wylie Hotel will open its doors for the first time on Monday, May 17, a spokesperson told What Now Atlanta in an email this week. In late April, the hotel revealed its opening team.
Mrs. P’s Bar & Kitchen, the hotel’s in-house restaurant, will open “shortly after,” but all hotel guests can enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast from the eatery in the meantime, the spokesperson said.
Wylie Hotel is a redevelopment of the former 551 Ponce de Leon Hotel by partners Kim King Associates and Mainsail Lodging & Development.
It offers 111 rooms and bills itself as a “technology-forward” property.
“Today, as Wylie Hotel, the past gleams through our front-facing brick facade,” according to the hotel’s website. “We’ve pulled through the best of what 551 Ponce was, offering unconventional, uncompromisingly comfortable accommodations for your next jaunt to Atlanta.”
Local architect Stevens & Wilkinson and Atlanta-based interior design firm Pixel Design Co. led the renovations.

Mrs. P’s was before my time, but spent quite a bit of time there when it was 551. Always fun times to be had there! Nice to see some acknowledgment of the LGBT contributions to Atlanta.
I think MJQ was the only bar that I went to in that space.
I walked into the Phoenix (also in that area) once and walked right back out– that place gave me the creeps.
LOL! I had a few good times at the Phoenix as well. Oddly enough, I never went to MJQ at that location.
