A circa-1986 view of Peachtree Center, taken from a glass-enclosed elevator in the Westin Peachtree Plaza. The Marriott Marquis is seen in the upper left. The white building next door is the Atlanta Hilton (1974). The tan towers of Peachtree Center share a unified exterior design aesthetic.
The various structures in Peachtree Center are connected via a system of Skywalks, which permit patrons to traverse the complex above street level, with no interference from vehicular traffic. These days, this invokes the ire of various city planners, who criticize the concept for (quote-unquote) "discouraging pedestrian street life."
