ProgPower takes over the Artmore in 2010

[grogg]

That's the thing. When it was still the Granada, the Best Western site would not let me book stating that it was full. But when it became the Artmore, I managed to snag a room. Not exactly sure how that was allowed to happen. We'll see when we get there on Thursday.

Same thing happened to me. We'll see come Friday.....

I have a room at the inn at Peachtrees, 48 hour notice to cancel...hope i remember

 

[LunaTEKKE]

Did you cancel your reservation at the Artmore in favor of the Residence Inn?

Yep, I did for this year. I just hope the Residence doesn't screw up! Hopefully, coming in on Wednesday night will improve my chances of actually getting a room.

FYI - all rooms at The Artmore have fridges.

On Nov. 5, 2009, The Artmore unveiled its new fire and water feature within the Artisan Courtyard. Here are some before and after pix:

That's so cool.. Roasting of marshmallows might be in order for our post-Prog Power parties in the courtyard!

(I'm sure the hotel management might not approve... don't try this at home)

Oh yeah... this is a good idea. Has anyone bother to MapQuest the fastest route to the nearest burn ward?

I have a feeling I know where Rhapsody of Fire will stay at now, whenever they are booked.

Yeah... I can imagine Oscar Dronjak with mouth full of lighter fluid and bottle of Stella in hand on the rim of that thing as we speak....

Something's gonna happen...

Some crazy european is surely gonna climb up on that thing when they're feeling gaseous.

Especially if he's naked. HammerFall can't seem to keep their clothes on.

How do you get the code to book a room if you didn't see the video?

 

[DarkOne]

All they need are Hurricane's at the bar and it'll be Pat O'Brian's on Bourbon Street.

Nice! A fireplace, in Atlanta, in the middle of the summer! We won't have to worry about freezing to death.

Seriously, looks pretty damn cool though.

It was later changed to first come, first serve. There was a HUGE line on Saturday morning (I know, I was there). All the rooms were booked in a very short amount of time. Maybe you can find a cancellation between now and September. Good luck!

The Artmore is alright. Nothing spectacular and in my opinion very overrated and overpriced. I've stayed in other hotels in the vicinity for a fraction of the cost and never had a problem. And yes I did stay there for 3 years straight. I feel they and the Residence Inn price gouge for this event. The first year that happened and they quoted me the inflated price of their rooms I said no thanks. I mean you can still party and mingle in the courtyard. But why let them treat you so disrespectfully? I stay downtown within walking distance of all the restaurants and the tourist spots with a restaurant in the hotel plus a swimming pool for $79 a night. $5 cab ride to boot!
