Sixteen years in Midtown is no small milestone...and at Loews Atlanta Hotel, the celebration comes with something deliciously exciting. Introducing Ashland, the hotel’s new signature restaurant and the sparkling centerpiece of its newly transformed lobby.

Fresh off a multi-million-dollar redesign, Loews Atlanta is unveiling a refreshed arrival experience with Ashland at the heart of it all. The restaurant brings a bold culinary vision to Midtown, where classic American steakhouse craftsmanship meets the refined precision of Japanese sushi. It’s a pairing that feels both timeless and unexpected — and it’s already turning heads.

A Restaurant Designed to Linger

Step inside the hotel’s reimagined lobby and you’ll find Ashland setting the tone for the entire space. Think warm textures, layered design and a welcoming glow that makes the restaurant feel both sophisticated and effortlessly inviting. A dramatic stone bar anchors the room, the lounge hums with energy and the dining room offers plush seating and warm lighting that encourages you to settle in for a while. Whether it’s a power lunch, date night, celebratory dinner or a spontaneous cocktail at the bar, Ashland was designed as Midtown’s newest place to gather.

As Loews Atlanta Hotel Managing Director Reggie Dominique puts it, "Ashland represents an exciting evolution for Loews Atlanta — one that celebrates the hotel’s long-standing commitment to creativity, quality and memorable experiences for guests and the community alike."

Where Fire Meets Finesse

At Ashland, the menu celebrates the art of great ingredients prepared beautifully. The steakhouse program is anchored by exceptional meats sourced with care, including Black Opal Wagyu, 1855 Black Angus and Campo Grande Iberico. From elegant center-cut filets to show-stopping tomahawks, each steak is flame-kissed to perfection to highlight its natural richness and flavor.

But the experience doesn’t stop there. Sushi receives the same meticulous attention, with pristine seasonal fish showcased in delicately composed nigiri, sashimi and specialty rolls. The result is a menu that balances bold steakhouse tradition with the minimalist artistry of Japanese technique.
