Guests can access an additional 65,000 square feet of meeting space through a seventh story bridge connecting the hotel to 200 Peachtree, in the former Macy's space. The two buildings offer a total of 145,000 square feet of meeting space. "The expansion of our meeting facilities will further enable us to cater to groups of all sizes," says Anthony Lombardi, director of sales and marketing for the Westin Peachtree Plaza.
