If the pre-stay welcoming email from the first of my Atlanta hotels wasn’t irritating enough, the conference hotel itself went one step further. Its communique observed:
We are delighted to announce that the Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar, & View is renewing your fine dining experience with a highly anticipated renovation. The restaurant will be closed April 29 to August 2013, but pleased be inspired to join us for brunch, lunch, and dinner at The Café and The Lobby Bar, located on level 5.
Perhaps the most notable feature of our hotel is its 73rd floor restaurant, with 360 degree views over Atlanta. Unfortunately, you won’t get to enjoy it as it’ll be closed when you’re here.
Our Sun Dial restaurant will be closed for renovation during your stay, but you will still be able to join us…
We’re sorry that our Sun Dial restaurant will be closed during your stay, but…
The Sun Dial restaurant really is dire. It’s shut. You should be thankful.
