Our Signature Restaurants: Featuring Chef Hugh Acheson
With a celebrity chef bringing his award-winning culinary skills to the table, you will want to pull up a chair and savor every bite, from an intimate meal for two to a get-together for 10 or more. Upscale dining, small bites in the vibrant lobby bar, artisanal cocktails—and breathtaking panoramic views—at the rooftop pool and lounge, and a charming coffee market, so you’re properly fueled for wherever the day takes you.

Chef Hugh Acheson is no stranger to the spotlight. The James Beard award-winning Georgia chef owns several acclaimed restaurants—including Five & Ten, Empire State South, and the National—has been a Top Chef Masters competitor, a Top Chef judge, and is a celebrated cookbook author. He now shines his spotlight on Hotel Effie, creating menus that are creative, inspiring, and delicious, breathing fresh new life into beloved Southern cuisine. Food that nourishes the body and the soul. We hope you’re hungry.
