This was my 4th time having cocktails at Moonlight. Dori made the biggest impression and was a fantastic server! Super friendly, timing was perfect, and made great recommendations to match our vibe. Will ask for her when I come back!

The hotel itself is seductive and romantic which when paired with the rooftop bar views, small bites, and spirits leads to an exceptional experience! Service was friendly, quick, and knowledgeable and made the time memorable!
Food & drinks: The food was delicious and obviously made with love and care. The drinks were expertly crafted and were mixed in a fun to watch way!

My family stayed here last week when visiting Atlanta. The lamb at Elektra was delicious and the hostess Tierra at Moonlight managed to get us up even though we couldn't get a reservation, so we are very thankful for her. The receptionist Arielle was very professional and accommodating of our requests. The view from our room was amazing at night. Overall, Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, 10/10.

Atlanta needed this, and they delivered.

A new, expensive hotel with unique decor. It’s probably a decent stay if you’re visiting.
As far as the “members only club” goes… I’m not so sure about that. After experiencing the forth club (which is the gym, pool, and members lounge, although the latter wasn’t open) on several occasions prior to its opening, the price of admission is absolutely no my worth it. Initiation fees of ~$3000 plus $300-$500/ month, locked in for 12 months, seems absurd for what you get… which is effectively just entry. Food, drink, fitness class, etc are a la carte, and they are not cheap. Frankly, the food and drink was just average. A $16 Pineapple Margarita at the pool... A $19 sandwich… totally weren’t good enough for the price. The pool is basically a non factor for half the year, so that membership basically just gets you into the gym. Sure, you can count the “member only lounge” but I didn’t see anything special about that… especially if you considered the food and beverage cost associated with each visit. Who’s packing a lunch to save $50 on each visit to the Forth Club?
The pool is also far too small. I’d like to be proven wrong, but even during the “preview” period, it was packed on weekends. With a capacity of 86 people to share between a 100+ room hotel and the adjacent ~300 room apartment building, plus the 2,000-2,500 members they claim to expect, I just don’t see how that’s not going to be a disaster come next summer.
The worst part, and this is a bit intangible, is the pretentiousness of the place. It feels like a proving ground for wannabe socialites and aspiring influencers. I’ve encountered some very nice staff members, and some who aren’t so nice. The service on multiple occasions, especially at the pool, has been atrocious.
I got the gist of this pretentiousness before the hotel even opened. I was fortunate to get a “hard hat” tour led by the President of the development company behind this building. There were a lot of personal anecdotes behind very specific design aspects of the building. Cool, I guess. But what appalled me was the way his team treated - or rather looking through - the dozens of contractors working on the spaces they were touring. I’m not talking finishing touches. There was some legit work going on, and the way the group of suits led a group of well off young professionals (myself included to be fair) with champagne flutes in hand through the building, literally climbing over people’s workstations, under tarps, over ladders, interrupting work, and so on, without even the slightest acknowledgement of their presence was off putting to say the least. You would have thought these people were ghosts. At certain moments I was embarrassed to be a part of that group.
All in all, it’s an expensive building with some arguably nice decor (I find it a bit gaudy and out of place for the area) in a cool area, but the club just doesn’t do it for me.

Just had to come through here for work and the lady behind the front counter was so kind. Will highly consider staying here just from her service alone

I recently stayed at the Forth Hotel with a friend over the weekend and had a phenomenal experience. From the moment we checked in, Ms. Ashley provided exceptional service, offering a warm welcome and thoroughly informing us about the hotel's amenities. The room was impeccably clean and beautifully appointed, contributing to a comfortable stay.
We also enjoyed our time at the pool, and the staff at Elektra Restaurant were attentive and made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Overall, the level of service across the hotel was outstanding. I had a wonderful time and look forward to returning in the future.

Did not enjoy it and cannot recommend it. Here’s why…
I’ve been in Atlanta for over twenty years and frequent beltline adjacent local businesses daily. We were so excited for The Forth (including Moonlight and Elektra) to open. We booked a romantic staycation weekend to scope it out and to be able to recommend the place to our clients, colleagues, and friends who travel in. There is NO WAY I will recommend this hotel at this price point or to anyone who actually wants to use the hotel amenities. It’s a place to park your bag and sleep. There is nothing luxurious about it.
The location is not enough to overcome how poorly operated and managed the hotel is. You’re seeing a ton of 5 star reviews. Those are from soft opening handouts to influencers. REAL, PAYING customers… we are told to get in line behind the apartment residents who share the building’s amenities and random influencers they book in to boost the hotel’s profile.
Want to share the overcrowded pool deck with the apartment complex next door and all of their friends? This is the place for you. Especially if you like sitting on the ground and having nowhere to lie down and relax. And that’s IF you can even get up there before a group of random people in the apartments just takes up entire areas for birthday parties like this is a pavilion at a park.
Want to have all of the bars and amenities booked out or closed due to oversold events and a byzantine process to have your reservation ignored over random people off the street who didn’t pay to stay here? You’re in luck! Because hotel guests get zero booking priority and in fact there is a reservation system for apartment residents that hotel guests can’t even access!
Until we spoke up about issue after issue, not a soul wanted to help us. And once we did, what we heard was confusion and a complete lack of awareness that across disconnected departments, hotel guests are being brushed aside for every amenity bc we don’t live here. Yes, this is part of an apartment complex. But none of the reviews are telling you that. How a 196 room hotel can get it this wrong with this much staff is shocking. We were floored at the continuous runaround and lack of actual help we received.
It was so bad that we ended up just leaving. My partner and I travel throughout the world. We split our time between here and NY. The standards we expect are not that high. We are forgiving people. Our issue with The Forth is that every step of the way we were met with the same excuse: we are not the priority, the residents are. What’s hilarious is that The St. Regis or Four Seasons or The Whitley or The Loews-all ACTUAL residential hotels we have stayed in within Atlanta-would never treat their guests like this in lieu of residents. And those are residents who actually live in the building. Not the apartments next door.
The pool manager Nikki and a couple of front desk folks went out of their way to try to help us once they realized how much we were being jerked around. And honestly I hate writing this review because there were several very nice folks who did what they could. But the issue is that at a luxury hotel, when your manager CANNOT fix things due to bad operations, that isn’t a luxury hotel. It’s pretty decor hiding a budget motel. And that’s how this felt.
The rooms are pretty, the design is fine, and the hotel is clean. There are some very sweet staffers. That is what gets it two stars. But this hotel needs a complete operational overhaul before anyone should spend their money to stay here.

Ashley from customer service is amazing! She helped me so fast and was very sweet over the phone.
Haven’t stayed yet but I called because I was having trouble with adding a night to my future stay. If service over the phone is this good, I’m really looking forward to my trip!

After an amazing dinner at Rathbuns Steak tonight, we decided to have a drink at Moonlight at the new Forth Hotel. Upon arrival the door guy, a gentlemen with glasses, was super rude and aggressive when we approached him about having a drink. "We are on a wait and you can step aside" We ended up going to the fourth floor to have a drink while on a wait for the rooftop, after 30 minutes he called and said our reservation was ready, we asked if we could just go up and he made us come downstairs again and then go up. . . Once we were sat our waitress came and right out the gate said we don't have this drink, and we are doing last call. . . Beautiful space, reminds me of NYC which I travel to once a month, but as a fine dining manager of a local restaurant, please match your service with your surroundings. . . I will never return. . .

Our family had the pleasure of spending a night at the Forth hotel. The overall hotel aesthetic is chic and modern. The room was beautiful and the views of the city from our room were incredible; my 3 year old son was especially mesmerized. We enjoyed eating at Elektra, the in-house restaurant, for an elevated brunch experience. The service throughout was excellent. We left our staycation getaway feeling refreshed.

The hotel had only opened 2 months ago so you can definitely feel that things are still in ramp up mode but overall the experience was perfect! The rooms were beautiful and huge and had an amazing view of the city. The staff was SOOOO nice and helpful and always did everything with a smile. Absolutely loved my stay here!!

I stayed here while stuck in Atlanta due to the delta / crowdstrike fiasco and it was a welcome refuge from the chaos at ATL airport. The room was beautiful and comfortable and the staff was polite and helpful
