The tower was built at a cost of $197.4 million. The hotel portion opened for business on May 1, 2008 as The Mansion on Peachtree - A Rosewood Hotel & Residence, managed by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.[1] The grand opening was held a week later, on May 7.[2] The hotel was sold in foreclosure to iStar Financial on February 3, 2010 for $66.1 million. It was renamed Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta[3] in 2012.[4] The hotel was sold to Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. for $53.5 million on December 10, 2018[5] and renamed Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead.[6]
A 127-room hotel occupies the lower half of the building. Above the hotel are 45 residential units on 26 floors. The Residences also consist of a separate building located in the English Gardens called "The Villas". The Villas consist of three separate private residences that include three floors of living space and private underground garages.[citation needed]
In December 2008, Craft Atlanta, a branch of Tom Colicchio's New York based restaurant, opened in a freestanding building in front of The Mansion. The interiors were designed by Bentel & Bentel Architects of New York. Milton Pate Architects of Atlanta again served as the Architect of Record for the interior build-out. Freese Construction Company of Atlanta served as the general contractor for the build out. The restaurant closed shortly before Valentine's Day 2010. Del Frisco's Grille opened in the space in late 2012.[7] The restaurant is not part of the hotel business.
