Buying the New Yorker 1976 - page 43


The Westin Peachtree Plaza is now the 11th tallest hotel in the world. (The tallest is the Rose Rotana Suites/Rose Tower in Dubai)

It was the tallest in 1976, the year it was built. In 1977 it was surpassed by the Detroit Marriott, which was one meter taller.

It must have been nice while it lasted.
