No more putting on the Ritz in Buckhead

A well-known Atlanta hotel is marking the end of an era.

Friday, the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead will be no longer a Ritz.

The iconic blue sign will come off the building at the corner of Lenox Parkway and Peachtree Road on Dec. 1.

The hotel has hosted a who’s who list for more than 30 years.

Stars like Frank Sinatra, Lauren Bacall and Bette Middler have stayed in the hotel.

The hotel has been sold and will be called The Whitney, a luxury collection hotel.

Ritz-Carlton will still have the downtown location.
