SunTrust Park is home to 38 private suites that embody a best-in-class MLB fan experience for Atlanta Braves fans, but the Champions Suites are unlike any other. The Populous team reimagined a typical suite layout by moving hospitality towards the field and creating a luxe lounge grouping at the back for social interaction. Butterfly matched, antique marble slabs compose the centralized island, creating order and grounding each space. Thoughtfully placed indirect lighting solutions are also integrated throughout to accentuate the layering of texture and color. The attention to detail throughout the millwork design allows for seamless integration of the appliances and amenities.
Located directly behind home plate, the Champions Suites are an elite premium hospitality offering. Within walking distance of Monument Garden, they feature air-conditioned lounge space and state-of-the-art amenities. The culture and history of the Braves organization are deeply evident in the suites’ design, represented in even the smallest of details, such as the locally curated original artwork. Hand cleft, antique heart pine beams produced by a local craftsman add a layer of southern sophistication rooted in regional culture.
In the Champions Suites at SunTrust Park, Braves fans come together and enjoy the ballgame in a rich, premium space that feels authentic to the Braves brand. Since opening a year ago, the ballpark has been embraced by the city of Atlanta as a new classic, resulting in increased revenue, year-round engagement, and a strong sense of community pride.
