The Hotel Highland at Five Points South is an 8-story, 63-room full service hotel and conference center located mostly within the Medical Arts Building at 1023 20th Street South in Five Points South. The hotel includes a martini bar called The H Martini Bar.
The Medical Arts Building was converted into Pickwick Hotel and Conference Center along with an adjacent conference center and retail development called Pickwick Plaza in 1988. Both developments were named for the former Pickwick Club, which had opened nearby the same year as the Medical Arts Building, and headed by cardiac surgeon Donald Kahn.
In November 2006 Atlanta developers Long & Cox Properties Inc. announced plans to purchase the hotel and embark on a estimated $7 million overhaul which would transform the property into a high-end boutique hotel and martini bar. They selected Denver, Colorado-based Richfield Hospitality Services to operate the hotel. Local designer Peggy Dye & Associates was announced as an equity partner and did the hotel's interior design.
The Pickwick Hotel was closed in January 2007. It quietly reopened in early July 2008 as The Hotel Highland. The property was sold to SJP Investment Partners LLC of Atlanta, Georgia for $3.6 million in October 2016.
