Aside from the Omni hotel, which occupies part of the building, the only publicly accessible level is/was the atrium level.
The atrium level had three sit-down restaurants at its peak. Two have since closed. One is still open.
There also is a food court. It used to have at least half a dozen different options. Most have closed.
Also was an Atlanta souvenir shop and I think a Braves shop…. Plus the CNN Tour booth and CNN/Turner store. And an A&T store in later years.
I vaguely recall some office space as well, but none was ever for lease above the atrium level.
The old dot com newsroom was also on the atrium level… I hear it used to be a movie theater years ago.
The atrium also used to have an ice skating rink many years ago.
And there’s a big athletic center one level down… it had been for employees only.
