The Marriott Marquis is a hotel located in Atlanta, Georgia. The Marriott Marquis served as the site of the 2017 HSNCT.
NAQT had thrice (2011-2013) played the HSNCT in Atlanta, but those three tournaments had been held at the Hyatt Regency, which had some problems as a host site. After returning to Chicago for two years, and to Dallas in 2016, the Marriott Marquis was selected as the host site for the 2017 tournament.
As a site for competition, the Marriott Marquis was a good location, as it served as the filming location for the Capitol's Tribute Center in two of the Hunger Games films. The hotel also appeared in the 2012 Denzel Washington movie Flight, and the 1986 film Manhunter, which was the first film to feature Hannibal Lecter.
The hotel's atrium, was, upon completion in 1985, the tallest on Earth until surpassed by the atrium in the Burj Al Arab.
