From the Atlanta World / Places

The CTR

The former CNN Center is being recast as The CTR near Centennial Olympic Park. Its media history remains useful context, but former studio tours are no longer a reason to visit.

The CTR

Why go

Older Atlanta guides describe this Marietta Street building as CNN's world headquarters, a role that shaped the surrounding Downtown visitor district. The building is now The CTR, so its past is best understood from outside while exploring Centennial Olympic Park and nearby venues. Check the current operator for any public-facing spaces before planning an interior stop.

What to look for

  • The building stands on Marietta Street beside the Centennial Olympic Park area.
  • Its former CNN identity explains the name still found in older directions.

Useful to know

  • Use The CTR as the current place name when looking up access or directions.
  • Do not plan around the former CNN studio tours.
