Like many American cities, prosperity and growth only arrived in this area with the advent of the railway. In 1847 the Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad suggested that the area be renamed Atlantica-Pacifica, which was quickly shortened to 'Atlanta'. The city chose not to retain its Old South architectural characteristics and today, the city is punctuated with high-rise buildings, both modern and post modern, the tallest being the Bank of America. Many modern architectural styles are evident in the hotels Atlanta offer and the most notable being the creation of the atrium hotel by Atlanta's own architect John Portman, which began with the Hyatt Regency, Atlanta.
