The CNN Center is the world headquarters of the Cable News Network (CNN). The main news rooms and sets for the anchors of several of CNN's news channels are located in the building. It is located downtown in Atlanta, Georgia next to Centennial Olympic Park.


The CNN Centre also houses a major hotel (the Omni) and a tourist oriented shopping mall and large food court. CNN's multi-channel output to the world is broadcast on large screens around the center. In addition studio tours are available, which include demonstrations of the technology used and visits to viewing galleries overlooking the newsrooms and anchors of CNN, CNN Headline News and CNN en Espaņol.


The CNN Center is directly connected to the Philips Arena, home to the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA and the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL.
