The Beaux-Arts details remain intact and the building is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cornerstone reads "Candler Investment Co. 1904 Geo. E. Murphy Architect".
The building was featured in the 2017 crime film Baby Driver, where it was the site of the first bank robbery committed in the film.
In 2016, the building's owner, REM Associates, L.P., announced plans to convert it to a luxury boutique hotel. The Candler Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton opened on October 24, 2019. The 265-room hotel retains the building's iconic lobby, with a restaurant named By George in the former Central Bank and Trust location, and 6,000 square feet (560 m2) of meeting space. The hotel was also inducted into Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, that same year.
