Atlanta Hotels

This 73-storey, glass cylinder skyscraper hotel defines Atlanta's skyline. A five-storey lobby atrium and a thin glass elevator that inches up the building's exterior are just as sleek. Pie-shaped rooms are outfitted in natural hues and dark woods. On the 73rd floor is the multi-levelled, revolving Sun Dial Restaurant and Bar.

A grand staircase in the soaring lobby underscores the opulence of this luxurious property that occupies part of a 50-storey skyscraper. This hotel has all the trappings of luxury: formal but elegantly appointed rooms, a spa with 10 treatment rooms, an indoor saline lap pool, a top-of-the-range fitness centre and a lounge and terrace overlooking the lobby's dramatic atrium.

A part of Atlanta’s history, the hotel’s Grand Ballroom hostedGone With The Wind’s movie premiere gala in 1939. Now, a tall glass atrium rises above the lobby where author Margaret Mitchell, in 1935, hesitantly handed over her original manuscript to her future editor. The hotel’s terrace is a good spot for a cocktail overlooking the historic Fox Theatre.

The Glenn’s selling points are its proximity to downtown Atlanta’s main attractions and Luckie Marietta District and the panoramic view from its SkyLounge rooftop bar. This stylish boutique hotel downtown has sleek, modern rooms and suites. The Glenn Kitchen restaurant serves local Southern favourites.

In a landmark building on Peachtree Street, this chic boutique hotel has elegant rooms and is a short walk from top attractions such as the CNN Studio Tours. Unique features include a private-access women’s only floor, whose rooms come with luxury Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Enjoy organic farm-to-table dining at the Terrace Bistro.

Housed in a postmodern office building remodelled by architect John Portman, Hotel Indigo Downtown welcomes you with an airy lobby and striking glass-and-steel double staircase. Rooms are smart and sleek, and the hotel is within easy walking distance of major sights such as the Georgia Aquarium and Centennial Olympic Park.

For travellers on a budget, The Highland Inn is hard to beat. Within walking distance of Little Five Points and Virginia Highland and a short drive from Piedmont Park, it’s located between all of Atlanta’s hottest attractions. The historic building adds character and the hospitable staff are exceptionally helpful.

Though a short drive from the exclusive Buckhead area and Midtown, there’s still plenty to keep guests busy around this hotel. The friendly staff and spacious rooms make for a comfortable stay and the hotel’s proximity to many local bars and restaurants make grabbing a quick bite to eat or a drink effortless.

Located in the northern business district near the I-285, known as ‘The Perimeter’ to Atlantans, the hotel is easily accessible via the city’s main highways. Friendly staff, the large open lobby and breakfast bar area, plus oversized rooms and a sizeable outdoor pool make it a popular low-budget stop.
