Hotels in Atlanta

Atlanta offers a wide range of hotels all around the city, from historic College Park near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, to the top-end perimeter area leading to Dunwoody, Alpharetta and other northern suburbs. With luxury hotels, extended stay suites, and relaxed rooms for those seeking simplicity and convenience, hotels in Atlanta offer cozy choices for everyone.

Where to Stay

Great hotels in Atlanta for business travelers are typically found downtown. This puts you just 15 minutes from the airport and conveniently close to the convention and entertainment district. Centennial Olympic Park, Philips Arena, the College Football Hall of Fame and Mercedes-Benz Stadium are downtown as well, which makes the area a prime pick for sports and leisure fans. If you’re looking for a neighborhood with a more sophisticated slant, consider the high-end shopping and fine dining options of the Buckhead neighborhood. Atlanta’s Eastside is known for its eccentric atmosphere, personalities and experiences, including live music, street art, vintage clothing stores, and eclectic bars. The Midtown neighborhood is another hub for Atlanta’s arts and culture, making it a great choice if you’re in town to catch a nationally touring play or to soak up the sounds of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Perhaps the most recently rediscovered areas of Atlanta are the Old Fourth Ward, and West Midtown, which are home to nationally recognized shops, restaurants and lounges. Also be sure to visit the charming Virginia-Highland neighborhood, and don’t miss Ponce City Market, which has become an instant must-see destination for any trip. 

How to Get to Atlanta

The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the easiest choice for flying into the city. Atlanta covers a lot of ground, so many visitors find that it’s easiest to rent a car, particularly for attractions that are located outside the city. However, the MARTA train and bus system service many popular shopping, entertainment, and sports venues, and there is a train station located at the airport that takes you directly into the city, heading north. The Atlanta Streetcar operates downtown, and makes a 2.7-mile loop around Georgia State University and other landmarks, with 10 stops that include the King Historic District, Centennial Olympic Park, Park Place, and Sweet Auburn Curb Market.
