7 Best Hotels in Atlanta, Georgia

A chic lobby, handpicked modern furnishings, and thoughtful in-room touches are the hallmark of this boutique hotel that provides Southern hospitality in a restored 1913 historic landmark. Each of the rooms has pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen televisions, and Wi-Fi. The MARTA station is across the street, and the city's top attractions are just 10 minutes away.

Georgia's booming film industry brings plenty of celebs to Atlanta, and many of them stay in this sleek glass tower in the heart of bustling Midtown. It's a quick walk to shops, restaurants, and lots of Atlanta's main attractions, including Piedmont Park and the High Museum. The rooms are outfitted in crisp neutrals with large windows that allow in plenty of natural light.

This mostly-suites high-rise is just blocks from the shopping meccas of Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. There are several different kinds of suites—from fairly basic sleeping-and-sitting-room combinations to more deluxe units with amenities like wet bars. All of the rooms open onto a sunny atrium that towers 16 stories above the lobby. Rates include afternoon cocktails.

This boutique hotel is a mix of New York sophistication and Miami sex appeal. The rooms are small, but they make the best of the space. Glass walls between the oversize showers and the sleeping areas mean you won't miss a minute of the program on your flat-screen TV. The contemporary decor is sleek and sophisticated.

Marble bathrooms with separate soaking tubs and glass showers, 300-thread-count Egyptian-cotton linens, plush bathrobes and slippers, and twice-daily housekeeping are some of the highlights of the chic, recently updated rooms in this hotel, the flagship for the Atlanta-based chain. The Americano is the on-site restaurant, led by James Beard Award–winner Scott Conant, and features an Italian steak house concept.

For a luxury experience with useful business amenities, the Ritz can't be beat. The size of the rooms is comparable to other Downtown properties but with business-minded touches such as a valet complete with shoeshine, and a desk with AV connections for in-room presentation prep. Try the on-site AG restaurant, which has a steak house focus, along with Southern-accented specialties like she-crab soup and fried green tomatoes. The eatery's terrace is one of Downtown's few outdoor dining spots. MARTA's Peachtree Center station is nearby.

An excellent location for high-end shopping, the Whitley boasts clientele that’s just as upscale. The smallish lobby invites you to linger, with lighter takes on club seating, paintings of flora and fauna native to Georgia, a gilded deer statue and fireplace all a part of the warm welcome. Approachable luxury in the spacious rooms and celebrity-status suites—one includes a pool table—brought the hotel a more modern look when it transitioned from the Ritz-Carlton in 2019. The stuffiness is gone, and not much remains except the Italian marble in the baths. Bay windows in each room add to the big, at-home feel.
