Fodor's Expert Review Graduate Athens
295 E. Dougherty St., Athens, Georgia, 30601, USA
Centered around a former ironworks facility, this hip boutique hotel offers fresh, modern rooms, a coffee shop, and a restaurant and live music venue—aptly named the Foundry. The atmosphere is historic but modern and playful with university-themed decor and chalkboards in each room. With the inn’s great amenities and villagelike setting, there's little need to leave the property, but if you do, you'll find the Classic Center Theater, the university campus, and historic downtown within easy walking distance.
PROS
- pool and easy access to amenities
- great restaurant and club
- comfy rooms with fun, retro decor
CONS
- live music at the on-site venue can bring a late crowd
- room rates are pricey for university event weekends
- exterior corridor motel-style layout
