The 100 Best Hotels in Atlanta

A fleet of complimentary bikes parked out front sets the tone at this mid-century modernist-inspired hotel in Midtown, a neighborhood that packs in more museums, music venues, and performing arts than it has any right to. Rooms lean boutique rather than business-casual Hilton, and a modern Southern restaurant and bar keeps things from feeling like a conference layover. The Michelin Guide includes it among its selected hotels.

A Hard Rock offshoot that actually leans into the music rather than just hanging a guitar on the wall, this boutique-leaning hotel sits in the Downtown entertainment district, a short walk from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The lobby shifts from café to bar as the day moves, the rooftop lounge handles sunsets, and a dedicated performance space runs live acts several nights a week. CeeLo Green and Big Boi contributed to the city guides, which is a flex most hotels can't pull off.

Rooms decorated like a maximalist's mood board sit at the center of Midtown Atlanta's arts district, which is either a coincidence or very good planning. The Starling is a boutique hotel with graphic prints and bold color accents throughout, toned-down rooms included. A rooftop pool, spa, and a sprawling indoor-outdoor bar with a wraparound counter round things out for guests who'd rather not leave the building.

A sleek, AAA Three Diamond hotel a short walk from downtown Atlanta's convention halls and concert venues, which either thrills you or doesn't depending on why you're here. The compact rooms keep things minimal, platform beds, clutter-free desks loaded with charging points, and nearly all bathrooms are shower-only. The lobby bar runs tapas and craft cocktails, and there's a seasonal outdoor pool with terrace seating when the weather cooperates.

The 47-story atrium is so vertiginously tall that John Portman's neo-futuristic design has moonlighted as a movie set for decades. This downtown convention hotel connects to Peachtree Center by skybridge and runs multiple restaurants, from a coffee shop to a steakhouse. Rooms are clean and functional, with low platform beds and a proper desk. The glass elevators alone will make you feel like you're in a film, which, statistically, you sort of are.

The Fox Theatre is literally across the street, which makes this Marriott Courtyard a practical choice for anyone coming to Atlanta for a show or using Peachtree Street as a home base. It's a mid-range hotel with 158 rooms, soft lighting, plush beds, and a lobby big enough to spread out in. The attached restaurant leans into Southern comfort food, chicken and waffles among them.

The bones go back to 1913, but a thorough renovation means the lobby reads contemporary rather than musty. This downtown Atlanta hotel keeps rooms compact and practical, with a proper desk and a modern bath, and some king rooms add a sofa if you need the breathing room. The lobby coffee counter pulls double duty as a morning café and evening bar. Peachtree Center MARTA is a short walk south, and dozens of restaurants surround it.

Lion-head door knockers greet you at every guest room in this boutique hotel, which leans hard into its self-appointed "pride of Atlanta" identity, right down to stone lions carved into the facade. Rooms are compact but dressed in layered patterns that feel intentional rather than cramped, and the rooftop lounge has city views through windows that open when Atlanta cooperates and close when it doesn't, which is often.

A converted vintage office building in the middle of downtown Atlanta, this Hampton Inn puts every major sports venue and attraction within walking distance, which matters more than you'd think on a game night. Rooms are compact and stylish, with an oversize TV and a proper desk, though "seating" often means the desk chair. Suites add a living room with a pull-out sofa. Hot breakfast is included daily.

Three wings of rooms orbit a central elevator bank in this retro-futuristic high-rise hotel downtown, which at 28 stories and 1,249 rooms is less a hotel than a small municipality. Skybridges connect it to neighboring hotels and the conference center, so conventioneers can spend three days entirely indoors if the Atlanta summer has anything to say about it. Fourth-floor rooms open onto a terrace with a jogging track and pickleball courts.

Across the street from Georgia Tech, this 12-story Hilton Garden Inn sits in Midtown with MARTA access and a handful of good restaurants within walking distance, which takes real pressure off the planning. Rooms run colorful and tidy, some with proper living areas if a standard footprint feels tight. The outdoor pool deck has grilling stations and a fire pit, which is a nicer amenity mix than the category usually delivers.

The atrium here was John Portman's original experiment in the form: a cavernous open void with a skylight ceiling and glass elevators gliding up the walls, and it still stops people mid-stride. This conference-scale hotel spreads across three towers, from standard king rooms to the Radius, a glass cylinder with compact quarters and mosaic-tile showers that feel like a set from a 1970s sci-fi film. Polaris, the revolving rooftop restaurant under a blue dome, completes the retro-futurist mood.

The painted coffered ceiling in the lobby is original to the 1929 office building, and it sets expectations the rest of this extended-stay Marriott hotel doesn't quite match, in the best possible way to stay calibrated. Most suites come with a full kitchen setup for actual cooking. Complimentary hot breakfast runs daily, the Peachtree Center MARTA stop is right outside, and the fitness center looks straight down onto the street below.

The breeze-block bones of the original 1962 structure are still visible near the pool, a quiet reminder that this downtown Atlanta hotel was the city's first integrated hotel, which is a genuinely significant thing to just be staying next to. The midcentury modern furnishings and retro mini-fridges lean into that history rather than papering over it. Every major sports venue downtown is walkable, which either thrills you or doesn't.

A 1929 brick building on Ponce de Leon, now a boutique hotel where a sleek modern addition tucks in beside the original without much fuss. The basement once housed a storied gathering place in Atlanta's LGBTQ+ history, and the hotel wears that legacy with genuine intention. Rooms are compact and well considered, with plump bedding and luggage stashed in cubbies under the bed. The second-floor terrace and lobby sunroom give you somewhere to land after a day in Midtown.

A conference hotel on the Emory University campus that somehow has a private bowling alley for events, which is either the best or strangest detail depending on your meeting planner. Rooms overlook a genuine forest canopy, and the CDC is a short drive away, so the clientele skews toward people with lanyards. It's polished and quiet, with smart TVs and wireless charging, and Candler Park is a short walk when you need to remember where you are.

A mid-rise hotel off I-75 where mature trees and a courtyard pool do a lot of the heavy lifting on first impressions. Inside, older bones meet contemporary updates without too much friction. Tower rooms get the better views; garden wing rooms get more quiet. The meeting spaces lean large, and there's a fitness center with a cycling studio for guests who feel guilty about the airport bar. Solid Cobb County business travel territory.

Resistance bands and a yoga mat come standard in every room, which tells you exactly who this hotel is for. The EVEN is a fitness-focused mid-range hotel near Cobb Galleria, and it leans into the concept hard, with an expansive gym, hydration stations on every floor, and walk-in showers built for people who actually used them. The on-site cafe handles light meals and cocktails. EV chargers are in the garage, if the car also has a wellness routine.

A courtyard waterfall and hot tub in the middle of a Vinings office corridor feels mildly surreal, but here we are. This AAA Three Diamond hotel plays the country-meets-contemporary card with wood tones, walk-in showers, and balconied rooms that overlook the pool. The Public House handles breakfast and dinner on-site, so you're not scrambling for eggs. Quieter and leafier than Buckhead proper, with EV chargers if you need them.

Extended-stay hotel near Cumberland Mall and the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, with room options that run from standard guestrooms up to two-bedroom suites with full kitchens. The outdoor patio with a gas fireplace and BBQ grills gives the place a slightly more residential feel than the average airport-adjacent chain. Quiet location, EV chargers in the lot, and a AAA Three Diamond rating for guests who like a baseline guarantee.

Extended-stay hotel in Perimeter Center where the suites come with a two-burner cooktop, dishwasher, and enough counter space to actually cook dinner, which you probably won't because complimentary hot breakfast arrives every morning and the lobby bar handles evenings. The fourth-floor rooftop pool runs heated year-round, a small mercy for Atlanta's three weeks of actual winter. A AAA Three Diamond property, sensible and comfortable without asking you to think too hard about it.

A skybridge from the fifth floor drops you directly onto the Dunwoody MARTA platform, which makes this nine-story hotel far more useful than its spot between two parking garages suggests. Rooms run to oversized TVs and pull-out sofas, and the complimentary hot breakfast each morning is a genuine buffer against Atlanta hotel prices. Shower-only bathrooms are the default, so call ahead if a tub matters to you.

All-suite hotel off the Cumberland Parkway, close enough to Truist Park that you can hear the crowd on a good night. Rooms run properly large, with a separate bedroom and living area, which matters when you've spent a full day in Atlanta traffic. Complimentary breakfast and a coffee kiosk by the front desk handle mornings, and Hank's Kitchen and Bar takes care of evenings with Southern comfort food in the attached restaurant.

A mid-rise hotel off the interstate near Galleria, built with enough meeting space to suggest it once hosted every regional sales conference in the Southeast. Marble floors and decorative archways give the lobby more presence than the exit ramp suggests, and guest rooms come with 50-inch TVs and illuminated bathroom mirrors. The indoor-outdoor pool area has a proper patio if you need to decompress after a day of slide decks.

The round glass tower still dominates the Atlanta skyline, and rooms start on the 15th floor, so the city views aren't incidental. This is a large downtown convention hotel with a AAA Four Diamond rating, an 11th-floor pool under a retractable glass roof, and a fine-dining restaurant at the top. Conference crowds keep the lobby in motion, but sports venues and a serious stretch of restaurants are all a short walk out the door.
