The ever-expanding hub of the southeastern United States,
Atlanta has grown from an historic southern city into a huge
modern metropolis comprised of prestigious boroughs, corporate
and theater districts, modern attractions and more. Few
American cities can match the unique blend of past and present
that is Atlanta. Nowhere else is this more evident than in the
city's diverse array of lodging facilities. From old southern
inns to modern resort-style hotels, this city can accommodate
any budget or taste.
SIGHTSEEING
The majority of Atlanta's attractions are located within the
midtown/downtown area, delineated by I-285, which rings the
city. A stay in this area will place you within close
proximity to major attractions such as Underground Atlanta,
World of Coca-Cola, Turner Field, Georgia Dome, Centennial
Olympic Park and more, as well as some of Atlanta's finest
shopping, dining and entertainment establishments.
Luxury hotels such as the Atlanta
Hilton Hotel and the Hyatt
Regency Atlanta offer the ultimate in elegant
accommodations, matched with the convenience of a central
downtown location. For a little more diversity, a stay at the Swissotel
Atlanta Buckhead or Summerfield
Suites Buckhead, offers luxurious accommodations in
the heart of Atlanta's prestigious Buckhead neighborhood, home
to renowned shopping, dining and cultural venues, with easy
access to the downtown/midtown areas.
For
budget-conscious travelers, the Best
Western Granada Suites is a comfortable, moderately
priced hotel located in the heart of downtown Atlanta,
conveniently adjacent to a Marta Transportation Stop. The Georgian
Terrace Hotel is another relatively inexpensive hotel
that places guests in the heart of Atlanta's most prominent
attractions. For the ultimate in lodging value, the Quality
Hotel Downtown is a comfortable tourist-class property
within walking distance to major downtown attractions such as
Underground Atlanta, World of Coca-Cola, Centennial Olympic
Park, the Georgia Dome, and many more.
BUSINESS
Most of Atlanta's conventions, exhibitions and big business
take place at the Georgia World Congress Center, located in
the heart of the Financial District downtown. The massive
Center is also located adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park,
the Georgia Dome and the CNN Center, in addition to
world-class dining, shopping
and entertainment. Discriminating business travelers should
have no problem finding first-class accommodations in this
prestigious part of town. For example, the Westin
Peachtree Plaza is a luxury hotel located just five
blocks from the GWCC, offering spacious, finely appointed
guestrooms to go along with its convenient location. The
73-story tower is the tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere
and houses the famous Sun-Dial restaurant on the top floor
which makes one complete revolution every hour. The Sheraton
Atlanta Hotel is also an upscale hotel just eight
blocks from the GWCC. Economy hotels in the Business District
are also available. For example, the Super
8 Hotel & Conference Center is just steps away
from Atlanta's convention facilities, not to mention their
guestrooms are spacious and well-appointed with
state-of-the-art business-class accommodations.
AIRPORT
The
Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is surrounded by a
large variety of lodging options, ranging from upscale
accommodations to economy hotels, all of which are suitable
for both business and leisure travelers. The Hilton
Atlanta Airport is a posh hotel offering elegant
accommodations in close proximity both to the airport and many
downtown attractions. The Amerisuites
Airport North is a moderately priced hotel located
just one mile from the airport. The
Red Roof Inn offers tourist-class accommodations also
