Hotels Atlanta

Like many American cities, prosperity and growth only arrived in this area with the advent of the railway. In 1847, the Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad suggested that the area be renamed Atlantica-Pacifica, which was quickly shortened to 'Atlanta'. Today, the city is punctuated with high-rise buildings, both modern and postmodern, the tallest of which is the Bank of America headquarters. Many modern architectural styles are evident in the hotels Atlanta offers, the most notable being the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, the world's first atrium hotel.

The climate of Atlanta is characterized by hot and humid summers and mild, sometimes cold winters, typical of a humid subtropical climate. Like most of this southeastern area, Atlanta receives abundant rainfall evenly distributed throughout the year. Visitors to this city must take care in the winter months as although blizzards are rare, they do happen and ice storms can cause considerable delays.

The hotels of Atlanta are found throughout the city and suburbs, but many are clustered in the three main districts of the city, Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead. Guests can choose between hip, trendy boutique hotels, inns, B&Bs, or four and five star luxury hotels.

The modern city of Atlanta is diverse, with many museums, theaters, vibrant nightlife, arts and culture, and historic landmarks. Atlanta's hotels provide easy access to many of these, including the Fox Theater, World of Coca-Cola, CNN Center, Georgia Aquarium, Georgia World Congress Center, and the Stone Mountain Park. The Georgia Dome and the city's many professional sports teams will not disappoint sports enthusiasts.

With a huge range of facilities and amenities between hotel and room types, guests at the city's luxury hotels can be assured of air conditioning, comfortable beds with feather duvets and soft pillows, city or street views and 24 hour room service.

Many of the luxury hotels Atlanta offers have superb conference facilities catering for up to 1100 guests with flexible meeting spaces, conference areas, and boardrooms.
