“Atlanta’s second Hotel Indigo has a superb location near Centennial Park, and a building to match the convenience: a muscular modern structure designed by Atlanta native John Portman.”
“A hot hotel, with full amenities including a check-in kiosk (you don’t have to talk to a person!) is Twelve Atlantic Station, in a bustling new development in Midtown.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Atlanta.
“Travelers looking to spend less can try the Hotel Indigo, a budget boutique hotel across from the ornate Fox Theater. Rooms are small (it was once a Days Inn), but nicely furnished.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Atlanta.
“The Glenn Hotel is in a renovated 1920s building downtown that has gossamer curtains. The rooftop bar and restaurant have a gimmick, apparently attractive to the rich and famous, where you can eat on a bed, but beware the snobby doormen and minimum spending requirements.”
