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.”

“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.”
