More photosTucked away in Midtown, the Four Seasons Atlanta is a total vibe if you love classic luxury mixed with a bit of drama. It actually started out in 1992 as the GLG Grand, named after its eccentric developer, G. Lars Gullstedt. He poured $250 million into building this 50-story neoclassical giant, but sadly went bankrupt just two years later. The Four Seasons swooped in by 1997, turning a real estate flop into a crown jewel.
The design by architecture firm Rabun Hatch is a massive flex. The building’s lower half is made of gorgeous Spanish pink granite, topped by an eye-catching, multi-tiered pyramid peak that lights up the Atlanta skyline at night.
Inside, it’s all about the grand staircase in the lobby, which feels straight out of a movie. A lesser-known quirk? The upper floors aren’t hotel rooms at all—they’re high-end residential condos, meaning you might share an elevator with local CEOs or celebrities.
It is also home to Bar Margot, a moody, retro-cool lounge named after a character in The Royal Tenenbaums. It’s widely considered the birthplace of Atlanta’s modern craft cocktail scene.
Expert reviews
“At 450 sq. ft. for the base room, and prices starting at $259, the Four Seasons offers one of the best deals in town for top-of-the-line, five-star experiences.”

“This Neoclassical tower rises over Atlanta’s Midtown, where world-class culture, flourishing businesses and enticing stores line the streets. Well-suited for both business and leisure travelers, Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta offers its guests fine accommodations and flawless, intuitive service.”
“Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta prides itself on its immensely courteous staff—it’s considered scandalous if a call to reception rings more than twice before it’s answered. Amenities abound as well at this luxury property.”

Other Atlanta hotels
Twelve Midtown Hotel, Atlanta
Twelve Midtown has a pretty fascinating backstory. Built in 2005 by the Novare Group and Jacoby Development, the 26-story mixed-use high-rise sits on land that used to be the historic Atlantic Steel Mill. Its construction was actually part of a massive environmental cleanup that transformed an old industrial eyesore into the thriving, walkable Atlantic Station neighborhood you see today.
New York Times“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.”

Glenn Hotel, Atlanta
The Glenn Hotel in downtown Atlanta is an absolute gem if you love spaces with a past. Built back in 1923 as a 10-story office building, it was beautifully designed by architect Wadley B. Wood and named after a former Atlanta mayor, John Thomas Glenn. Decades later, it got a stylish second lease on life when it was flipped into downtown’s very first boutique hotel in 2006.
New York Times“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.”

Hotel Indigo Downtown, Atlanta
Hotel Indigo Downtown was originally designed by John Portman, a legendary local architect who basically shaped the city's modern skyline. It actually started out as part of the AmericasMart complex back in 1965 before transforming into this boutique hotel. Portman’s signature touch is everywhere, especially when you look up at the dramatic, sweeping staircase that anchors the lobby.
Lonely Planet“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.”
Forth Hotel, Atlanta
FORTH Hotel in Atlanta feels like the perfect mash-up of laid-back luxe and local soul. Nestled in the Old Fourth Ward right by the BeltLine, its 16 stories of glass and geometric concrete make for a seriously striking silhouette. Inside, the design is warm but modern. Think floor-to-ceiling windows, floral wallpaper, rich wood, and vintage touches that make each room feel like it has its own personality.
CN Traveler + 2 more“The 16-floor hotel and social club has two key things going for it: luxury and location. If you prefer to do as little driving or (Ubering) as possible, Forth makes an excellent jumping off point to explore Atlanta’s buzziest neighborhood. It’s uniquely situated next to Historic Fourth Ward Park and the BeltLine, and its stunning design and amenities sets it apart from more casual options nearby.”
