Hotel Clermont, Atlanta
More photosExpert reviews
“The six-story, century-old brick building is topped with a sixty-five-foot radio tower bearing the Clermont name—an original relic that came down years ago but was proudly resurrected at the hotel’s splashy grand opening in 2018. Inside the groovy, ’70s-inspired lobby with low-slung velvet couches and leafy house plants.”
“With preserved stairwells and unusable original doors, Atlanta’s hottest boutique hotel has kept a wink and a nod to this historic 1924 Poncey-Highland building, originally the Bonaventure Arms Apartments.”
“There’s no better stay within walking distance of Ponce City Market and the BeltLine, and for cool factor combined with the conveniences of a modern hotel with vintage touches, there may be no better stay in Atlanta. Lush foliage and wicker and rattan seating welcome you in the lobby, as does an ice-cold PBR in honor of legendary stripper Blondie.”

All you need to know
In the not-so-distant past, the Clermont Hotel in Atlanta was renowned for two elements: the iconic sign on its rooftop radio mast, and the infamous Clermont Lounge nestled in its basement.
While these features remain, what lies sandwiched between them — a historic 1920s red-brick structure that has experienced both highs and lows — has undergone an extensive refurbishment.
The result is a reinvented 94-room boutique hotel, featuring a trendy eatery helmed by a lauded local chef and a few sought-after nightlife venues (above and beyond those found in the basement).
The revamp process was exhaustive, transforming a residential hotel into a gleaming modern accommodation — one that nevertheless retains a significant dose of 20s charm.
The aesthetic is inspired by the past but far from antiquated; it’s diverse, blending Art Deco and mid-century modern designs with contemporary art and state-of-the-art technology.
Poncey-Highland, the locale in question, has been on a surge recently, boasting an impressive array of nocturnal activities. However, the Clermont isn’t left behind in this aspect; with Tiny Lou’s, a fusion of French and Southern brasserie, offering dinner and weekend brunches.
The lobby bar provides an assortment of innovative drinks and after-dark snacks. Café Clermont offers Revelator coffee, while the Roof Top is precisely as its name suggests: an elevated bar with panoramic views and a lively mix of residents and visitors.

I would stay again.
The hotel is lovely. Fun to walk around and take in. The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly.
The hotel bar was a bit underwhelming. The atmosphere is great but the service was slow and I've had better drinks.

we had a great stay and would recommend to anyone.
it was unique and the staff were friendly. loved the valet too.
I’d prefer two mirrors in the room. in case two women need to get ready at same time.

Enjoyed the rooftop, Tiny Lou’s and the Clermont lounge. Excellent time!
The room was fabulous! Each bunk bed was comfortable and beautifully made with excellent attention to detail. I went for my 33rd birthday celebration and was welcomed to my room with a bottle of champagne and two glasses which were a very sweet and thoughtful touch! Thank you Clermont Hotel I had a fantastic time!

Very good
Beautiful property. Staff at reception were very helpful and friendly.
The rooms are really nice - great styling and good amenities.
Location is fantastic.
Nice rooftop bar.
Valet Parking staff - some of them had some real attitude when you were pulling up to offload/load bags.
Elevator sometimes stank as though someone had thrown up.
Bar staff could make an effort to be more welcoming and friendly - little uptight ...

A beautiful stay - but the price is a bit much
The interior is gorgeous and most of the amenities were great. The showers were hot and had beautiful design as well.
The elevator got confused frequently because there was only one for rooftop access and one specifically for guests. If you're able, I'd highly suggest walking instead of using the elevator.
Paying $45 a DAY for parking is absurd. The rooms were already pretty pricey (which I understand for the area.. gentrification and whatnot), but $45 a day for parking (and the attendant wasn't really present at night) doesn't even make sense.
Lastly there was no fridge in the room which I didn't realize.. that was a bit inconvenient.

Fun place!
The rooms, vibe, and bars are great.
I have realized that I have to book this hotel through third parties because that is the only way to lock in a rate. $45 is expensive for parking, even in Atlanta.

Very good
The style was cool. The bed was comfy. Water pressure was solid
One of the valet parkers was obnoxious and rude (light skinned black guy with a long beard) so I didn't use valet parking as a result.

They only offered valet parking, which was not mentioned.

A fun, quirky hotel.
The staff could not have been nicer, from the valets outside to the front desk staff to the waitstaff and bartenders at the very busy bar. They exuded excitement and a desire to help. The room is lovely.
It is very loud at night, with noise from the front door, the parking lot next door, and the street. The hotel appears to know this -- our room included a white-noise generator and two sets of earplugs -- and it was ultimately tolerable, and quiet by 1am on Saturday, but it's pretty loud until then.

Good hotel, great location
The staff all around were super sweet and accommodating. I didn't catch their names but the guys in security and valet helped out greatly with my pup and I. I appreciate you!!
I was on the 4th floor on the front of the building. Those earplugs were not useful.
Soft lighting in the room. The day light helped ou greatly.

Good location, clean and modern
The staff was courteous, professional and helpful. Room was modern, comfortable and very clean. Dinner at Tiny Lou's restaurant was excellent but pricey. Good location for our purposes. Easy to get to once off the highway.
Parking was very expensive at $45/day. The facility was very noisy from both the street traffic and from the rooftop bar. They played loud thumping sounds (supposed to be music) until 11:30pm. We weren't able to sleep either night. There was no breakfast service provided. While not a fault of the hotel but more for the travelers reading this, Atlanta traffic has to be some of the worst in the country. So plan accordingly.

Fabulous
The hotel is located close to Emory University, but on a fun and lively street. It is charming, well appointed and extremely comfortable.
The hotel is also a night spot with a rooftop bar. At night it can be crowded and loud in the lobby and common areas.

The hotel is quite nice. The lobby and roof top bar are very nice.
The room was nice though I missed having a closet as Im not a fan of exposed hooks. As a woman traveling alone the parking situation is not great. Their lot is very expensive and while there is off-street parking available it did not feel safe to park my car and then walk to the hotel at night.

Nice room, nice dinner, good check in, difficult to sleep and poor checkout experience.
The room was nice and stylish. The lobby was nice. Tiny Lou's was good. The rooftop bar looked to be a great place to hang out. The check in was easy and the people were friendly.
A lady played violin in a nearby room, very poorly, from about 4 am - 6 am. The check out with the parking manager was less than satisfactory and left a bad taste in our mouths. My experience with the front desk to assist with confusion regarding parking charges was poor. The gentleman was dismissive and rude. Several inebriated people stood in front of the hotel talking loudly for a couple of hours from 1 am 3 am.

9.5/10 stay. Had a great time, amazing location, super aesthetic, almost worth the price.
Location, staff, rooftop bar, cute room, felt clean. Ill be back for sure.
Parking was not ideal and upon check-in I received no information on parking help. Ended up street parking. Almost very time I entered the hotel I was stopped by staff and almost felt like I wasn't supposed to be there but when I told them I was a guest they were very helpful and welcoming. Also price felt a little high.

I loved the rooftop bar! The staff was exceptional. It was such a comfortable stay, and I didn't even get to explore the entire hotel.
I will stay again!
Nothing, it was perfect !

Fun stay in a trendy vibes, casually glamorous, friendly boutique hotel.
Unique hotel, with a casual glamorous vibe. Very friendly staff.
The neighborhood is a mix of eclectic, trendy and urban decay. Tourists should be aware that this is not a crime free area. Just beware of your surroundings. I had a 13 yr old child with me and was fine but I also did not walk around late night
