Hotel Indigo Downtown, Atlanta
More photosHotel 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.
Inside, they leaned hard into the city’s rich history. You’ll find cool nods to Atlanta’s identity as a railway hub and its famous music scene, blended with mid-century modern furniture that feels both vintage and fresh.
Even the bar, The 180, plays on this history, offering a sleek spot to unwind right in the heart of the city. It’s a perfect mix of architectural heritage and neighborhood charm.
Expert reviews
“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.”

Wonderful staff, good location, but needs work in the rooms.
The staff was awesome. Very friendly and professional.
The rooms are a bit rundown. Our couch was broken and the trim, plumbing fixtures, entire bathroom really need paint/repairs…looks like it was really nice some time ago. I did not know our view would be a brick wall and part of a parking garbage.

I enjoyed the stay. The staff, particularly the valet, were very welcoming.
Staff was great. I enjoyed the restaurant and I love that there are filtered water dispensers near the ice machines. The room was spacious and I loved the bathroom set up.
Somewhat difficult to get to in rush hour. The water pressure in the bathrooms was intense. I wish the tv had smart/casting capabilities. Also somewhat inconvenient elevator situation.

ITS WORTH THE MONEY! BOOK IT!
THE HOTEL WAS AMAZING! SUPER CLEAN AND THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. I PLAN ON BOOKING THIS ROOM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!
THE DOWNSIDE WAS PARKING. THE PARKING GARAGE EXIT WAS NARROW AND ITS PRETTY EXPENSIVE TO SAY THE LEAST. ITS $25 FOR 8 OR MORE HOURS WHICH WOULDNT BE A PROBLEM IF YOU WERENT IN AND OUT EXPLORING.

Short stay in Atlanta and a little short with the front staff!! Free / included doesn’t mean free /included in A
Location and hotel itself
Front staff when we arrived. Did not mention breakfast included. I had to come back down and she didn’t seem at all interested in assisting. Also booking.com had breakfast included and the front staff woman said you only get vouchers and if you go over then you pay the rest of the breakfast. That is not breakfast included. She stated “that’s the policy “. And didn’t even use the second voucher because they didn’t even have coffee until 7 am. So didn’t have any breakfast the second day but they wanted payment for $24.00 from first day stating I went over my voucher. Again that is not “breakfast included “.

Great staying, the only disappointed item is the price for the valet parking
All good
Valet parking of 55$ per night is too expensive

Our stay wasn't all bad but it wasn't all good either.
The hotel was very nice and the room and bathroom was very clean. The restaurant was awesome!!!
I didn't like that it was so many people allowed to hang out in front of the hotel. This hotel was labeled as a 4 star hotel however it simply didn't feel that way overall. The bed mattress was just not up to par. The mattresses need to be replaced. My back was hurting and my sweetie's back was bothering him, all because of the mattress.

Nice hotel and good location but didn’t feel wow at all
Very nice lobby and valet was helpful. Rooms are decent but our view was of a wall and we had a shower not a bath
The breakfast was very average and iys a shame as that was one of the elements we looked forward to, but it was expensive (the staff were lovely it was just price and what was offered was very average)

Close and accommodating to downtown Atlanta life.
Try beautiful and clean. The receptionist were super kind and helpful.
I wish they had the option for room service. We tried to order through our phones but everything we tried to order it said unavailable.

Good for a night when coming from the airport / heading for the airport
The hotel was clean and the location is great when coming by Marta train. Very comfy bed.
It has a very cold vibe to it. No little fridge in the room. Not a 4 star hotel imo

Beautiful hotel, but downtown is scary and doesn’t feel safe at all. I would not come back.
Very nice facility
Homeless people made me feel unsafe.
Housekeeping never came the day I stayed, but the day of check out they came at 7:30, 9:30 and 10:30 even though check out was noon. Very annoying

Staff was friendly and room was nice.
WiFi was shockingly slow, hardly 1 Mbps download. Nearly 2025 but gear delivering 2005 service. Must do better.

Other Atlanta hotels
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.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Atlanta.
The Ellis Hotel, Atlanta
If you're staying in downtown Atlanta, The Ellis Hotel is a boutique gem with a wild history. It originally opened back in 1913 as the Winecoff Hotel, designed by the famous pre-modern architect William Lee Stoddart. He built it to look like a classic European brick tower, right on Peachtree Street.
Fodors + 1 more“A chic lobby, handpicked modern furnishings, and thoughtful in-room touches are the hallmark of this boutique hotel that provides Southern hospitality in a restored 1913 historic landmark.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Atlanta.
Hotel Clermont, Atlanta
Built in 1924 along Ponce de Leon Avenue, this local icon started as an apartment building before transforming into a hotel that hosted everyone from traveling salesmen to jazz legends. After falling into serious decay, it was saved and reimagined by New York-based design firm Reignwood, reopening as a boutique hotspot that perfectly balances vintage grit with modern glam.
CN Traveler + 3 more“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.”
B&B Stonehurst Place, Atlanta
Tucked away on the largest residential lot in Midtown Atlanta, Stonehurst Place is a stunning 1896 Gilded Age mansion that serves as a luxurious, eco-friendly boutique bed and breakfast. Built by prominent engineer George Hinman, the home remained in the exact same family for over a century, preserving its beautiful, hand-carved millwork and original granite pathways.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Built in 1896 by the Hinman family, this elegant B&B has all the modern amenities one could ask for and is well located. It’s an exceptional choice if you’re not on a budget.”
