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.

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.”
