The Whitley Hotel, Atlanta
More photosExpert reviews
“Converted from one of Atlanta’s most storied luxury hotels (Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead) in 2017, the Whitley is named for Atlanta trailblazer John Whitley, who reportedly killed a massive buck in 1840, nailed its head to a tree, and voila! Buckhead was born. Its 507 rooms start at a sizable 360 sq ft with residential-style mahogany flooring and skyline views.”
“Decorated with 18th- and 19th-century antiques, this elegant hotel is a regular stopover for visiting celebrities. The richly wood-paneled Lobby Lounge is a respite for shoppers from nearby Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. The spacious guest rooms are furnished with traditional reproductions.”

All you need to know
Atlanta is more expansive than you might imagine, encompassing not only the traditional city center but also areas such as Buckhead.
Essentially the northern part of Atlanta, Buckhead is a Southern reflection of Beverly Hills, boasting its own commercial and shopping districts, high-end residential areas, and an abundance of luxurious hotels, including one standout property: the Whitley, A Luxury Collection Hotel.
Much like the most esteemed historic hotels, this establishment gives the impression of having existed for centuries longer than it has. In terms of design, it leans more towards a classic European aesthetic rather than taking inspiration from Gone With The Wind.
Its public spaces are embellished with mahogany fittings and furniture styled after 18th and 19th-century antiques.
The rooms carry a more modern touch, with the opulence of the historical style enhancing the charm and magnificence of the common areas. This style, however, would seem out of place on the higher levels that overlook the heart of Atlanta.
The bedrooms exude sheer luxury, focusing more on comfort than aesthetics, managed by a highly skilled team. You shouldn’t pass up the chance to enjoy afternoon tea in the lobby lounge, especially following an extensive shopping spree — some of the finest stores in the South are mere steps away.

We had a great time at the lovely Whitley Hotel in Buckhead, GA.
Kind staff and beautiful facility.
No public parking. No freezer nor microwave in the room. The shower was missing a screw and make a horrible screeching noise when opening or closing the door.

Would stay again
Room was spacious and nicely decorated and very clean. They allowed me to checkout late due to some extenuating circumstances and I greatly appreciated it.
I reserved a king on a higher floor but got a double on the 3rd. I was so tired when I arrived (flight delay got me in a little before midnight) that I didn't say anything. There was also a very loud wedding party arriving late at night so I didn't want to risk being moved near them. Lol I also paid for breakfast but didn't get any info from reception at check-in so I didn't know how it worked. I had a busy morning and ended up not eating at all. To be fair, reception was very busy with all the late night check-ins for the boisterous wedding crowd but it was still disappointing.

nice stay
indoor pool, restaurant down stairs , hot tub. city view , soft bed. robes in the room. room service
No microwave or refrigerator in the room…which is crazy for the price you should have those two things. $25 a day for parking, room service close at 11pm, and the restaurant and pool and hot tub.
