OT: Atlanta hotel question

[stateu1]

Heading to the Fox next week for WSP. Where to get a hotel room? Thanks.

Starling - Hilton in Midtown is really nice with a cool pool.
Doubletree downtown, Hilton Garden Inn downtown by the Aquarium or The Moxy - Marriott in Midtown is also good.

Folks who attend Wide Spread shows sleep indoors?

Wait, is it the World Series of Poker?

If you want to stay downtown, I'd go to Reverb. Very cool new hotel right across from Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Are you going to have a car or getting around via MARTA/Uber?

If you’re going to be downtown might as well eat at The Vortex!

Will have a car, but just assumed MARTA/Uber would be easiest.

The Georgian Terrace is directly across the street from the Fox Theatre and is remarkable.

Anywhere but the Ellis.

You are still going to do a lot of drugs though, right?

I would avoid Marta and Marta stations after rush hour.

I regularly use MARTA for events, and it is great for that. There will be tons of people coming and going from the Fox considering it's right across the street from a station. That means OP can stay in Downtown, Midtown, or Buckhead without much trouble getting anywhere.

I was a daily user in the pre-covid times, and it's mostly fine the vast majority of the time.

I stay in Buckhead when we go there for something. Not a big fan of big cities, and it's not too bad of a drive.

I always stay in Buckhead, but haven’t been since the Pandemic. There’s a Waldrof there now across from Lenox and I think the Embassy has recently been renovated. I got my Debit Card skimmed at the Hilton Garden Inn though. So, I’d avoid that.

Look for VRBO out Ponce De Leon. It’s easy to get to the Fox, Ponce City Market, Decatur, etc. I can’t remember the last time I spent an evening in downtown Atlanta. There are better neighborhoods, IMO.

I used to stay in Buckhead a lot and loved it - - not anymore, at least in the last couple of years.
Too many shootings and robberies of late.
I’d rather stay downtown than Buckhead these days.
Dunwoody is still ok, I think, although that may be the next area to go downhill if it hasn’t already started? Perimeter Mall or any Mall for that matter seems to attract potential problems.
As of late it’s been Alpharetta- lots of good restaurants there and in downtown Roswell.

We stayed in buckhead the for our Atlanta trip in July. We are IHG members so we stayed at the Holiday inn express. It could use an update for sure but it was safe, affordable and close enough to everything. Buckhead felt safe and fairly clean for a city, but we were only there for 5 days. The midtown hotels had tons of reviews about cars getting broken into, so we avoided those.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I’ve only stayed at the Waldrof. No complaints and a good location

 

[mcdawg22]

I stayed at the Atlanta Marquis. It was very nice. I was disappointed that I found out I stayed at the Time Variant Authority and didn’t see Loki or Möbius.

this would be my recommendation as well ... hotels downtown (downtown would be much closer to the Fox than Midtown or Buckhead) that would be worth mentioning are Embassy Suites (has a Ruth's Chris steakhouse in it) ... The Hyatt Regency is pretty nice and if you're just willing to dump a bunch of cash then there's the Ritz-Carlton. A pretty cool one would be The Peachtree Plaza ....The rooms aren't cheap downtown anywhere

and don't travel to far down Ponce De Leon or very far from the Fox itself

Intercontinental in Buckhead is nice. Stay above the 12th floor (I believe) and you get access to lounge, free food and booze!
