The St. Regis' tag line is "The best address in Atlanta," and I have to admit after touring this hotel, they might be right! This is a true five-star hotel complete with everything you need — exceptional service and walking distance to shopping, dining, theater and more. Every space is classic, beautiful and inviting, with contemporary design and a sophisticated vibe. Throughout the hotel you will find original pieces of art from the owner's private collection, which is rotated twice a year. Fun fact: The owner of the hotel owns two of the three "Wall Street" bulls, including the one in NYC. Throughout the hotel, you will find small statues of the bull, particularly in the suites. 

The Candler Hotel is a amazing 4-star hotel tucked away in the heart of Downtown Atlanta opened n 2019. This gorgeous building is emblematic of Atlanta’s efforts to reinvigorate and revitalize the downtown area. Built in 1906, it was owned by Asa Candler – former mayor of Atlanta and Father of Coca-Cola. The native Georgia marble throughout the building, antique mosaic work, original carved wooden accents in the restored elevators, gold gilded mail shoots (that still work) and an overall old world vibe that oozes out of every crevice of The Candler Hotel can only be described as Gatsby. 

The perfect combination of southern charm and vibrant energy, Atlanta is a playful city for the entire family.

In March of 2024, I went to Atlanta for a concert with some friends, and we were looking for a hotel that was more than just a value hotel. We came across The Whitley and it surpassed our expectations! From the minute we parked in the front, we were greeted by valet staff who took care of our luggage. Upon checking in, we received a warm welcome from the concierge staff and we walked into our room to a warm letter from the general manager and a lovely charcuterie plate.
