Atlanta is the convention city of the South, with hotels to fit every budget and taste - be it a modern establishment with all the amenities or a simple, spartan motel. Room rates vary widely, depending upon how many conventions are taking place within the city. In mid-April, rooms within the city centre are at a premium.

$$$$ (over US$300)
$$$ (US$200 to US$299)
$$ (US$100 to US$199)

Prices are for a standard double room and do not include breakfast unless specified. Tax of 15% is extra. Check hotel websites for online specials.

Business

Hilton Atlanta
A modern monolith in the heart of Downtown, this convention favourite is huge - 1,260 rooms. The airy atrium lobby is always bustling with activity. Spacious guest rooms have cherry furnishings accented with earthy-toned décor. In-room business facilities (including high-speed modem points and a generous-sized desk) add convenience. There are over 5,880 sq m (63,000 sq ft) of meeting and convention space on one level and all facilities are state-of-the-art. Trader Vic's, which transports diners to the South Pacific with its Polynesian décor and Pan-Asian cuisine, and the elegant Nikolai's Roof (see Restaurants) are two of the hotel's five restaurants.

Westin Peachtree Plaza
This 73-storey, glass cylinder (a John Portman design) defines Atlanta's skyline. A five-storey lobby atrium and a thin glass elevator (used in the movie Sharkey's Machine) that inches up the building's exterior are just as sleek. Pie-shaped rooms are outfitted in pastel hues and dark woods as well as minibars, work desk, high speed Internet access and 'Heavenly' beds. The gym and full-service health club offers massage therapy. On the 73rd floor is the multi-levelled, revolving Sun Dial Restaurant, which offers diners steak and seafood accompanied by an amazing, revolving view of the city.

Luxury

Four Seasons Hotel
A grand staircase in the soaring lobby underscores the opulence of this luxurious property that occupies only the first 19 floors of a 53-storey skyscraper. Guest rooms are decorated in soothing sage and cream, with mahogany furniture and original artwork. The bathrooms are a sybaritic delight, with extra-large, soaking tubs and glassed-in showers. There is also a full-service health club. The hotel restaurant, Park 75, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, manages to be charming for daytime meals and elegant in the evening. Menu choices include Angus beef fillet, Maine lobster and a trio of fish - salmon, halibut and turbot.

The 29 Spa and natural beauty products were designed exclusively by Napa winemaker Robert Mondavi Jr's wife, Lydia. A saline pool and TechnoGym outfitted with Ferrari leather put this hotel in a league of its own. The top 45 floors of this Robert Stern-designed hotel are sold as luxury residences beginning at $USD3 million.

Moderate

Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center
Located in Midtown, adjacent to Georgia Tech, this facility is ideal for business travellers. Minimalist in décor, the lobby's only embellishment is a 1934 Ford - the 'ramblin' wreck' from the Georgia Tech fight song. Rooms, accented with earthy tones, are spacious and comfortable with amenities like high-speed Internet, flat-screen TVs, granite bathrooms and robes. The Conference Dining Room's tasty buffet is a bargain, while its sports bar, The Club, is quite comfortable. Leisure travellers should note that the hotel is within walking distance of the Fox Theatre, Centennial Olympic Park, museums, restaurants and other attractions.

Sheraton Midtown Atlanta at Colony Square
Fresh flowers decorate the dimly lit atrium lobby where the sounds of piano music often float through the air. Rooms are large with blonde furnishings, sleigh beds and accents of shades of creams and yellows. Higher floors have a better view of Midtown. Well located, this hotel is just a block from the Woodruff Arts Center and High Museum of Art and across from the 14th Street Playhouse. If the hotel's restaurant offerings (The Lobby Lounge and the 14th Street Bar and Grill) do not turn you on, the adjacent mall has a variety of dining options. The hotel is within walking distance of the MARTA Arts Center Station.

Other Recommendations

The Ellis on Peachtree
Atlanta's trendy new boutique hotel, in one of the city's historic buildings, is walking distance from all the major downtown attractions, and opposite the Ritz-Carlton. Sleek and sophisticated contemporary design, The Ellis also offers the added feature of a women-only floor for the female business traveller seeking secure keyed entry and extra pampering. The on-site restaurant opens on to balcony-seating overlooking Peachtree Street. Many enticing packages are on offer for special occasions.

Grand Hyatt Buckhead
An 11m (35ft) waterfall and an 836-sq-m (9,000-sq-ft) Japanese garden set this modern hotel apart from its competitors in upscale Buckhead. Originally a Nikko hotel, the Oriental influence is still evident in the understated decor of black, grey and purple. High-quality Japanese art adorns the walls of both public and private rooms, while the guest rooms are quite spacious and more American than Japanese in style. The hotel's award-winning restaurant, Cassis, features Mediterranean cuisine. Other amenities include an outdoor pool and health club. Located in trendy (and high-traffic-volume) Buckhead, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle, which takes guests anywhere within a 3km (2-mile) radius, a real plus for dining and shopping.
