During your Atlanta vacation, you’ll be able to enjoy amazing museums and art galleries, gorgeous parks, and stunning restaurants. And when the night falls on Atlanta, get ready to experience a super exciting range of nightlife activities. Atlanta is a great place for a getaway, so here we offer you a complete accommodation guide to decide where to stay in Atlanta, which Atlanta hotels are better for every pocket, and many more details to spend an unforgettable time in town.
Things to know before booking your Atlanta accommodation
Start by setting your budget according to how many days you’d like to stay, sometimes, a rental home can be more convenient if you’re spending more than a week or if you’re traveling with the family. To save time and money, it is always a good idea to book your accommodation in advance. This will guarantee more convenient fees for better room categories, and you won’t risk missing the place of your dreams.
Accommodation prices in Atlanta
Prices can change a lot according to the type of place, length of your stay, and district of choice, but, as a general rule, expect to pay up to $130 per night for budget accommodation, around $220 for mid-range hotels per night, and more than $250 in a luxury suite.
Rental homes tend to be cheaper, between $150 and $200 per night, but they often require that you stay for a longer period, some of them have a minimum two or three-night-stay policy. When staying in Atlanta for just one night, a mid-range hotel can be the best value for money alternative.
Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Atlanta
There are some favorite places where to stay in Atlanta that cater both to tourists and locals alike, these are safe and comfortable places, close to important Atlanta attractions and landmarks that you will want to experience during your visit.
Downtown
Whenever visiting a new town or city, it’s always a good idea to stay in the heart of the city. The main advantage is that everything will be close by, not just attractions, which sometimes might be in the outskirts of the city center, but also important and necessary shops, banks, convenience stores, pharmacies, and more. All practical things that we often don’t consider until we need them.
Staying downtown is also perfect if you want to save on car rental. City centers are often well served by an efficient public transport network, plus man stations and hubs tend to be either in the center of town or very close to it. Keep that in mind if you are traveling on a budget and are looking for ways to cut expenses. Using buses, trains, and even taxis often helps.
The heart of the city center is located in Downtown Atlanta, the area is where you will find unique attractions, such as the Coca Cola Museum, the Georgia Aquarium, the Georgia Capitol Museum, and the Centennial Olympic Park. The district is also home to several museums, as well as the Football Hall of Fame and CNN Studios.
There are tons of coffee shops, restaurants, cafeterias, pubs, and bars to enjoy a meal, no matter whether it is a quick snack, a coffee break, or a three-course meal. The gastronomic offer in Downtown Atlanta is endless.
Since the center of town, and not just in Atlanta, is always a coveted area for travelers, accommodation prices tend to be high, especially if you book last minute. Keep that in mind whenever choosing where to stay.
