This Hyatt lives up to its name in that it features traditional villa-like qualities that guests love (think beautiful grounds, peaceful atmosphere, cozy accommodations). The property, located in Dunwoody, Georgia (about 15 miles north of Atlanta), stands out for the vibrant vegetation that surrounds the hotel. Guests say a stroll along one of the hotel's evergreen nature trails is a must and recommend securing a room with views of the expansive wooded area. Along with a lovely landscape, this Hyatt outpost is lauded for its quiet atmosphere. Peace is especially easy to come by in rooms, which feature signature Hyatt Grand beds, 40-inch flat-screen TVs, minifridges, enlarged showers and high-speed internet access. There's also a rooftop pool on-site, as well as a 24-hour fitness center, massage services and three dining options. Those wanting to explore the neighborhood can use the hotel's complimentary shuttle, which transports lodgers within a 3-mile radius.

Location aside, travelers agree that the exemplary service makes the long haul worth it.
