Best Hotels near Georgia Institute of Technology

This celebrated landmark towers over Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, offering guests a luxurious home base without sacrificing location. And while The Ellis Hotel is dedicated to providing top-notch services for all its guests, ladies are really in for something extraordinary: There's an entire floor devoted to women, complete with a secured entrance and special amenities like L'Occitane goodie baskets and curling and straightening irons. The property also boasts a Wellness Room, which sits on the 16th floor and features an air purifier, hypoallergenic bedding and lighting designed to mimic natural sunlight, among other perks. All guest rooms, including the specialty options, come equipped with complimentary wireless internet access, flat-screen TVs and Kohler rain showers. Although many recent visitors enjoyed their stays here, several bemoaned the accommodations' lack of space and thin walls. However, the Terrace Bistro's fresh farm-to-table cuisine received rave reviews from past patrons.

Housed within a skyscraper designed by Atlanta architect John Portman, the Hotel Indigo Atlanta Downtown wows guests with its contemporary interiors and central location near the World of Coca-Cola, Centennial Olympic Park and the CNN Center. The midcentury modern Hotel Indigo outpost showcases a variety of quintessential Portman features, including a curved staircase made of glass and steel and a circular bar with a floating canopy. Other on-site amenities include a fitness center and a restaurant that serves classic American fare with a modern twist. Sleek, minimalist decor is also found in the hotel's guest rooms and suites, which include Keurig coffee makers, HDTVs, free internet access and walk-in showers. Prior travelers appreciated the hotel's clean and modern rooms, though some lamented the slow Wi-Fi access and pricey parking fees ($25 per night). However, business travelers will love the property's business facilities, which include 17 meeting rooms and a 24-hour business center with computers and printers. Plus, IHG Rewards Club members can earn or redeem points for stays or events hosted here.

If you're looking to be in the heart of Atlanta's action, a stay at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta will suit your travel needs just right. That's because this 22-story Hyatt could not be more centrally located, touting an address smack dab in the middle of downtown. From the hotel's front doors, lodgers are just a few blocks from the city's top attractions, including the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola and Centennial Olympic Park. Previous visitors said the room rates definitely reflect the hotel's location, but concede that its value is unbeatable. However, some guests weren't as pleased with the lackluster rooms at this hotel, citing uninspiring decor and mediocre features. Accommodations feature standard amenities, such as complimentary Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs, down bedding and work stations. Other reviewers were annoyed with the many sounds that were audible from neighboring rooms and hotel facilities (some suggested requesting a room on a higher floor). In addition to its 1,260 guest rooms and suites, the hotel boasts a seasonal outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym, a 24-hour grab-and-go market and three restaurants. What's more, members of the brand's loyalty program can earn or redeem rewards for choosing to bed down here.
