Best Family Hotels in Atlanta

Located just a few blocks east of the Georgia Aquarium and Centennial Olympic Park, this W hotel is a great headquarters for sightseeing families. But one of the property's biggest standout qualities is its wide variety of amenities. It's home to an outdoor pool, a fitness center and a spa; and if you're traveling with any four-legged friends, the W's pet program makes sure that dogs are welcome. Guests report the rooms are sleek and contemporary, equipped with the signature W bed, Bliss bath toiletries, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations. Recent lodgers also praise the rooftop pool bar for its panoramic city views. While you're here, take a chance on the in-house eatery – the W Kitchen restaurant, which serves delicious American cuisine. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Rewards members can earn and use points here.

Sandwiched between Buckhead and downtown, the Hyatt Atlanta Midtown is less than a mile southwest of Piedmont Park (a convenient perch from which to explore, according to past visitors). Each room is outfitted with a Hyatt Grand bed, a 40-inch flat-screen TV, refrigerator, coffee maker and iPod docking stations. Despite being amenity-packed, guests reported mixed reviews about the rooms. While some found them to be comfortable and nice, others found them to be dated, with some reporting sound issues and others citing matienance problems. If you need a refreshing escape, head to the indoor saltwater pool where chaise lounge chairs occupy the large pool deck. When your stomach starts to rumble, Fork & Juniper restaurant is the hotel's on-site eatery serving up Southern-style fare. If you're a Hyatt rewards member, you can take advantage of loyalty perks like cashing in points for free nights here.
