Not every Atlanta vacation should revolve around traffic, rooftop bars and downtown skyscrapers. That's exactly why Atlanta Evergreen earned a place in our rankings. Sitting inside Stone Mountain Park, the resort gives travelers a completely different side of metro Atlanta. Wake up overlooking the lake, spend the day hiking or golfing, then enjoy a quieter evening without feeling like you've left the city behind. We also like that this hotel fills a gap in Atlanta's hospitality scene. There simply aren't many true resort-style experiences within easy driving distance of Downtown.
