THIS IS THE ATLANTA YOU CAME TO SEE

Atlanta has a lot of hotels. But if you want to be in the middle of the city, Downtown and Midtown are where the conversation starts. Downtown puts you near the city's biggest attractions, major sporting events, concerts, convention centers and some of Atlanta's most recognizable hotels. Midtown brings a different energy. Think rooftop cocktails, restaurants, nightlife, Piedmont Park, arts and culture, and hotels where the lobby can be just as interesting as the room upstairs.

And while they're only a few miles apart, Downtown Atlanta and Midtown Atlanta are two very different hotel experiences. That's why BlkTravel ranks the best hotels across both neighborhoods, looking beyond star ratings and expensive room rates to consider service, location, amenities, atmosphere, value and Black Traveler Comfort. Some hotels are made for a weekend of exploring. Others are perfect for a concert, a birthday trip, a romantic getaway or a staycation where you barely leave the property. And some put you close enough to Atlanta's nightlife that the Uber ride won't cost more than your first round of drinks.

Because where you stay in Atlanta can change the entire trip.

And these are the Downtown and Midtown hotels we'd actually book.
