When Ray Charles sang ‘Georgia on My Mind’, he was almost certainly talking about a memorable trip to Six Flags Over Georgia – while not confirmed, we rate it’s highly likely.

This epic theme park, opened in 1967, has 11 heart-stopping – not literally – roller coasters, plus its brand new Hurricane Harbour water park. Just one look at the loop-the-loops and you’ll be left feeling dizzy. After all that exertion, you’ll need somewhere to rest and recuperate and we’ve curated a great selection of hotels for you – all bookable on Culture Trip.

1. The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta

Here, European glamour meets Southern hospitality. Of course, you’ll love this place – it’s a Ritz Carlton, after all – but there is enough of a Georgia twist on this stone-cold classic to make it a unique experience, too. The stately and sumptuous rooms – where modern meets neo-classical – have feather beds, marble baths with rain showers, a 55” HD TV and even a complimentary overnight shoeshine. Downstairs, you’ll find two restaurants, a café and a gym to work it all off afterward.

2. Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Lithia Springs

The guest rooms feature sleek decor and contemporary furnishings, adorned in restful pastels to aid a good night’s sleep. Hotel facilities include complimentary parking, a gym and lap pool and an on-site restaurant serving American cuisine for breakfast and dinner.

Since this is next to the world headquarters of CNN, here are the headlines: chic rooms with spectacular views, a generous choice of food and drink options, an outdoor heated pool and sundeck – along with a Coca-Cola-themed suite available – all connected to the State Farm Arena and Georgia World Congress Centre. This just in: the rooms are beautifully finished with tasteful elegance and the suites with park views are something to behold.

Nearly all of the must-see attractions are within walking distance of this modern hotel – it’s opposite Georgia Aquarium, a short nine-minute walk from the Georgia World Congress Centre and just 13 minutes away from the nearest subway station. The friendly and comfortable rooms are great for kicking back in after a day of exploring the city and facilities include a complimentary breakfast buffet, mini-mart and fitness center – plus a very attractive outdoor pool to take the edge off the Atlanta heat.

​​No, we won’t make a joke about feedback – we’re too good for that. But true excess exists in all areas of this Hard Rock iteration – with music as the central theme, of course. Your very cool luxurious room focuses on personalisation: use voice commands to play your own music, change the temperature or tweak the lighting. Amenities include a sleek cafe/bar, 24/7 dining and a rooftop bar where you can enjoy live music as you soak up the unparalleled views of the Atlanta skyline. The wonders of Six Flags Over Georgia is a little over a 10-minute journey on a good day.
