Atlanta is Georgia’s biggest city. So, to explore it thoroughly, it’s best to hire a car. Hotels here are aware of this and so many of them offer parking options. Here’s a round-up of the best ones including spa hotels, five-star places and digs in the very heart of Downtown Atlanta – bookable on Culture Trip.
JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead, for free electric car charging
Chain Hotel
This 25-floor hotel is set in the sophisticated Buckhead district of Atlanta, less than a 15-minute drive from the Downtown area. Book a Skyline Room and you can look out over this part of the city – with its 39 skyscrapers – from your window. The hotel’s parking lot comes with three free electric car charging stations and both self-park and valet parking options are available. Other highlights of the hotel include an indoor swimming pool and a low-lit craft cocktail bar with leather booths.
The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead, for a little bit of luxury
Chain Hotel, Luxury
It takes less than 15-minutes to drive from the Whitley to the Downtown area of Atlanta. However, there are plenty of things to keep you on-site. There’s the hotel spa – which takes up an entire floor of the hotel and offers treatments like the Southern Belle Facial – along with the restaurant, where the menu showcases Southern dishes like fried green tomatoes and braised short ribs. And finally, there are the suites – where one even comes with a Butler’s Pantry and a grand piano.
Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, for delectable cuisine
Chain Hotel
You can hand your car over to the valet and simply leave it in the parking lot when you stay at this hotel. It’s right in the heart of Midtown, so you can walk to sights like the High Museum of Art in less than 10 minutes. Days here start with breakfasts made with ingredients from the hotel’s terrace garden and end in Bar Margot – where you can sip cocktails like the Lady Victoria, made with vodka, lemon and rosemary.
The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta, for central convenience
Chain Hotel
Located right in the bullseye of Downtown, the Ritz Carlton is a few minutes walk from sights like Georgia Aquarium and SkyView Atlanta – choose a city-view room and you’ll be able to see this observation wheel from your window. There are countless bars and restaurants nearby, too. However, it’s worth checking out the on-site eateries when you stay here. Not least, AG – head here at lunch to try Georgian dishes like shrimp and pimento grits and a seasonal iced tea.

Chain Hotel
You can keep your car in a secure underground parking deck when you stay at this InterContinental. When you’re ready to be out and about, you can drive from here to Downtown Atlanta in less than 15 minutes. When you’re not exploring, the hotel offers a spa with treatments like lavender mud wraps. The Bourbon Bar is not to be missed, either – the menu features more than 70 different American bourbons and a long list of bourbon-based cocktails.
