for tourists, but if you're willing to do a little traveling, you'll be amazed
by the amount of entertainment options that are available just a short drive from
the city. When traveling to the city, you'll find plenty
of comfortable accommodations to make your trip even more enjoyable. If you are
flying into the city, you really don't have to travel very far from the airport
to find lodging. You can also find plenty of comfortable options in the city,
midtown and Buckhead. The Hilton
Atlanta Airport features plush accommodations and a contemporary flair. The
amenities provide both elegance and comfort, and the service is Southern hospitality
at its finest. What's even better is that the hotel is just minutes from shopping,
entertainment and fine dining. The Westin Atlanta Airport is another luxury hotel
with over 22,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, spacious guestrooms and
a variety of dining options on site. Many travelers prefer
to stay in Buckhead. With more shopping and dining options that any location in
the Southeast, it's easy to see why. The Swissotel Atlanta Buckhead is is a stylish,
high-rise hotel situated in the Buckhead area and is perfect for a weekend getaway.
The beautifully appointed guestrooms are spacious and well furnished. Just down
the street you'll find an affordable option in the Wingate
Inn Buckhead . The hotel even offers a complimentary limousine ride to the
elegant Phipps & Lenox Malls, that are within a 2-mile radius of Buckhead's
finest dining and nightlife If you don't want to deal with
the congestion of downtown, Midtown Atlanta has several lodging options including
the Hampton Inn Atlanta Midtown or the Villager Lodge Atlanta Midtown. Staying
downtown may make your trip out of town to area attractions a bit more inconvenient,
but it will be worth the effort. The downtown area has multiple quality hotels
to choose from. For those on a budget, the Days Inn Downtown
will save you money without have to sacrifice amenities. This charming property
offers guests clean, comfortable accommodations, and excellent service in a location
that is convenient to all of downtown Atlanta 's most popular tourist attractions
and businesses. The Super
8 Atlanta Downtown is also easy on the wallet. If you're looking to splurge
try the Omni Hotel At CNN Center . The luxury hotel is situated opposite the Centennial
Olympic Park and connected to the Philips Arena and the Georgia World Congress
Center. If you're a history buff, a trip to the Etowah
Indiana Community will be well worth the drive. Just 45-minute from downtown in
Cartersville, the site features ceremonial mounds that date back more than 1,000
years. The mounds were used as burial places for priests platforms and temples.
The largest of the grassy mounds rises 63-feet above the ground. The
history lesson continues with a trip down U.S. Highway 27 to Fort Oglethorpe .
The Fort features more than 600 monuments and markers that depict battle lines
and commemorate casualties at this Civil War historical site in the northwest
corner of Georgia , just 90 miles from downtown Atlanta . Inside of the visitor
center there are over 300 weapons on display that date back to the Revolutionary
War and continue through World War II. More-->> |
