Hotels
Most of Atlanta's big hotels are part of international chains. This allows for both comfortably standardised accommodation and pervasive blandness. Alas, this is especially true of the airport area, which offers plenty of rooms but little in the way of luxury or character. The discriminating traveller would fare better downtown, in the cluster of hotels on Peachtree Street near International Boulevard, or in Buckhead along Peachtree Road (which becomes Peachtree Street as it winds south).Unfortunately, despite hosting the 1996 Summer Olympics, serious gaps remain in Atlanta's hotel industry. Certain amenities, such as safes for laptops and mobile-phone rentals, are still relatively rare. If your hotel leaves something to be desired, ask the concierge, who should be a fine example of southern courtesy.
One standard amenity, though, is the swimming pool. Indoor ones are frequently heated all year; outdoor pools should be accessible from May through September. Bring a bathing suit.
