We would also be remiss not to mention AG, the hotel’s retro yet elegant steakhouse, whose signature dishes include a Black Australian Wagyu striploin served over Himalayan sea salt with bearnaise and red wine sauce.

Nobu Atlanta

Neighborhood: Buckhead

Given Nobu Atlanta’s prime Buckhead location, as well as the superb cuisine at its buzzy sushi restaurant, Nobu Atlanta is the ideal spot for a memorable staycation. The property’s 152 guestrooms and suites combine the elegant influence of Japanese style with the “city in the forest” vibe that Atlanta is known for. (Think hand-painted paper wallcoverings, dark wood accents, and pocket gardens throughout the property). But the true highlight is the dining, which is simply sublime. We recommend an order of crispy tuna rice.
