Don’t miss the Lumen Lounge, which pairs live music with signature sips such as the “Millions of Peaches,” a cocktail inspired by the state’s official fruit. 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.Â

Hotel Clermont
Neighborhood: Poncey-Highland
Situated in the heart of Atlanta’s Poncey-Highland neighborhood, the historic Hotel Clermont has been thoroughly renovated into a hip boutique hotel. Go for the food and nightlife, which includes their famed restaurant Tiny Lou’s, a French-Southern brasserie serving dinner and a weekend brunch, and their bustling Roof Top with widespread views of Atlanta and a colorful crowd of both locals and hotel guests.

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.
