Hilton Atlanta

If you want to stay in one of the downtown megahotels, this is a good choice. One of Atlanta's top convention hotels -- with 104,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space -- the Hilton is surprisingly upscale for a chain lodging. Renovations to the executive level lounge, the entrance, and lobby took place within the last few years. Rooms have high ceilings and large windows (ask for one with views of downtown). Suites will make you feel as if you're sitting at home in your own living room; some have Murphy beds for extra guests.

The Hilton's premier restaurant is Nikolai's Roof, a 30th-floor dining room with spectacular skyline vistas. Multicourse prix-fixe French and Russian dinners are the specialty, as are the flavored vodkas steeped in-house. Adjacent to Nikolai's Roof is A Point of View bar. Trader Vic's, a Polynesian restaurant found at numerous Hiltons, provides its signature setting of palm trees and tiki torches, plus potent rum drinks.
