Ritz-Carlton Buckhead

Frommer's Review

The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead is the Rolls Royce of Atlanta hotels. Every inch of this hotel oozes luxury, from the lobby to the public areas, which are graced with Regency and Georgian antiques and an outstanding collection of 18th- and 19th-century artwork. The quality of service matches the sumptuous surroundings. The location is excellent -- on the fringe of lovely neighborhoods, across the street from two upscale malls (Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square), and close to Buckhead's fine restaurants and nightspots. Many visiting celebrities, used to discreet elegance, choose to stay here, and Atlantans looking for a special getaway often check in on the weekends.

The rooms, all with large bay windows, were upgraded during a $5-million renovation. They're exquisitely decorated, with armoires, luxuriously upholstered sofas or armchairs, and marble-topped desks. Bathrooms contain the amenities you'd expect in a posh hotel. Twelve units are accessible to travelers with disabilities. Club Level guests can enjoy the comfortable Club Lounge, which offers complimentary meals, snacks, and cocktails.

The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead is one of Atlanta's premier restaurants. The Lobby Lounge, with mahogany-paneled walls and a glowing fire, is the setting for afternoon English-style teas, which are hard to come by elsewhere in this city. A classical pianist plays here daily, a jazz quartet entertains in the evenings, and a martini menu is offered each night.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; wine bar; indoor pool; fitness center w/aerobics and weight rooms, saunas, Jacuzzi, and sun deck; concierge; limousine on request; airport shuttle; shuttle to nearby malls (when available); salon; 24-hr. room service; laundry, dry-cleaning, and 1-hr. pressing service; babysitting and business services available for a fee to Club Level guests.
