Top Atlanta, Georgia Hotels

Top Atlanta, Georgia Hotels
Aside from the humidity and heat that takes over the city during the height of summer, Atlanta is a great place to play golf in an urban setting. It's fairly easy to find a top-rated hotel in Atlanta that is not too far away from an excellent golf course. If you are staying inside the city proper, you want to find a golf course that doesn't put you in the heavy traffic going back and forth between the city and the suburbs.

Grand Hyatt

The Grand Hyatt is centrally located in the upscale Buckhead section of Atlanta. This puts you within easy driving distance of some of the best restaurants in the city as well as the higher-class malls, Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. The rooms here feature plush mattresses and marble bathrooms. The Grand Hyatt offers a fitness center with everything from treadmills to resistance bands. You can also make an appointment with the masseuse. The Bobby Jones Golf Course is located nearby.

Shellmont Inn

The Shellmont Inn is an Atlanta bed and breakfast near the midtown section. This location places you in the middle of the city's cultural district and is a prime spot if you are planning on catching a show at the Fox Theater. The rooms inside this converted Victorian mansion feature hardwood bed frames, free Wi-Fi, a large-screen TV and private bathrooms. A popular way to watch the day come to an end is to sip tea on the veranda while relaxing in the big rocking chairs. The trip back from the nearby Ansley Golf Club takes around 15 minutes.

Marriott Marquis

The Marriott Marquis places you squarely in downtown Atlanta. The atrium in the lobby reaches up 50 stories and the rooms feature views of the city's skyline. If you like sports, you can't miss High Velocity, the hotel's sports bar adorned with 21 televisions and nothing but sports on each of them. Celebrate a great day on the links with a big steak dinner at Sear, the in-house restaurant. Warm up on the nearby Browns Mill Golf Course before heading away from downtown to the more challenging courses around the city.
