The 7 Reasons I Love W
Atlanta-Downtown
1. The good kind of lush. W
Atlanta-Downtown’s lobby is a thing of beauty. The hotel's incredible interiors are courtesy of Canadian interior design superstars, burdifilek. Taking its shimmering influences
from the lushness of the Peach State, sumptuous textures, eye catching
sculptural elements, and stunning installations bedeck the space. Admire
undulating, hand-carved walnut walls, a tree canopy mobile with hundreds of
metal leaves, and a custom-designed metal sphere before you even get to your
room.
2. Pods and ‘port. It’s
hard not to love a hotel with luminous check-in pods and a private heliport.

seating merges with planting beds in the sultry Living Room lounge. Soothe away
the heat of the Hotlanta day by the 22-foot water feature with its metal lilies
and onyx reflecting pool. If you’re in need of more substantial sustenance,
sashay to the hotels’ BLT steakhouse and tuck into Laurent Tourondel’s classic
Transatlantic fare.
4. Room to thrill. A
palette of mulberry, teal, or indigo greets you in the sultry guest rooms and
suites at the W. Rich Makassar wood and glossy acrylics create slick sleeping
quarters. Signature W beds, High Speed Internet
Access, Bliss amenities, and W’s legendary Whatever/Whenever service make every overnight a star stay.
5. Bath and beyond. When
you want to relax, choose from your sumptuous bathroom with Bliss Spa
amenities, the decadent, hip Bliss Spa (home of a brownie buffet!), and the
gorgeous WETBAR, with its infinity edge pool, views over downtown Atlanta, and
enticing signature cocktails.
6. The perfect address. You
couldn’t get better neighbors; the W basks downtown adjacent to soaring skyscrapers, the CNN
Center, the Georgia Aquarium, and Centennial Olympic Park.
7. Hot rates. Rooms
start at $135.
