The Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta
Atlanta, GA 30303 (404) 659-1400
We love this hotel for a few reasons. It’s located in a great part of Downtown, just a 5-minute drive to the wedding venue. It’s a short walk to Centennial Olympic Park, the SkyView wheel, World of Coke, Georgia Aquarium and a variety of restaurants (we love Ted’s Montana Grill). There’s a Starbucks in the hotel lobby. On the 72nd floor of the hotel you’ll find the rotating Sundial restaurant + bar - the skyline views are worth a pricey cocktail. We also love this hotel because of its history. It was designed by Atlanta’s most prolific architect, John Portman (you’ll notice streets named after him). He is known for his stunning atriums and glass elevators. When it opened, the Westin Peachtree Plaza was the tallest hotel in the U.S. Be sure to check out its spiral staircase and indoor/outdoor pool. Reservations must be made by Feb. 14 to receive the discounted room block rate of $139. If you drive, there is self-parking for $25 or overnight valet for $49. We can’t wait to see you!
