the Westin Peachtree Plaza is quite a very long walk from the dome ... maybe to far to call it a walk, as is the Hyatt, Sheraton, Ritz, and a lot of other downtown hotels ... leaving the game Marta (transit system) will be a nightmare ... I suggest walking away from the dome then looking for a taxi
It's within walking distance of the Dome and right next to the Aquarium and Coke since my 12 year old is going.
Wonder were team will stay? Looks like a lot of team activities are taking place at Mariott acording to Chick-fil-abowl.com. thats why we booked there.
or Georgian Terrace. Thinking about saving some $ and trying one of the two. If not, I guess it'll be Marriott Marquis or the Westin. Thx</p>
Mariot Marquis is excellent and not a bad deal at all for $ 175 ... I love the Georgian Terrace...but the Embassy Suites is the best location by far ....; I know because I have built or renovated every hotel mentioned here .... I would guess the Hyatt downtown might be a pretty good deal ... as they are currently being renovated while in opperation ... yes, that's by me as well ..... also, the top of the Westin is called the Sundial... it rotates as you sit there - very cool place to hang out but very expensive ... yeah, renovated that one as well
I called hotel directly. It was $123Wed and $199 Thurs, Fri. No not including tax and parking.Purebred Dawg said:
SEC Team hotel is the Hilton (last I checked it was sold out) I booked mine about a month ago (along with every other bowl city option) The Marriott MArquis is the ACC Team hotel, which is connected to the Hilton via Skybridge. I know it still has rooms, bc I booked 3 this afternoon for some clients. The Hilton will probably have more availability once we know where we are going. I talked to the Sales Director last week and she said several groups were holding rooms waiting on the announcement.

I guess I'm used to driving it ... much different when you have to observe one way streets and such ...the path to the dome from there is very well lit with a lot of cops so I wouldn't be to concerned about safety especially with several others around you .... it still feels farther than that but I would trust googles' info .... you should pass by the world of coke, the aquarium, and centenial park ... all pretty cool places to visit (nothing special about the park)McGrupp said:
It had always been the Renaissance. It just made the switchover a couple weeks ago to the Melia. They closedup a few days, took down the Renaissance signs, put up the Melia signs and then reopened the doors. There isn't a WHOLE lot around the Melia as far as bars and restaurants - some, and some that are ok to pretty good. You can actually walk from there to the dome, but it's a haul - doable, but a haul. It's right by a Marta stop, though, so you can get on at North Ave, ride the train up to the Five Points station, make the changeover and ride the Westbound train right into the Dome. I have no idea what their rates are since they made the switch.
its the closest hotel to the Dome, located right at the CNN Center which has a good food court (if you're bringing along children)
Booked 3 nights at the Atlanta Marriot Gateway at the airport. New hotel for $109 a night, connected to airport by tram, then to MARTA. Makes since as I am flying
in and not wanting to rent a car. AND when I flew in the last time we were in Peach Bowl the crush to get on MARTA was absurd going back to Midtown and Buckhead but relatively easy going toward the airport. Have stayed before at the Hilton, Renaissance, Westin, Georgian Terrace and they are all nice.
