Fodor's Expert Review Rosewood Hotel Georgia

The classy Rosewood is one of the city's most historic properties: the 1927 Georgian Revival building once welcomed prestigious guests such as Elvis Presley and Katharine Hepburn. The rooms are elegant but can be noisy if facing busy Georgia Street, and Classic rooms can be on the small side: pay the extra and go for the Deluxe. The entire hotel has a cool retro feel that infuses original features like ornamental wood and brass finishings with antiques upholstered in snappy fresh fabrics. Be sure to pick up the map of the impressive contemporary art collection gracing the lobby, the second floor, and the fourth-floor terrace. Sense, the on-site spa, is a luxurious retreat, while Hawksworth, the on-site restaurant and lounge, is a destination in its own right. For one of the city's best cocktails, visit Prohibition, a glamorous, underground cocktail bar inspired by 1920s lounge culture. And in summer, ther garden terrace is an oasis of foliage, tapas, cocktails, and lounging furniture.
