Fodor's Expert Review Georgian Terrace

659 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30308, USA

Enrico Caruso and other stars of the Metropolitan Opera once stayed in this fine 1911 hotel across the street from the Fox Theatre. The columned lobby is striking, and breathtaking terraces traverse the exterior, making it a popular venue for wedding receptions. The street-level Edgar's P&P bar serves up craft cocktails and delicious nibbles made with in-house ingredients amid an equally inviting scene. Livingston Restaurant's seafood is a high point, and simple sides such as roasted Brussels sprouts are excellent.

PROS

  • rooftop pool and penthouse-level fitness room offer incredible city views
