What it is

A glimmering tower overlooking the surrounding cityscape, with its own private heliport.

What it isn't

As over the top as a Real Housewife. Southern charm is everywhere here.

What we think

Southern glamazons in-the-know flock to W Atlanta Downtown for myriad reasons, and not least because they know how to make an entrance. Where else can you dip into a zero-edge rooftop pool while the bartender is shaking your dirty martini? This place knows how to pamper, from the 24-hour room service to the limo driver on call. Rooms are equally unexpected, in rich purples and browns that are anything but business as usual; bathrooms are stocked with peek-a-boo showers and amenities from Bliss, the much-ballyhooed New York spa that indulged everyone from Julia Roberts to Madonna in the nineties.

You're here because

You came to party as DJ’s spin at Wetbar, that rooftop boite upstairs—loving the fact that your room is just a quick stumble away.

The Moment

It’s not often that you want to feel like Courtney Love, but in the Bliss Spa, you’re more than delighted to. The red carpet Triple Oxygen Treatment, combined with a Blissage75—a.k.a. unquestionably the greatest massage you’ve ever head—make you feel like your 90s best all over again.
