Hotel Granada, a Member of Design Hotels, brings a very different feel to Midtown Atlanta, combining the character of a historic 1920s building with a stylish contemporary makeover. Formerly the Artmore Hotel, it reopened after a major renovation and now forms part of Marriott’s Design Hotels collection. The Spanish Colonial building is arranged around a leafy internal courtyard, with terracotta floors, archways and colourful interiors giving it considerably more personality than the average city hotel. Rooms continue the relaxed design theme, while facilities include a fitness centre, Pom Court restaurant and the moodier May Peel cocktail bar. The location is particularly convenient for Atlanta’s cultural side, with the High Museum of Art, Symphony Hall and Arts Center MARTA station all close by. Piedmont Park is less than a mile away, while Midtown’s restaurants and bars are easy to explore on foot. GayMapper tip: a lovely choice if you favour smaller, characterful hotels and want Midtown rather than Downtown as your Atlanta base.

Tours & Experiences in Atlanta

Atlanta mixes Southern history with a very modern, very social energy. Visit the Georgia Aquarium and Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, explore the city’s food scene, then head towards Midtown when you’re ready to see another side of Atlanta come alive.


Gay friendly hotels in Atlanta

Midtown is one of the best areas for LGBTQ+ visitors to Atlanta, with a concentration of gay nightlife around Piedmont Avenue and easy access to Piedmont Park, restaurants and the wider city. Atlanta’s scene spreads beyond Midtown too, so having good transport or using rideshares is useful if you want to explore it properly. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels include central, good-value and luxury options, whether you want nightlife nearby, a pool for recovering the next day or a comfortable base for a longer Atlanta stay.
