The Starling is a stylish Midtown base that works particularly well if you want Atlanta’s gay scene within walking distance while still having the facilities of a large full-service hotel. It sits beside Colony Square and Piedmont Park, with the gay bars around 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue only a few blocks away. Rooms are contemporary and colourful, with floor-to-ceiling windows in many categories, free Wi-Fi and plenty of space to settle in. There’s a seasonal outdoor pool and terrace, fitness centre and full-service spa, while Lantana handles drinks, dinner and regular live entertainment downstairs. Piedmont Park is practically outside, and the High Museum of Art and Atlanta Botanical Garden are also nearby. Arts Center MARTA station is around a five-minute walk away, making airport connections straightforward. GayMapper tip: a good fit if you want the Midtown gay scene nearby but prefer a polished, design-led hotel rather than staying directly above a bar or club.

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.
