The Ritz Carlton Buckhead-Atlanta

The Ritz Carlton
3434 Peachtree Rd
Atlanta, Georgia 30326
ph: 404.237.2700
 
(From the Ritz Carlton Buckhead website)
The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead is setting the standard for elegance. With impeccable attention to detail, each of The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead hotel’s luxurious rooms and suites are inspired by the timeless appeal of Southern gardens and provide guests with an exceptional array of amenities. Located in the city’s finest neighborhood, this Atlanta-Buckhead hotel is four miles from Midtown’s cultural epicenter and nightlife.
 
In the mood for old school luxury and southern decadence? Make a reservation at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead in Atlanta. As soon as you pull up to the front door, you are greeted with poised valet, ready to get you started on your stay. The lobby is covered in rich wood grains and classic furniture. Stop for a second...look around and take in the elegance of the layout. Adjust your shades on top of your head and embrace your VIP-ness.
 
The guests rooms are lush and equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Whether it is wi-fi, nightly turn down service or the signature plush robe, the Ritz amenities are enough to make you hide out in your room all day. However, that is impossible since the property is literally, in between two of the best shopping locations in Atlanta; Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall.
 
Ok, so here is my favorite part of the Ritz Carlton Buckhead... afternoon tea!!! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!! If you have never taken the time and enjoyed a proper afternoon, I strongly suggest you add it to your "to do" list.
 
And because I have the best friends on the planet, my Ritz Carlton tea time was a full out, bridal tea party. It was absolutely fabulous. My guests and I enjoyed our private, afternoon tea decked out in big hats, pearls and pretty dresses. The tea servers were amazing and our personalized menu was full of teas, savory bites and delicious sweets. The experience was priceless and the location was classic.
 
*A-List tip - Request a corner room, facing Peachtree Road. The views are amazing and you get a little more space. Also, make sure you take afternoon tea!!!
 
Happy travels!!!

Homewood Suites by Hilton Atlanta-Buckhead, Georgia

Homewood Suites by Hilton Atlanta-Buckhead
3566 Piedmont Road
Atlanta, Georgia 30305

Home away from home- an often used phrase that holds deeper meaner for some than others. A hotel stay can be the little extra that tops off a great trip or the final factor that completes the trip from hell.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Atlanta-Buckhead is an all-suite hotel, close to the heart of trendy Buckhead. This hotel is part of Hilton's extended-stay brand and is designed to appeal to the business road warrior or casual weekend travelers.

Why is Homewood Suites-Buckhead on the A-List?? Allow me to list the reasons why:
  • Free parking for guests - This is a HUGE bonus, especially in this area. No need to look for those parking fees on your checkout bill.
  • Free breakfast every morning - Roll out of bed and head to the social area for a hot and delicious breakfast.
  • Free managers' social - Voila - Hotel Happy Hour!! Gotta love it!! It is only available Monday thru Thursday but what a way to wind down the day!!
  • All suite hotel - Space, space and more space!! Each room has a den, kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom
  • Great price! Weekends are usually cheaper times to travel but ask the reservations' representative if there are any specials.
*A-List tip - Heading to the mall or out to dinner?? Save money on parking and valet fees and take advantage of the hotel shuttle. It travels within a 3 mile radius.

Happy travels!!!
