Pampering the modern business traveler is the goal of the helpful staff at this boutique hotel, which opened in February 1999. Though 20 minutes away from the shopping, dining, and nightlife of the famed Buckhead area, the W Atlanta is a convenient location if your plans include a trip to the World of Coca Cola or the IMAX Theater. Stark, light, and very chic, W Atlanta draws Atlanta's discerning business traveler with the many business-minded amenities and impeccable service. In fact, the service is tellingly named the Whatever/Whenever Service, and it offers just what it says. Where to dine in Buckhead? Any Braves tickets left for the game tonight? Ask and you shall receive.

Guest rooms offer a minimalist, boutique hotel ambience and stand well against the pricier Buckhead comparisons. Whether you're in town for work or play, slow down long enough to enjoy the Rainforest shower and Aveda bath products in every room, as well as the pillow-top mattresses with goose down comforters and pillows. Those planning an extended stay might want to request a room with a full kitchen.
