The Sheraton Atlanta occupies a premium location in the central business district: one block from the convention center and Georgia State University and a half mile from Centennial Olympic Park. The park offers a public ice rink in winter and hosts inexpensive public music concerts in summer. A MARTA station three blocks away offers easy access to Hartsfield International Airport, the nifty Buckhead neighborhood of upscale shopping and nightclubs, midtown Atlanta and pro sports venues.
The hotel's 17,000 square feet of garden and poolside space surround an indoor/outdoor pool with a retractable roof. Recreational facilities also include a 24 hour fitness center stocked with the latest equipment. For dining, guests can pick from 24 hour room service or Spanish tapas at the hotel's elegant Fandangles, the buffet at The Collage or sandwiches, soups and salads at The Deli.
Newly refurbished guest rooms feature spacious desk areas, phones with data ports, plush top mattresses with thick down covers and triple sheeting, robes and trouser presses. Contemporary decor includes salmon and purple hues; broad, playful stripes; and warmly toned wood furniture.
In mid 2004, the hotel completed a $42 million renovation, resulting in a practically new place. Although the Sheraton is oriented towards business travelers and conventioneers, the facilities, location and services also should please leisure guests.
