Looking for the poshest and priciest?

Otherwise, here are a few hotels we think are outstanding. Rates listed are rack rates, but lower prices may be available with online booking:

Downtown

Best Western Inn at the Peachtrees 330 West Peachtree St. 404-577-6970.	$69-$129.	Want to be downtown but like more intimate quarters? This fits the bill nicely with its 112 rooms and AAA three-diamond ranking.
Embassy Suites (Downtown Centennial Park) 267 Marietta St. 404-223-2300.	$169-$285.	Overlooks Centennial Olympic Park and is across the street from CNN Center, Philips Arena, Georgia Dome and the Georgia World Congress Center. There's a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on the lobby level.
Hyatt Regency Atlanta 265 Peachtree St. 404-577-1234.	$95-$275.	Built in 1967, it was the first big-deal "modern" hotel downtown. The bright blue Polaris revolving restaurant-bar is now in the shadow of much taller buildings, but with a 1999 renovation, the 1,264-room hotel is a reliable bet. It's right at the Peachtree Center MARTA station.

Midtown
Ansley Inn Bed and Breakfast 253 15th St. 404-872-9000.	AAA three diamond. $109-$199.	Located in Ansley Park, one of the city's loveliest neighborhoods, this B&B is also close to the High Museum of Art, Atlanta Botanical Garden and Piedmont Park.
Georgian Terrace Hotel 659 Peachtree St. 404-897-1991.	Rooms from $129. Suites from $159.	Bask in luxury and Atlanta history at this elegant hotel across Peachtree Street from the Fox Theatre. Built in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel is known for hosting the premier party of "Gone With the Wind" in 1939.

Virginia-Highland
Highland Inn 644 North Highland Ave. 404-874-5756	$59.95-$105.95	Slightly bohemian, the 105-room European-style inn is close to the trendy Virginia-Highland area, steps away from several good restaurants and the MARTA bus line. Rooms clean and comfortable, but spare.

The most luxurious
For the poshest -- and priciest -- try the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead (404-237-2700), a AAA five diamond, Mobil 4 star property convenient to Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza.

Or head to the Four Seasons (404-881-9898), a Mobil five star property on 14th Street in Midtown, near the Woodruff Arts Center. Rooms at both begin at nearly $300 and suites exceed $1,000.
