The Atlanta Marriott Marquis paints a picture of prestige with its soaring 50 story atrium. Presiding over the heart of downtown Atlanta's Peachtree Center, the hotel stands next to Peachtree Center Mall and close to Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Dome, Georgia State University and Georgia Tech, CNN, the Martin Luther King Center, the Carter Presidential Center, the Atlanta Braves' Turner Field, and Zoo Atlanta. Hartsfield International Airport is just 20 minutes away.

The lobby of this downtown Atlanta hotel is a cavernous maze of curved staircases, escalators, restaurants, meeting rooms and shops, nearly a city within a city. Dining options include the hotel's upscale and candlelit Marquis Steakhouse, which features steaks from Chicago and seafood flown in daily from Hawaii, Seattle and Boston. For more casual dining, Allie's American Grill dishes up early morning breakfast buffets and lunches of burgers, chicken sandwiches, light pastas and other American fare. And guests can always kick back in Champions Sports Bar, the Grandstand Lounge and the Atrium Express.

For relaxation, guests can enjoy the hotel's indoor and outdoor pools, 24 hour health club, sauna and steam rooms. Corporate travelers and conventioneers can get their work done in a Kinko's business center and in 48 meeting rooms. The hotel also includes wireless Internet access in all common areas.

Hotel accommodations include 1,675 guestrooms with high speed Internet access, complimentary premium channels, modular desks, leather work chairs, and beds with down comforters.

With the Georgia World Congress Center one mile away, guests primarily include conventioneers, corporate executives and large groups, although families, couples and other leisure travelers stay here to enjoy the accommodations, amenities and location close to everything they want. There is just something about staying in a huge hotel right in the middle of downtown.
