Downtown Atlanta's hotel scene is dominated by chains — highly-regarded chains, for sure, but chains nonetheless. If you're looking for something a little less corporate, consider The Ellis Hotel. Located downtown not far from the Convention Center and loads of shopping, drinking, and eating options, it's an ideal base camp for those visiting for business or pleasure. The rooms range from standard rooms with double beds to a large suite with a King-size bed, private parlor, and wetbar, but no matter which room you choose, you still get access to the Terrace Bistro, fitness center, lobby bar, and the hotel's famously excellent service.
