The 12 Best Hotels in Atlanta
"Driving down Ponce de Leon Avenue, Hotel Clermont isn’t difficult to spot. The six-story, century-old brick building is topped with a sixty-five-foot radio tower bearing the Clermont name—an original relic that came down years ago but was proudly resurrected at the hotel’s splashy grand opening in 2018. At the check-in desk, you’ll be greeted with a free cold PBR, a tribute to the can-crushing dexterity of the notorious Blondie, who works the legendary lounge downstairs. Accommodations range from roomy suites to double-bunk rooms—nodding to the ones once favored by traveling bands staying at the Clermont Motor Lodge. Velvet headboards, lightbulb sconces, and record players add vintage appeal, and moody portraits by Atlanta College of Art graduate Sharon Shapiro were inspired by the Clermont Lounge dancers. The Hotel Clermont caters to a decidedly discriminating crowd, thanks to its top-notch service, upscale amenities, and celebrated restaurant." - Allison Weiss Entrekin
