This chic Atlanta hotel blends Southern elegance with modern comforts, featuring a top-notch restaurant, inviting spa, and a seasonal pool, perfect for a getaway.
"It sounds improbable to be an Alpine snow bunny in Atlanta, but the transformation of this swanky hotel’s Great Hall into The Winter Chalet makes it more possible. From November through January 31 (a thankfully extended season), Wednesdays through Saturdays from 4 to 10 p.m., you can book a nook to enjoy live music (Thursday to Saturday, 5 to 8 p.m.), seasonal drinks and treats by Scott Conant’s The Americano, and the company of companions as you cuddle up in fluffy, furry blankets, fat pillows, and with cozy art and rustic tables under the soft lights of mini chandeliers." - Su-Jit Lin, Eater Staff
"Offers a saltwater pool with day passes including free self-parking, Wi-Fi, towel service, and a spa discount." - Su-Jit Lin
"What did you see on arrival?Pulling into the circular drive of the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, nearly a dozen doormen stand ready to help you out of the car, assist with your bags, and offer you water. Inside the rotunda lobby, high-backed chairs surround small tables and guests sit in hushed conversation. The marble floors, giant planters, and neutral tones (with the occasional pop of orange) are more or less what you'd expect. What kind of crowd can we expect?Leisure travelers in town for a shopping spree love this hotel—it’s an easy half-mile walk along Peachtree Road to Lenox Square (David Yurman, Escada) and Shops Around Lenox (Lululemon, Draper James). It’s also close to beloved local spas such as Sweet Peach and Swatch Box. Dish out the details on the rooms.Plenty of hotels claim their rooms feel like those in a fine residence; the ones here actually do. Maybe it’s the pillow-top beds, the separate shower and tub, or the tasteful potted plants. Regardless, the feel is decidedly less antiseptic than your standard big-box hotel room. Do you have any favorite amenities?Pampering types, take note: The small spa offers a full menu of treatments, from antioxidant facials to lavender mud wraps; the second floor has a heated saline pool and whirlpool; and there’s also a nicer-than-average fitness center with elliptical trainers, Stairmasters, and locker rooms. What's the bottom line?Well-designed rooms, terrific food and drinks, awesome location. What’s not to like?" - Allison Weiss Entrekin
"Located in the heart of Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood just a short distance from some of the area’s best shopping and dining, InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta offers a range of high-end amenities for guests staying in its 422 rooms. The Spa InterContinental has a new menu of Biologique Recherche treatments, and it’s adjacent to a heated saltwater pool and a 24-hour fitness center. The hotel completed property-wide refurbishments in September 2022, something our readers certainly noticed; several praised how great the hotel looks post-renovation. Readers also complimented The Americano, an Italian American restaurant, with one even writing, 'I was shocked by the quality of food here. The restaurant is outstanding!'" - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Plan a spa day at the Intercontinental Buckhead, which includes a heated saltwater pool, making this pool a mostly all-season affair at the hotel. Kick off the day with a facial or massage at the spa, then pop over to the pool and claim one of the plush loungers for an afternoon of relaxation, cocktails, and snacks, only interrupted by quick dips to cool off from the summer sun." - Beth McKibben
