"An upscale hotel offering a heated saltwater pool and an acclaimed Italian steakhouse, positioned as a comfortable urban retreat after exploring the city's attractions." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"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
"At the InterContinental Buckhead the national Whiskies of the World event will offer more than 150 whiskies from around the globe, with a pour list that includes single malts, bourbons, Scotch, Japanese whiskies, tequila, and selections from regions such as Kentucky, India, Israel, and Scotland; general admission tickets begin at $125 and VIP tickets are $175." - Henna Bakshi
"When I opt for a day at a hotel pool I’ll consider the InterContinental in Buckhead because its pool is filled with saltwater and the day rate includes free self-parking, Wi‑Fi, towel service, and a spa discount; I also appreciate the 10 percent discount on the poolside menu from Scott Conant’s The Americano downstairs and the tempting shareable snacks, raw-bar selections and sweet treats like strawberry mousse–stuffed bombolini doughnuts." - 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
