Hotels in Atlanta, United States

Birthplace of that most famous fizzy drink in the world Coca Cola, Atlanta has a significant claim to fame. It was the birthplace of Martin Luther King and the home of Civil Rights. Hear the 'I have a dream' speech at the Martin Luther King Centre and discover the history of the Civil Rights Movement. Atlanta is very proud of its heritage and has so much to offer its visitors. Atlanta is not exactly a holiday destination but rather a venue to intensive business activity; it is the cultural and economic centre of the American South. Atlanta's geographical location and accessibility situation lend to the city being one of the largest and busiest convention centres in the US. It is recommended to business travellers that consideration is carefully given to hotel location to avoid delays in travelling.

Atlanta has a particularly hot and humid summer so visit in Spring and Autumn for more amenable temperatures. Visit in September and experience the Montreux Music Festival. Visit in May and settle into the Atlanta Jazz Festival. Nobody should miss the Atlanta Turkey Trot for thanksgiving.

Neighbourhoods in Atlanta are very varied in terms of character and lifestyle. Local cuisine reflects the diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds of its Hispanic, Caribbean, Asian and European population.
