Westin > W anywhere.

@BCG1 - The W Taipei and W Hong Kong disagree with you, but the W Chicago City Center totally agrees with you.

Depending on where your client is, the Le Meridien in the north part of town is excellent.

W buckhead has an amazing breakfast, but don't love the rooms
Westin Buckhead and JW Buckhead are my favorites
St Regis is solid if within your budget. It's across from a Whole Foods
The W midtown is in a great location but the wifi and rooms aren't great.
Don't stay in downtown unless you're doing the Ritz Carlton (don't do the one in Buckhead)
I've heard good things about Twelve, but downtown kinda sucks to be honest. Most people who've stayed there said it was nice but the preferred the JW in Buckhead.

If you're at the JW (or Westin) in Buckhead, join The Forum gym. It's a really great gym with lots of eye candy (for both men and women) to keep you motivated

#neverW. That one particular. No bathroom doors and weird green lighting.

When I was young, W and stayed at nearly 50 of them. As I got older, St-Regis or Westin.

I have no idea what the twelve is, but I really like both the W and Westin in Buckhead. Would prob go for W tho

Thanks E1. Twelve is an autograph collection property part of Marriott.

Stay in Buckhead or midtown. I basically lived at the St. Regis. Say hi to George and Rory for me.

The W Buckhead has tiny ass rooms and shitty TVs... If you're fortunate to be upgraded to a suite that my be a different story...

That W buckhead is the best. Became great friends with them.

Thanks D1

Second D1 for the forum.

Westin hands dow

St Regis Atlanta

Definitely try the Whitley - it’s awesome. It’s one of the SPG luxury brands. The lounge has free top shelf booze and really good food. St Regis is also awesome

@D2 there are 606 reasons why I love that hotel
