About Atlanta

Deep in the heart of Georgia

Sprawling across suburban Atlanta is a thoroughly modern city, with a highly contemporary outlook on life. Famed as much for its cultural as its corporate life (Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines and CNN are based here) it's the high-tech gateway to America's Deep South. From here you can connect to more than 200 USA destinations. So explore!

From hip boutique haunts to towering five-star piles, Atlanta has an overwhelming choice of places to stay. For a romantic break in the luxury price bracket, the Four Seasons (75 14th Street) is a fine choice close to superb shops, restaurants and bars. The trendy Ellis Hotel (176 Peachtree Street) is a mid-range gem in a century-old building, with quirky extras such as in-room curling tongs and a women-only floor. If B&Bs are more to your taste and budget, King-Keith House (889 Edgewood Avenue) is in a lovely Victorian mansion along a quiet but central street with a peaceful garden.

Atlanta has a wealth of upmarket department stores, immense shopping centres, designer boutiques and intriguing little shops and markets. Lenox Square (3393 Peachtree Road) and Phipps Plaza (3500 Peachtree Road) are two mega malls a short bag-laden stagger from each other in Buckhead. The districts of Little Five Points and Virginia-Highland have edgy and vintage fashion boutiques, such as Bill Hallman (792 North Highland Avenue) and Lucky Exchange (212 Ponce de Leon Avenue). Meanwhile, Saturday's Morningside Farmers' Market (1393 North Highland Avenue) is a happening spot for free cooking demonstrations, food stalls and artisan soaps, candles and jewellery.

Atlanta is the home of Coca Cola and hot dogs, so pay homage to fast food with a visit to classic US drive-in Varsity (61 North Avenue), running since 1928. However, there is more on offer in Atlanta than merely burgers and fries. Authentic southern comfort food from fried chicken to gumbo is great value at the landmark Colonnade Restaurant (1879 Cheshire Bridge Road) and the Atlanta Fish Market (265 Pharr Road). For haute cuisine, one of the hottest tables in town is Bacchanalia (1198 Howell Mill Road), where chefs are obsessed with farm-to-table freshness.
