What are the best places to stay in Atlanta?

East Atlanta Village

Head east of Downtown to explore the exciting neighbourhood of East Atlanta Village.

The roads are lined with colourful street art, and restaurants showcase food from every cuisine imaginable. When you book tickets to Atlanta, consider staying in East Atlanta Village if you want a sophisticated city feel with a slow-paced suburban atmosphere.

Old Fourth Ward

The centrally-located Old Fourth Ward is famous for being the home of Martin Luther King, Jr. and is one of the most historic neighbourhoods to explore when you book return flights to Atlanta. Throughout the neighbourhood, you can learn about Atlanta’s civil rights movement and visit places that Martin Luther King, Jr. frequented while he was a resident. In recent years, gentrification has hit the Old Fourth Ward so in addition to historic landmarks, you can take in bustling markets, parks and art installations. If you’d like to experience the historic side to the city and have easy access to Downtown, consider reserving a hotel in Old Fourth Ward when you book flights to Atlanta.

If you’re hoping to experience the best weather of the American Southeast, book your tickets to Atlanta for travel in spring or autumn. These seasons hold beautiful weather with temperatures of about 22°C during the day. During these seasons, you can also attend some of Atlanta’s most popular events, including Atlanta Jazz Festival, Atlanta Pride, and the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival. Spring and autumn experience the occasional rain shower, so be sure to carry an umbrella with you if you book flights to Atlanta at these times.

Summertime temperatures regularly exceed 32°C, and the summer is also the busiest time to book airfare to Atlanta. The high temperatures and stifling humidity of the summer have led to Atlanta being nicknamed ‘Hotlanta.’ While many locals prefer to spend summer days indoors, the city comes to life in the cooler evenings with outdoor barbecues and events, such as the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival.
For a quieter holiday experience, you could book cheap flights to Atlanta during winter, which is the city’s low season. During the day, winter temperatures average a brisk 12°C. Snow is extremely rare in Atlanta, but at night, temperatures can dip to about 1°C. If you book flights to Atlanta in winter, spend your days exploring then warm up in the evening by visiting one of the city’s cosy pubs or lively music venues.
