The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead

Atlanta, Georgia

Virgin rating

The hotel

Buckland is home to some of the best restaurants, shopping, art galleries and nightlife in Atlanta, an is one of the most affluent and trendy communities in the area. If this sound like you're kind of vibe, then the newly renovated, sophisticated Whitley hotel puts you in a great location to explore all of this. If you're staying on a Saturday, we highly recommend trying out 'Tipsy Tea' at the Trade Root restaurant within the hotel, where you can try gin infused teas alongside your classic finger sandwiches and teatime bakes. The restaurant and lounge is great at any time of day though, and you can even enjoy some live jazz music whilst sipping on a cocktail on select evenings. When you're not enjoying the food and drink on offer, book a treatment in the spa or relax in the sauna. And if you really want to make the most of the hotel's facilities, upgrade to a club room to enjoy the additional benefits of the lounge - hors d'oeuvres and wine in the evening?! That's a yes from us.

We truly appreciate Marriott and have had such a positive experience during our time here. With the recent fires in LA and the unexpected Georgia snowstorm, we chose to extend our stay in Atlanta. The Whitley went above and beyond by upgrading us to a lovely suite on the 15th floor, which really brightened our spirits. The breakfast buffet was beautifully arranged, and I must say, the grits were simply delightful—reminded me of my time living in Atlanta. What touched us the most, however, was the kindness of the staff. They took the time to share their favorite Marriott properties for vacations, which felt so genuine and warm during such a trying time. It’s heartening to see how dedicated the restaurant staff were, working tirelessly through the storm while maintaining such graciousness. We are truly grateful for their efforts in lifting our spirits during this challenging period. Thank you so much for making our experience memorable and uplifting. Read less

We had a great experience at the Whitely. The restaurant was open late until 10 which helped as we made it in around 8 and didn’t have to worry about the restaurant being closed. The hotel staff were very helpful and extremely friendly. We would definitely stay at this establishment again.

Our first visit to The Whitley was a few days ago and it was outstanding. I had stayed at this property many times when it was the Ritz Carlton, but due to business and geography changes had not visited The Whitley until this weekend. Every member of the staff that we encountered was gracious, well-trained, and welcoming. The decor in both the public spaces and guest rooms was warm and inviting. We have stayed in numerous high end hotels in Atlanta and its suburbs, but The Whitley is our new favorite. We will be back! Read less

My fiance and I spent our first New Year’s Eve together at The Whitley Hotel, and it was nothing short of amazing. The decor, libations, food and vibes were all on point, and made for great friendships to be made! Thank for helping us have a memorable time. Happy New Year to the entire staff. Here’s to 2025 🍸💫🎉.
