W Atlanta - Midtown

Owner

With the magnificent Midtown Mile to the left, picturesque Piedmont Park to the right, world-class culture next door, the hottest clubs in the zone and the splendid 1180 Peachtree looming above, you?re in the middle of it all at the W Atlanta Midtown. Lounge in our lavish Living Room, make a pit stop at Bliss spa or host a meeting in Altitude, a private room atop the city. With W Hotels, your wish is our command with our Whatever/Whenever? service. We'll provide whatever you want, whenever you want it (really!).

In Short – Location is everything, and the W fits perfectly into trendy Midtown. Vibrant accents brighten every room achieving a style that is minimal and over the top at the same time. The sleek and funky set-up is perfect for a couple days' getaway or a hip place to do business. Tightly designed, details are everything, from flowers to lowlights. The downstairs bar becomes a place to be on the weekends, crowded and loud just like a bar should be. –

Great location!

by rach4fsu

My husband and I stayed here a few weeks ago. It's a great location for anyone wanting to hang out in the Midtown area - just a walk away from restaurants and local sights. The club downstairs can tend to be a little loud, but it's a great place to get a cocktail with friends.

A Dump With New Paint Is Still A Dump

by JohnGalt63

If your idea of class is a ?80 Cutlass with an iridescent paint job, $5000 rims, and a 50,000 watt sound system; then the W Hotel in Midtown is the place for you. The hotel was remodeled from an old Sheraton using a lot of black and chrome. The attempt to be hip and trendy is undermined by the cheap room furnishings and antiquated infrastructure. Air conditioning problems abound in this hotel (rooms and hallways) and the water pressure was abysmal. My reservation was incorrect and I had to pepper the concierge to get anything other than promises and platitudes. The rates were fairly steep and yet the hotel constantly nickel-and-dimes the guests for every service and supply.

The hotel is also the current Atlanta hot nightspot for the rap music industry, and alternative lifestyle community. Take this as a plus or minus depending on your tastes. You can see celebrities and other interesting people doing interesting things at the hotel lounge and lobby in the evenings.

On the very short list of plusses: the rooms were well supplied with towels, the rainfall shower head made up for the lack of water pressure, the rooms had HDTV, and the location is convenient to downtown Atlanta. I also want to give a big shout out to the valet and porter staff for their courtesy and service.

This is more of a place for young people with large amounts of disposable income to be seen than a place for professionals and experienced travelers to stay. The latter groups being advise to avoid this place at all costs. Horribly over-priced, definitely not a place for families or seasoned professionals; this hotel is oriented to x-gen DINCs, urbanites, and metrosexuals.
