The Hampton Inn & Suites in Midtown is a reliable, well-rated address in just the right location — close to Piedmont Park and the queer scene. Popular with the gay community, it scores with free breakfast, pool and a fair price. Ideal if you want to stay overnight in an uncomplicated and central way.
Renaissance Atlanta Midtown is located in the middle of Midtown, the queer heart of the city and the center of gay life in Atlanta for decades. From the hotel, you can walk to the best gay bars, Piedmont Park and MARTA station. It features a rooftop bar, Southern-inspired cuisine and a modern fitness centre.
There are hardly any gay hotels in the narrower sense in Atlanta, but choosing the right neighborhood is all the more important, and for queer travelers that almost always means Midtown. The neighborhood around Piedmont Park is Atlanta's gay center, with the highest density of bars, restaurants, and community facilities. If you live here, you can reach the intersection with the rainbow traffic light on Piedmont Avenue and most of the trendy restaurants on foot. Peachtree Street is lined with modern hotels from the larger chains, which see themselves as gay-friendly and are used by both business and leisure visitors.
It is often cheaper and quieter to live a little outside, for example in downtown with its large congress hotels or in the residential districts east of the park. If you want to walk between bars in the evening, a central location in Midtown is the best choice, because then no longer distances by car or ridesharing are necessary. Atlanta is an open city overall. This way, you can feel welcome as a queer guest even in houses without an explicit reference to the scene. Plan earlier if you visit during the weekend of Atlanta Pride in October, as rooms in Midtown fill up quickly and prices go up. The following selection will help you choose the location and house that suits your stay.
