It’s rare that I get to stay at hotels in Atlanta since I live here, so when I had the chance to stay at The Westin Buckhead Atlanta‘s refurbished rooms, I knew I couldn’t turn it down. The Westin is one of a dozen luxury properties in the city’s Buckhead neighborhood, within walking distance from Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza, home to the city’s best shopping. Many nearby shops and boutiques offer discounts for showing your room key.
Buckhead is well located for visitors to the city, as you can access the attractions downtown on MARTA via the Buckhead Station, but astay outside of the melee. It’s a popular choice for its proximity to the Peachtree Road Race and the Fourth of July fireworks, as well as in-town races and events.
Rooms at the Westin Buckhead Hotel
After work, I checked into my king bedroom with views of the Buckhead skyline. I took a few minutes to put on my Heavenly robe and sink into the Heavenly bedding. The best thing about this particular Westin property is the many windows, allowing you to enjoy natural light, but blackout curtains cover them when it’s time for bed.
The rooms are decorated in sleek, modern, and neutral furnishings. The headboard has accent lights so you don’t disturb your partner if you want to stay up to read. The flat-screen television has premium and local channels.
Flat Screen TV Bathroom Presidential Suite
The desk and loveseat make you feel like you’re in an apartment rather than a hotel. WiFi is available with your stay and upgraded speeds are available for a fee. The bathrooms are large with waterfall showerheads, luxury toiletries, Heavenly towels, and plenty of light for getting ready.
The renovated presidential suite is the ultimate splurge, with a patio overlooking Buckhead, a fireplace, Jacuzzi style tub, and in-room sauna. If you’re not ready to drop that much dough, try one of the executive-level rooms, which provide access to the executive lounge, offering newspapers, snacks, and breakfast.
Amenities at the Westin Buckhead Hotel
Fitness Center Indoor Pool
Westin believes in promoting health and wellness during your stay, so guests have 24-hour access to the fitness studio, which includes ellipticals, treadmills, and weights. There’s also a pool and sauna. The desk has a map of nearby running paths.
I forgot my shoes, so I got to test out the New Balance Gear Lending program I first found out about in Charlotte. Just be sure to ask when you check in and leave the shoes and clothes in your room when you leave.
The Westin Buckhead is a popular hotel for conferences and groups and their new Tangent space is great for co-working.

Guests are spoiled for dining choices during their stay. The Westin has an in-house coffee shop and 24-hour in-room dining. It’s also home to an outpost of the award-winning Palm Restaurant, known for its steaks and the caricatures of celebrities that have dined there, just like at the original in New York City .
Nearby you can dine at St. Cecilia, Holeman & Finch Public House, Restaurant Eugene, or any of the restaurants and eateries at Phipps or Lenox. The Buckhead Atlanta complex also has shopping and dining, including the city’s first Shake Shack.

My stay was hosted by the Westin Buckhead Atlanta Hotel and Liz Lapidus Public Relations, but all opinions are my own.
