"Busy all day with guests—and locals—heading to and from the spa, restaurants, and bar, this hotel lets you hang by the Pool Piazza, get a tension-reducing treatment at the Remède Spa, grab one of their “famous Bloody Marys” at the St. Regis Bar, arguably the most popular hotel bar in Atlanta, and even watch the hotel sommelier open a bottle of champagne by saber (a nightly tradition that traces its roots to Napoleon and was ritualized some years ago at the St. Regis New York). The on-site restaurant, Atlas, serves bold American cuisine in a room with original works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Chagall, and Matisse (from owner Joe Lewis’s private collection), and it was one of only a handful of restaurants to receive one Michelin star—so it books up quickly." - Lia Picard, Allison Weiss Entrekin
