Earlier, I wrote about being stuck in the Atlanta airport and suggested that instead of trying to rush through the airport you instead spend the night and enjoy the city. But where to stay? You might consider The Glenn Hotel.
Sure, you could stay at the standard chain hotels but they will look the same as the ones in your own hometown and all you will really get is a decent bed (maybe). The Glenn Hotel is different. It is designed to be a "boutique" hotel and is not like any chain hotel that you ever stayed in.
The building was supposedly converted from an office building and it shows a little but that isn’t a bad thing since it allows a departure from the chain concept. The name of the building and the hotel date back to a former mayor of Atlanta in the early 1900s. The lobby is very contemporary and lends a sense of fun to your stay.
The rooms offer WiFi and phones just like you would expect. The design and colors are very modern and will definitely not remind you of your favorite Hampton Inn. If you are staying with a partner, you may be a little surprised at the slightly opaque window in the shower!
This is not a family friendly hotel. While there is nothing that is R rated, there are several allusions to sexual situations that your older children may ask you about (or maybe explain to you). Even still, for its adult orientation one would think that it would have a larger workout room. During peak times, you may experience a wait for your favorite machine.
The bar on the roof is the highlight of the hotel. If the weather is decent, you should enjoy your favorite beverage (or two) on the roof and enjoy the beautiful view of downtown Atlanta.
