Atlanta Georgia The Southern Way To Have A Good Time by K Watkins

For many years people just used Atlanta as a holdover on their way to Florida, but that's not the case anymore. Atlanta now can make a case for being one destination travelers will want to consider for their next vacation.

Atlanta Hotels

Hotels are one of, if not the most important thing that vacationers look for when they want to take a trip. Atlanta definitely has some of the best hotels around. Let's take a look at some of the more popular hotels that will make your stay in Atlanta one to remember.

Intercontinental Hotels Group which is also based in Atlanta is one of the major players in the Hotel industry in Georgia. This hotel has over 300 rooms and 24 suites, but the one thing I love about this hotel is twice daily housekeeping. This is one service everyone should have. It also boasts a fitness center, spa and outside swimming pool, plus a 24 hour business center. It has everything you will ever need on your vacation and more.

My personal favorite of all the hotels are the Ritz Carlton Hotels which Atlanta has two of them. If your budget is the sky then these two hotels is where you need to stay. With a ton of amenities they will pamper you and your stay will be unforgettable. Some of the features I love is 24 hour secretarial services, high speed Internet service spacious rooms. It's where your treated like a king. If you don't want to spend big money check out our cheap Atlanta hotel rooms section.

Things To Do In Atlanta

Now don't think Atlanta has nothing to do, because there is so much to do. It would take you a whole year to do everything. Let's highlight some of my favorites. If your in Atlanta especially in the fall and winter you will want to catch Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons battling for an NFC championship. The Georgia Dome is a great place to watch a game and they even have activities for the kids before the game. The kids can get players autographs, do pass punt and catch drills etc. They even have live bands for the grown ups while the kids are playing.

Food abounds everywhere and almost any kind of food your looking for can be found there. If your not real busy stop by CNN center and see what Atlanta's native son Ted Turner has built. The food court in the CNN center has almost any kind of food there is including my favorite sports bar Jock and Jill's

Many museums dot the cities landscape and there is something in them for young and old. You can visit the Margaret Mitchell house and museum that's a popular place. The world of Coke-a-cola down in  five points is a great tour that the kids will love.

Shopping In Atlanta

Atlanta has some of the best stores in Underground Atlanta. That's right the stores are underground and the only way I can explain it is you have to see it for yourself. After a tough day of window shopping stop by Johnny Rockets for a cheeseburger and shake.

As you can see Atlanta has everything you could want from a vacation. Some people just love walking down Peachtree Street seeing all the sites. No matter what Atlanta will show you a great time.
