What you get
The Ritz Carlton Atlanta lists the full five star set: 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, concierge, currency exchange, luggage storage, lifts and wheelchair access. Rooms come with air conditioning, bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer, minibar, safe, desk, iron and board, TV, DVD, iPod dock, coffee, water and toiletries. There is a restaurant, bars, a lounge, room service, breakfast in room, a fitness centre and a spa. Business travellers get a business center, copy service, internet access, laundry, dry cleaning and housekeeping. Banquet space covers events. Parking is listed. The list is thin on nothing, though special diets, cots and sofa beds are the only family or dietary notes.
For someone staying at The Ritz Carlton Atlanta, that adds up to a hotel that handles the whole trip: you eat, meet, exercise and sleep in one building, and the staff cover the details. The five star rating is the point, so this suits people who want a full service stay in Downtown and are willing to pay for it. It does not suit anyone hunting the cheapest bed in metro Atlanta, and it does not suit a holiday built around the trail, which is not on the doorstep.

Where it puts you
You are staying Downtown, inside the loop, where the train at Five Points puts every line in the city within reach. That is the point of the location: you can move around Atlanta without a car, and the rest of the trip is built on that. The site's own line on the neighbourhood is blunt about the trade: the cheapest walk to a train in the city, with convention traffic setting the price, so a Tuesday in January is a different hotel than a Tuesday in October.
The BeltLine trail is also here, and the 0.8 mi to trail is the figure to keep in mind if you plan to walk or run it. This suits anyone whose trip runs on transit and convention schedules. It does not suit a holiday built around quiet streets and long, slow mornings.
Booking it
Book this one early if your dates are fixed, because a five star hotel in the middle of Downtown fills up for conventions and game weekends. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. We have not stayed here; the neighbourhood copy is our own.
