Some travelers don’t place much stock in ratings systems, but when a hotel bar gets four stars from AAA every year for 16 consecutive years, you have to assume the management knows what they’re doing. Part of it may be the sound shielding – with triple-paned windows and generous insulation, you may forget you’re anywhere near an airport. All the better to sleep in Hilton’s famed Serenity Bed, a triumph of modern indulgence. If you want to do the Hilton Atlanta Airport right, try the Executive Level experience. A classic hotel within a hotel, this tier offers a speedy and resourceful concierge and total privacy. You even get your own entrance. Of course, the rooms are stunning – butter and mahogany upholstery, massive windows and plenty of space to work and play. The food beckons throughout the day and night, especially at Hilton Atlanta Airport’s renowned Andiamo. Perfect Italian cuisine meets dazzling views as professionals and their families cozy up to eclectic pastas featuring panoply of local ingredients. When it’s time to go, grab a complimentary shuttle to the airport or Marta – regular as clockwork.
