It’s summertime in the South, and what could be a better weekend escape than a trip to Atlanta, a city that’s bursting with energy, culture, and southern charm.

Leave behind the fast-paced nature of Nashville for a few days and take the time to slow down in Atlanta, truly seizing the opportunity to appreciate their cuisine, their artwork, and local businesses.

For a weekend trip that balances relaxation with easy access to the city’s best attractions, choosing the right hotel makes all the difference, and InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta checks every box. 

Located in an upscale location and pristine presence in the upscale neighborhood of Buckhead, this affluent area is known for Atlanta’s charming southern mansions, award-winning restaurants, some of the city's best shopping, and its third-largest business district. InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta is only a short distance away from the city’s top landmarks, including the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Phipps Plaza, Centennial Olympic Park, Truist Park, and The World of Coca-Cola.

“We’ve created a space that feels both comfortable and elevated,” InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta Director of Marketing Kyra Oliver says. “Our team goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel cared for, and with our recent renovations, every space—from the lobby to the rooms to the spa—feels fresh, modern, and intentional. It’s the kind of place where you can celebrate, unwind, or just enjoy the moment.”

Intercontinental Buckhead Atlanta is named #1 hotel in the South by Conde Nast, #1 hotel in Buckhead, #2 in Atlanta, and #3 hotel in Georgia by U.S. News & World Report.

While Atlanta has no shortage of things to do during a weekend getaway, InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta provides an array of luxurious amenities that you can effortlessly relax and unwind without ever leaving the hotel. The hotel is home to The Americano,  an Italian-American culinary hotspot led by two-time James Beard Award-winning chef, Food Network personality, and restaurateur, Chef Scott Conant, and Spa InterContinental, which offers an oasis for guests seeking innovative treatments as well as a saltwater pool with new cabanas.

“Whether you're visiting from out of town or you’re a local looking for something special, we’ve created experiences that really speak to connection,” Kyra says. “Our goal is for guests to leave feeling like they’ve been seen and taken care of. That’s what we do best here at InterContinental Buckhead.”
