🟢 Open 24 hours

Sleek, European-inspired and refreshingly no-fuss, this modern Marriott sits right on Andrew Young International Blvd — an easy stroll to Centennial Olympic Park, SkyView Atlanta, and the Georgia Aquarium. Great pick for families who want clean, uncluttered rooms and a walk-everywhere downtown home base.

Expect Aloft's playful loft-style rooms, an outdoor pool, and a lively lobby bar rather than white-glove formality.
