W Atlanta Midtown

Stayed at the W Midtown Atlanta 11/1 - 11/3/2019 as part of a large group in town for a wedding nearby. I booked my room using Marriott points, but of the 15+ rooms that were booked by friends and relatives only two were booked with points. Two people booked suites. From the moment I arrived out front under the portico until the minute I got into the Uber to leave the staff was attentive, always available, helpful and friendly. A Manager was the first person to welcome me when I entered the lobby. The hotel lobby, bar and restaurant area has a great vibe to it, which is hard to label because I would hate to pin it down..... upscale, eclectic, almost a Moroccan feel, but most of all comfortable and inviting. A large stepped area with cushions for sitting leading from the lobby and bar to the restaurant was a favorite gathering spot; reminded us of an indoor version of the Spanish Steps in Rome. Although there are lots of great restaurants/bars within the immediate area of the hotel, a lot of us gathered at the hotel bar after the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Everyone that ate in the restaurant spoke highly of the food; I especially enjoyed the shrimp and grits for breakfast. My wife and I got a suite since we brought my 6 year old daughter and my in-laws to watch her while we were at the wedding events. The suite was amazing and comfortably accommodated the 5 of us with plenty of living and dining area and LARGE TVs. My in-laws and daughter had room service “on us” and each thoroughly enjoyed the food. During the day we were able to walk to many places on the Bride and Groom’s “things to dominate Atlanta” list. The biggest differentiator for this hotel was the staff.... they were sincere in their warm and friendly hospitality. EVERY staff member that we encountered throughout the hotel, no matter the time of day and during our entire stay made us and everyone else we talked to feel like royalty. We had absolutely no problems with our stay whatsoever and the staff jumped at every request. I forgot a tie for the wedding, front desk staff found me the perfect tie to borrow so I didn’t have to make time to shop for one. I am proud to wear a US Army veteran lapel pin on my suite lapel, but lost the clamp that goes on the back..... when I asked the two ladies working the front desk if they could help, they both instinctively reached to their lapel to take the back off of their “W” lapel pin. I travel a lot and like to use my reward points wisely.... to reward my family for the travel involved with my work. The W Midtown Atlanta was the best use of points I can imagine and I get to stay in some of the best hotels in the Country. Other folks that travelled to Atlanta for the wedding could have chosen a cheaper off-brand hotel closer to the wedding venue, but were all very satisfied with the extraordinary value of the W. The bride and groom specifically recommended/chose the W because they live within a mile or two of the hotel and thought it would be the best place to represent Atlanta for out-of-town family and friends. I have stayed in other hotels in Atlanta on business in the past, but when my business travels take me to Atlanta again I will be staying at the W Midtown regardless of where my meetings are in the city. Our stay was perfect Read less

I had stayed at the W Hotel Midtown 5 years ago and so very pleased with the location, atmosphere and service that I wanted to do a repeat this time. I wasn't disappointed at all. The hotel looks great. I think that there had been a renovation, at least to the lobby area since my last visit. The room was great, clean, updated. And I love the walk-in shower. We went down Friday nite too the bar and had a drink and a burger. Excellent. The only problem that I had was getting a luggage cart to take our luggage up to the room....but it was a big weekend and we were checking in at 5 pm. So, it's not surprising that there was a delay trying to secure a cart. Not a big issue. Housekeeping did a bang up job. We got back from the park and the room had been cleaned looked great. Thanks again, W, for a great stay! Read less

I stayed at the W Atlanta for the first time since it's renovation and it was such a treat. When I got in they welcomed me as a Bonvoy Ambassador member and let me know that I'd be upgraded to a Fantastic Suit, however the room wasn't quite ready. They offered me a regular room or a drink voucher to wait about an hour until the room would be ready. I of course took the drink voucher. The drinks were great, so much so that I had drinks later in the evening at the hotel too. The room was even more stunning, with two huge TVs, a great sitting area, dining area, and a lovely bedroom. The bathroom was also quite beautiful and intimate with a lovely shower area. Everything about the room really embodied the W vibe which is what I was looking for as I wanted to show some friends a good time and we were able to do just that. The staff was really great, they helped with just about everything, but the room service was slightly slow...not a big surprise though being that it's not New York City and we kept ordering extra things on room service late at night. They did run out of the champagne we wanted, but then they had another good one for an even better price so that was great! I'd definitely stay here again, I didn't get to try the breakfast, but enjoyed everything else about the hotel and love the suites here, especially for hosting people for drinks and a snack! Read less
