City Break Atlanta

Olympics host city, burning backdrop to Gone with the Wind, centre of hip-hop music and the blues, Atlanta is a city break destination like no other.

Evidence of the city's past at the heart of the deep south is still in evidence in some parts of Atlanta, but the city is by and large progressive and forward-looking, its modern centre home to global companies such as CNN and Coca-Cola, both of whom have areas open to the public.

As you would expect for such a vibrant and modern urban centre, Atlanta is a paradise for shoppers, with malls, department stores (including the famous Macy's and Bloomingdales) and designer outlets to keep even the most enthusiastic bargain-hunters occupied.

One of the best things about Atlanta is its multiculturalism, with none other than Martin Luther King Jr born in the city. The city's vibrant hip-hop scene is renowned around the world, while a night out at one of its many blues bars can be a great way to spend an evening, before heading off to one of Atlanta's many lively clubs for a night out big city-style.

The city has a number of don't-miss sights to see on a city break, including Zoo Atlanta and the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum where Gone with the Wind was written, and when you get tired you can duck into one of its many cafes and bars serving hearty southern food.

There is a wide range of high quality hotels available in Atlanta and we have chosen some of the best centrally-located ones to ensure you get the most from your city break.
