It's no surprise that a city with this much personality has such a diverse array of attractions. Foremost among them is one of the worlds largest aquariums, the Georgia Aquarium. Featuring an amazing 500 species from all over the planet, the Georgia Aquarium should be on everyone's shortlist of "must-sees" while in town.
Homegrown favorites the CNN Center and World of Coke offer visitors a chance to get an inside look at two global powerhouses while Centennial Olympic Park is a reminder of how the world came together in Atlanta for the Olympic Games in 1996. The park features the famous Fountain Rings and hosts open air concerts and festivals which are definitely worth checking out if you're lucky enough to be in town for one. Other outdoor favorites include the Botanical Gardens and Piedmont Park.
For shopping enthusiasts, look no further than Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall, where you'll find Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales anchoring a pleasing line up of boutique shops and outstanding dining. For a more unique experience, head over to Virginia Highlands, Atlanta's most popular neighborhood, where all of your senses will be tempted by charming sidewalk cafes, trend-setting boutique stores, eclectic restaurants and lively night spots. Whatever you're seeking, the Glenn Hotel's Manager of Desires can help you plan a power shopper's afternoon of bliss.
If you're more sports minded, you're in the right place. Atlanta has a sport for everyone. You can catch the NHL's Thrashers and the NBA's Hawks at Philips Arena (a short walk from the Glenn Hotel) or head over to Turner Field when MLB's Braves are in town. The Georgia Dome, home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, is the largest cable-supported domed stadium in the world. And did you know that Atlanta Motor Speedway has been part of the NASCAR Cup series since 1960?
There really is something for everyone in Atlanta and the Glenn Hotel's central location puts it all within easy reach. When you're in Atlanta, we'll take care of providing a relaxing place to sleep, but you'll be in charge of finding enough hours in the day to see everything!
