Find out where you will be doing most of your
business and stay in the most convenient facility. Business travelers should do their homework before visiting Atlanta. For instance, Coca-Cola and Georgia-Pacific are located downtown while the Atlanta headquarters of United Parcel Service is nowhere near downtown Atlanta.
Most conventions are held in meeting and banquet rooms located at the big hotels or in nearby facilities, such as the Georgia World Congress Center or Georgia Dome.
If you are flying and
pressed for time, staying around the airport will shortstop a lot of
headaches even if you have to make trips into the city. Unless you are
visiting a single location and can stay near that business, downtown will
probably offer the best overall options.
