Staying downtown versus near the airport
Downtown Atlanta hotels near Five Points put you inside the city rather than in the airport corridor. You get walkable access to Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium district, plus a direct MARTA ride to Hartsfield-Jackson.
Downtown hotels usually cost more per night than airport-adjacent properties, and you add about 25 minutes of transit time versus stepping off a hotel shuttle. If you have a morning flight and no interest in the city, an airport hotel makes more sense. We cover those on our page for hotels near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.
For anyone attending events at State Farm Arena, the Georgia World Congress Center, or Georgia Tech, a Five Points-adjacent hotel removes the need for a car.
