Your room is right above the conference--Wake up, take an elevator, and you’re at your sessions. No rushing. No commuting. No waiting on shuttles. Maximum convenience.
Networking happens everywhere. Because so many attendees stay on site, connections happen naturally in the lobby bar, at breakfast, by the elevators, in the book exhibit, and in the atrium lounges.
Dining options on-site cover a range of styles: an upscale steak/seafood restaurant, a sports bar with local craft brews, a lobby lounge/bar, and Starbucks in the lobby. A short indoor walk will get you to the Peachtree Center Hub, with more than 35 restaurants and shops (https://www.peachtreecenter.com/).
Safety and convenience--Guests don’t have to walk around the city late at night or find their way back to an off-site hotel. Everything (sessions, food, social events, rooms) is under one secure roof.
Easy travel connections--the Marriott Marquis boasts a direct (indoor) connection to the MARTA “Peachtree Center” station, making access to the airport and citywide transit easier (and inexpensive!).
On-site amenities include a luxury spa, indoor/outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center — meaning you have ways to unwind and recharge outside of sessions.
The iconic atrium is worth the trip alone. The hotel’s dramatic 47-story atrium — famously featured in movies — creates a memorable, Instagram-worthy experience. It’s one of the most recognizable hotel interiors in the country.
Easy access to Atlanta highlights. From the hotel, guests can walk to the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the College Football Hall of Fame, Centennial Olympic Park and dozens of restaurants and bars.
Comfortable, modern guest rooms. Guests get plush beds, floor-to-ceiling windows with great city views, strong WiFi and spacious bathrooms. It’s an easy place to rest and recharge after busy days. We negotiated the rates several years ago, so the rates are excellent for downtown Atlanta.
Late-night and early-morning friendly. Conference days start early and end late. If you’re onsite you can easily slip back to your room to recharge; you can change clothes between session; you can grab something quick to eat; you can rest during downtime. This flexibility improves the whole experience.
Everything you need is indoors. For guests who prefer convenience: Restaurants, coffee shops, meetings rooms, pools, and fitness center are all inside the same building. No weather, no traffic, no transportation needed.
