The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead

I have been lodging at the Whitley repeatedly now for the same reason....the hospitality! I had my elopement wedding there and more recently my birthday brunch at the Trade root restaurant! For starters, the consistent elegance of the lobby, the aroma and the smiles from the bellman to the front desk continues to be a reason to return for my reprieve here after dealing with the stress of the outside world. It is a true oasis! We were welcomed and surprised with lovely wine and hors d'oeuvres in our room because they knew It was my birthday. Shonta, manager at Trade root as well as her amazing staff are none like any other in helping plan your exquisite cozy event. As always, we had a great time. The rooms are clean, well stocked with high end amenities as well asplush beddings and pillows. I had forgotten my thank you cards for my event and they gladly provided me with replacements. What sets the Whitley apart always, is the continued hospitality which nows seems to be a lost act even at 5 star hotels. Would be returning!

We truly appreciate Marriott and have had such a positive experience during our time here. With the recent fires in LA and the unexpected Georgia snowstorm, we chose to extend our stay in Atlanta. The Whitley went above and beyond by upgrading us to a lovely suite on the 15th floor, which really brightened our spirits. The breakfast buffet was beautifully arranged, and I must say, the grits were simply delightful—reminded me of my time living in Atlanta. What touched us the most, however, was the kindness of the staff. They took the time to share their favorite Marriott properties for vacations, which felt so genuine and warm during such a trying time. It’s heartening to see how dedicated the restaurant staff were, working tirelessly through the storm while maintaining such graciousness. We are truly grateful for their efforts in lifting our spirits during this challenging period. Thank you so much for making our experience memorable and uplifting.

If the Whitley Hotel at Christmas and New Years is any indication of what’s to come in 2025, I cannot wait to experience it. From the festive decor and holiday libations, to the prime location and friendly staff, no stone was left unturned. Thank you Shonta Purnell Walker for making my stay positively memorable as always. Great job Everyone! P.S. The NYE Celebration was one for the books, and I will be back next year!

We had a great experience at the Whitely. The restaurant was open late until 10 which helped as we made it in around 8 and didn’t have to worry about the restaurant being closed. The hotel staff were very helpful and extremely friendly. We would definitely stay at this establishment again.

Our first visit to The Whitley was a few days ago and it was outstanding. I had stayed at this property many times when it was the Ritz Carlton, but due to business and geography changes had not visited The Whitley until this weekend. Every member of the staff that we encountered was gracious, well-trained, and welcoming. The decor in both the public spaces and guest rooms was warm and inviting. We have stayed in numerous high end hotels in Atlanta and its suburbs, but The Whitley is our new favorite. We will be back!
