The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead

Overall, I was very pleased with The Whitley. Aside from the fact that Platinum upgrades at this property don't seem to include suites (not a huge deal seeing as I was only there for a night), I felt that recognition was otherwise excellent - especially after experiencing terrible recognition at the Courtyard Emory/Executive Park in a dark room right next to an ice machine. I was surprised that, minutes after I was denied a late checkout at the aforementioned Courtyard (despite it being a supposed guaranteed Platinum benefit - thereby putting a wrench into my plans), I got a notification saying that my room at The Whitley was ready - at 9:30am and that I could come anytime. This literally saved my day, and was a great start. The room (1914) was in good shape, and had a very comfortable bed. AC was a tad weak, but the temperatures outside were very high, so this may be why. The pool is huge, and even if the pool area itself is a bit dated, the water is a great temperature and there are plenty of places to lie down and relax. I also really liked the showers in the changeroom. I also had a very late flight when leaving, and they insisted that I stay in their club lounge until I was ready to leave. I thought this was a nice touch. There were a few minor annoying issues (like the AC) that I mentioned upon checkout, and, much to my surprise, I found extra points in my account after I got home - something that really wasn't necessary, but goes to show they really do value business. Overall, great property, great service. I will definitely consider returning to The Whitley.

What an awesome experience! The Whitley never fails in ambience, vibes, elegance, and service! Shonta, Tsegaye, and Antonio are amazing as always. Great food, libations, location, and people to make it worth the stay, time and investment.

We came for drinks after work and Shonta made our experience A+. I’m from out of town and she greeted us with such grace. Tysenge and Alfonso gave us theee best service. I will choose this location over anywhere else when I come to Atlanta and I travel there at least once a month.

We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Whitley! The food was exceptional, every dish we tried was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The bartenders were incredibly talented, crafting the most delicious cocktails. Shonta provided outstanding service, she was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with great music playing in the background. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a delicious meal and great drinks, I highly recommend Whitley!

I stayed at The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead, and my experience was far from the five-star expectations. Due to a private event, all roads around the hotel were blocked, leaving me stuck in traffic for hours with no prior notice or communication from the hotel. I had to park a kilometer away, walk with luggage, and was still charged for valet parking despite the inconvenience. When I finally reached the hotel, my bags were inspected, which felt invasive and compromised my privacy. I was only able to access my room after 8 PM, by which time all nearby shops were closed. Additionally, the overcrowded bar had just one waitress trying to manage all guests—entirely inadequate preparation for a fully booked hotel. I am now considering legal action due to the lack of organization and the impact this experience had on my first trip to Atlanta. This was truly disappointing.
