Went with the latter option as city view rooms are priced at a premium.
Having never stayed in Buckhead before, any suggestions on dining options in the area? Any tips or tricks with parking lots in close proximity to the property? Would like to avoid the valet parking onsite, which is now up to $50 per the hotel website.
There is a self-park lot next door to the hotel (on the west side). Not sure what it costs, but suspect it’s cheaper than valet.
There are tons of dining options nearby, it just depends what you’re looking for. Bones (steakhouse) is up Piedmont. St. Cecilia (Italian) is to the NE on Peachtree. Aria (American) is basically across the street. You’ve got Le Colonial (Vietnamese), Le Bilboquet (French), and Gypsy Kitchen (Spanish) in Buckhead Village, a 7-minute walk to the west. Storico Fresco is good as is Yebo Beach Haus (South African). These are all higher end restaurants. Then there’s all sorts of fast casual in basically all directions.
The hotel restaurant, Dirty Rascal, is very good but expensive, usually pretty empty, and has consistently slow service. It’s almost best for room service, which is quick. Tesserae, the rooftop lounge, is a great spot. Good food and drinks in a nice setting.
