We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta is at the center of it all. And while a lot of that has to do with the luxury property’s downtown location, the feeling of having everything at your reach comes from within the 444-room hotel, too.

For those who appreciate high-end touches, the lobby’s light marble flooring, massive chandelier and modern wingback armchairs will be appealing. If you prefer a more relaxed ambience, there’s color-popping artwork and a funky bar, Lumen, elsewhere in the hotel.

The rooms lean more toward clean lines and creamy hues, while subtly elegant bathrooms come with vessel sinks.

AG, the warm, vintage-style steakhouse on the second floor, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Locals and visitors flock to the place for its tasty take on Southern cuisine (try the rib-eye) and because it’s so close to everything. The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta is at the center of it all.
