Hotels: Atlanta is a popular convention destination, so unlike most cities, accommodation is often cheaper at weekends. There is no shortage of hotels, and visitors shouldn't have any problems finding accommodation to suit their budget. As a rule, the further away from the city centre, the cheaper the room. For those on a tight budget, the Atlanta Youth Hostel is an ideal option, while those looking to splash some cash and stay in luxury may wish to consider the Glenn Hotel or the Georgian Terrace.
