Ellis Hotel

Atlanta


With business-chic rooms warmly dressed in blue and gray hues and ostrich-skin headboards, the Ellis is contemporary and subtly boutique. You can sleep inside a magnetic field in the Wellness Room; or pick a room on the pet-friendly floor, women-only floor or 'Fresh Air' floor (with private access and special cleaning rules for allergy sufferers).

With a better fitness center than most (a real spinning bike, Precor FTS Glide machine) and a location across the street from Peachtree Center MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) station, it has a lot going for it.
