The St. Regis Atlanta

The St. Regis Atlanta is the city’s undisputed luxury leader—elegant, expansive, and attended by butlers who press your clothes and bring you coffee like it’s a privilege (because it is). Even standard rooms are large, well-appointed, and come with a bathroom that feels like a spa ad. Bonvoy elites will appreciate being treated like actual elites: you can take your breakfast wherever you like—in the restaurant or your robe. Butlers provide coffee or tea on the house, but beware: iced drinks aren’t included and will cost you upwards of $21, which feels more like Santa Barbara than Buckhead. The bar is stunning and vast but, curiously, as chilly in ambiance as it is in climate. The house car is a standout—beautifully kept, and piloted by a driver who’s basically a rolling TED Talk on Atlanta. The spa is expansive and well-run, with RFID wristbands unlocking lockers like you’re entering a Bond villain’s lair. Staff circulate in the relaxation areas with offers of the signature spa drink and delicate macaroons—small but appreciated touches. Just note: while the amenities are polished, the overall mood leans a bit austere rather than indulgent. The location is great for shopping and dining, though the grandeur does feel mildly dislocated when you’re gazing out at Whole Foods. Staff are generally kind and helpful, but the hotel—while undeniably beautiful—lacks some of the intuitive, experienced service you’d find at other St. Regis outposts. Still, it’s the most luxurious option in Atlanta. Just be ready to trade a little warmth for a lot of wow.

Comfortable hotel, friendly staff. A wholefoods directly across the road for any bits and pieces you need, and nice neighbourhood location. It is not really near anything, but ubers are plentiful and easy to get. I did not use the pool area but it looked fine. I parked next door in the One Buckhead Plaza carpark rather than pay for valet parking (the valets park in the same place anyway). Just drive up past the hotel on the right hand side, turn left into the carpark where it says "visitors" and use your credit card to swipe in. Park anywhere from the second floor upwards. When exiting, just use the same credit card at the turnstile to exit. Costs $24 per day so way cheaper. I stayed two days and it was a simple $48 on exit. There is an elevator in the carpark and a convenient direct and very short route to walk from level 3 of the carpark directly to the side entrance of the hotel on level 4 by the bar. If you're checking in it is one floor down in the elevator to the reception.

The spa was truly the highlight of my stay at the St. Regis Atlanta. I had the best massage by David—hands down, the most incredible massage I’ve ever experienced. I rarely leave reviews, but this one is a must! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was pure relaxation, and David’s expertise made all the difference. If you’re looking for an exceptional massage that will leave you feeling completely renewed, do yourself a favor and book with David. You won’t regret it!

We stayed one night during a flight layover, and enjoyed walking the nearby Buckhead shopping area. Excellent team and nice updated rooms with all the amenities you would expect in a luxury property. Breakfast room service was very good. Be careful valet parking is not inexpensive!

I had an excellent stay! Incredible room and staff accommodate all my requests! Grateful for that. Fairly light sleeper and they were able to accommodate me having a quiet view and a room that felt like pure bliss. Not to mention the bathtub was amazing.
