The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead

Dirty towels on the floor no shower curtain…. it was horrible in our first room…….BUT but we got a suite so pretty good and we got complimentary breakfast so so probably a 3 1/2 four atmosphere was awesome Nice people at front desk overall recommended if you don’t get the room I got

First off, the staff here is absolutely outstanding. Polite, helpful, courteous and so very welcoming. Truly all of them are amazing. Now the bad, the room walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from doors slamming shut and people going to the bathroom…it’s not a well insulated hotel or built well. Shower door won’t even close all the way as water trickles out the door onto the floor. AC units are absolutely disgusting. The vents have dust and mold in them I cut my off at night and rather sleep hot than breath the air. Quality of food…(bfast only) the bacon is advertised as Apple smoked but it’s cheap package for the money you pay and for a $50 bfast it wasn’t Luxury Collection level. Workout room, looked great from photos but it’s so outdated. The treadmills are from the 90s I think. The machines were meh. The equipment and cleanliness of the area wasn’t great. Again, the staff, outstanding…the property (more so the guest rooms) not so much for a Luxury Collection.

I was not impressed with The Whitley and doubt I'll return. While it used to be a Ritz (one of the first in their chain), it was rebranded a few years ago. On the plus side, I will say the lobby area is very nice and the location is central in Buckhead. Beyond that, I wasn't too impressed. The hotel rooms are dated and felt like an average Marriott (nothing special or luxury about them). For a slightly lower rate you could go one block away and stay at the JW Marriott which is a much nicer property.

This hotel is fabulous and decadent and has a great staff. Very warm and welcoming. They provide us state-of-the-art accommodation and made us feel very welcome. Went above and beyond in terms of arranging us a bedroom and in terms of arranging the meetings that were occurring. This hotel is a gold standard

My family and friends had the most amazing time at the Mother’s Day Brunch at The Whitley. I have come every year for 3 years and they always out do themselves. The food, the atmosphere, the service and the only place in Atlanta on Mother’s Day that is not over crowded. I met Shonta who greeted my family and made us feel extra special. I will definitely be bringing my Husband for Father’s Day.
