Imagine sleek blue and silver rising over Buckhead’s beautiful shopping district. Rooms in auburn hues, complete with deep green chairs and expansive working desks. This is the JW Marriott Hotel Buckhead Atlanta, one of the finest business hotels in the state. Buckhead offers its share of recreations, and the JW somehow manages to be near all of them. A short drive gets you to bike trails, and a few more turns bring you straight to tennis courts, golf links, even horseback riding. Or you can stay at the hotel and power through some laps in the deep, heated indoor pool, finishing with a steam before you wrap yourself in the grandeur of Marriott’s signature plush towels. The hotel is directly connected to Lenox Square mall, one of Atlanta’s best shopping centers. Browse through Neiman Marcus, then pop into Brasserie Le Coze for the peppercorn-encrusted beef. The Phipps Plaza is another nearby shopper’s mecca, offering the latest in unstructured elegance from Giorgio Armani, Theory and Gucci.
