Heading to Georgia‘s capital city? Whether you come to shop or explore big sights like World of Coca-Cola or CNN Center, there are a wealth of great hotels packed with amenities. Not all the great pools are outdoors—after all, luxurious indoor pools can be enjoyed year-round, or paired with a spa day. Here are the best hotel pools in Atlanta.
Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead (3376 Peachtree Rd NE; 404-995-7500) Buckhead
Located in Buckhead, nicknamed the Beverly Hills of the South, this former Mandarin-Oriental stands 42 stories high. It appeals to “well-heeled travelers in search of a sophisticated respite,” according to Condé Nast Traveler. Highlights include “a formal English garden in the back courtyard, exceptional staff, and a two-story spa.” The large dramatic indoor pool, with giant windows and sleek, contemporary ambience, is close to the spa, writes one Google reviewer. “While we were at the indoor pool, lunch was served to us. The pool was empty so it was basically like a private spa lunch!” >> Book this hotel for less
The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Buckhead (3434 Peachtree Rd NE; 404-237-2700) Buckhead
Travel +Leisure calls this 507-room hotel “one of Buckhead’s most charming properties, [which] blends traditional southern grandeur with cosmopolitan style.” Its indoor saline pool has a skylight and a sundeck, giving it year-round appeal. “The location of the hotel is perfect, next to both major Buckhead malls, ” says a Tripadvisor user. “The indoor pool is just what any family or couple would need. The exercise room is perhaps my favorite in any hotel in Georgia.” >> Book this hotel for less
St. Regis Atlanta (Eighty-Eight, W Paces Ferry Rd NW; 404-563-7900) Peachtree Heights West
One expects luxury from a St. Regis hotel, and this 151-room Atlanta branch delivers—especially at its 40,000-square foot Pool Piazza. Travel+Leisure calls the “glimmering” pool area “the star of the show, with chic cabanas and poolside drink service.” One Tripadvisor user found it easy-access, too: “We decided to go down to the pool until checkout time,” they write. “We found two lounging chairs with the towels all set up, and we had a few drinks before we had to leave.” >> Book this hotel for less
Four Seasons Atlanta (75 14th St NE; 404-881-9898) Midtown
This elegant hotel is near Peachtree St., the High Museum of Art, and Piedmont Park. It does not have an outdoor pool—but, according to Fodor’s, “their glamorous indoor pool gives all others in Atlanta a run for their money …surrounded by sleek white marble, Neoclassical-inspired sculptures, cushioned lounge areas, oversized windows and sets of French doors that lead to the sun terrace.” The pool area was “amazing,” confirms a Google reviewer, adding that they had a “delicious breakfast accompanied by great service.” >> Book this hotel for less
JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown (45 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW; 404-582-5800) Downtown
“The wow factor hits you as soon as you enter the soaring lobby” says Condé Nast Traveler about this centrally located, 237-room property and “the trendy-meets-earthy design and city-center energy continues all the way up to the rooftop pool, complete with a zero-edge pool and skyline views.” On Tripadvisor, one user complains that “the pool is more of plunge pool since it’s only one meter deep,” but others found it to be “family friendly” and “a good size with great view.” The hotel is near the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium and Centennial Olympic Park. >> Book this hotel for less
