DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlanta North Druid Hills/Emory Area

With 209 rooms behind a curved façade that towers over an outdoor pool, this North Druid Hills hotel recently underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation for an updated appeal and modern look. It has small and large meeting spaces (including a 972-square-foot room for conferences), mini-fridges and microwaves in all rooms, king rooms with sofa beds and a restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner, although you’re close enough to Buford Highway that you can catch a ride to some of Atlanta’s best and most authentic multicultural cuisine.
