Mandarin Oriental Hotel

The comfortable walking distance to Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza is a key draw to the big-spending, powerful guests who choose the Mandarin Oriental. Rooms range from around $530 to over $6,000 for the three-person Mandarin Suite (you’ll need to contact the hotel for rates on the Family Room), and you’ll have an idea why with rare-air views of the Buckhead skyline and panoramic Atlanta-at-large, which blend into the residential design—a hybrid of plush carpeting, sparkling marble, polished wood and ornate floral curtains. Hit one of the 13 spa rooms for single customers or the marble bath and twin massage beds in the couple’s suite, then take laps in the 60-foot indoor pool before heading downstairs to enjoy equally high-grade steaks and seafood at Del Frisco’s Grille. It’s Buckhead, after all.
