GayMapper brings you information about gay bars and cruising bars in the city.
On the other hand, it’s also understandable to start getting pictures of large bills and four-figure numbers.
And all of this is without mentioning the River’s Edge’s rates, which are amazingly affordable, and leave you, not all that far away from the center of Atlanta and everything on the more shiny and modern side that the city’s urban heart has to offer.
Long story short – if you’re okay with staying in a cabin or if you’re down for a bit of roughing it or can bring a camper, a tent, or an RV along on your journey, then this is the perfect place for you as a queer traveler looking for gay accommodation in Atlanta.
The Atlanta BeltLine connects neighborhoods with walking trails, murals, and public sculptures—great for urban exploration. All the five-star hallmarks are there, except the prices!
Feeling a bit lost while planning your journey to Atlanta?
Like the W hotels coming up later in this list, the Hyatt name is very strongly associated with exquisite accommodation and regal services. Both of these points mean that guests can stay in the Starling Atlanta with zero worries about both the money in their pocket and the way they’re going to be treated during their holiday, and if that doesn’t sound like a great start to describing a hotel, then what is?
Not only does the Starling Atlanta possess a truly impressive spa facility that has its marker on the map and operates almost as a separate business while remaining complimentary for guests, but it also has a rooftop pool and an in-house restaurant and bar pair to serve to all of your culinary and drink needs.
This is an advantage that both the Loews Hotel and its guests fully understand and take advantage of, and the hotel’s clean and happy staff attitude is a driving factor in keeping this location both in good business and in good standing with former guests.

GayMapper brings you a curated selection of accommodation gay destinations around the world, which are in preferred locations and are welcoming to LGBTQ+ travellers.
This particular location, however, isn’t as expensive as one might think and instead falls into the place of being one of the most affordable locations on this list. The city has many green spaces compared to its peers, which offers much-needed relief for those who aren’t fans of spending large amounts of time without touching some grass.
While the city’s Downtown area – like many Downtown areas in other cities – has more than enough queer bars, clubs, and gay-influenced locations to offer than a visitor could need, not everyone comes to a city purely to dig their teeth into the night scene, and thus it is equally important to mention Atlanta’s other strong LGBTQ+ hotspot – a neighborhood known as Midtown.
Hyatt on a budget and with all of the bells and whistles too!
Calling a modest three stars its own, but regardless of possessing a high-quality pool area and free breakfasts for all guests, the Hyatt Place Buckhead borders right up against some of the best laid-back strolling regions of the city, as well as some popular attractions that guests of other hotels would have to travel quite a while to arrive at.
Whether you’re seeking history, relaxation, or nightlife, Atlanta delivers a soulful escape that feels modern, diverse, and proud.

Atlanta!
Most of them have been listed as accommodating, friendly, and unjudgmental to, for, and by queer people in general, as well as being highly rated in general.
So, if that’s settled in and your enthusiasm to learn about the city is planted and growing, let’s move on and discover the top eight gay-friendly hotels that the colorful, diverse city of Atlanta has to offer!
In this article we will cover...
There is no better location to serve as the beginning to this list of wonderful gay hotels and places of accommodation than the Four Seasons Atlanta – a five-star luxury suite complex situated in an impressive, stately tower above the center of the city and its lively atmosphere.
So, pack your rainbow flag, and get ready to experience the ultimate gay-friendly holiday in Atlanta.
We know that, and therefore we’d like to note that the hotels on this list follow the same logic. The rate pressure in the area is quite impressive, so it must be understood that it is a rare opportunity to see such low prices in such a respectable location, which makes the Artmore Hotel even more enticing!
Amenities and black-on-white statistics wise, the Artmore has it all – excellent access to commonly-visited attractions and the center of Atlanta’s nightlife, direct connection to the city’s public transport system and the airports for travelers who come from out of the state or country, and a healthy selection of both in-house and surrounding eateries and bars to grab a bite at or hang out in.
Not only does Atlanta deserve more than its share of tourist attention thanks to its classic Downtown areas and historic city center, but it is also home to a wide and wonderful range of queer-friendly locations, nightlife hotspots, and gay hotels.
Atlanta is a culture, exploration, and city life heaven, combining all the best aspects of eastern-US cities like New York and Chicago into a mix that hits just right and is somehow different than anything visitors to those other cities will have experienced through their travels.
For a taste of local flavor, head to Ponce City Market or grab brunch at a gay-owned café.

Access in and out of the suburbs surrounding Hyatt Place is easy enough, thanks to the highway that runs directly through the center of the area, and the general hustle and bustle are strong enough to mean that there are enough eateries, takeaway restaurants and bars for guests to thoroughly enjoy themselves without having to wander deeper into the city.
The Hyatt Place’s rooms are also highly praised, with each suite possessing a chic sense of style and immaculate maintenance that is regularly kept up to Hyatt standards by the laundry and room service-wielding staff.
That is especially true for this LGBTQ+ friendly four-start tower situated in the center of Atlanta’s main Downtown area, with reviews hailing the W Atlanta as one of the best as well as one of the most gay-accepting non-specifically queer-targeted hotels they have ever stayed at.
W Hotels are always a little pricey, and as such, this entry on this list sits in the higher rate category, but if you’ve got the wallet to afford even a few nights here, those are sure to be days that you will remember for the rest of your life.
You won’t find The River’s Edge on Google, and many of the functions of checking in and out and booking spaces operate through direct contact and word of mouth, but all of these things deepen the hands-on experience.
This location isn’t for everyone, but it is a real undiscovered gem.
