Located in the Midtown Piedmont district of Atlanta, Ga., in Georgia Tech's Technology Square and 15 minutes from Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center claims to be Atlanta's most sophisticated and technologically advanced hotel.

The revitalized area, located between downtown Atlanta and Buckhead, is home to restored Victorian and Craftsman style bungalows, trendy restaurants, top nightspots, antique stores and major art institutions.

The Georgia Tech Hotel, with 252 guestrooms in an eight story, red brick building, features high tech amenities including wireless Internet access, as well as data ports for dial up Internet access, exhibit space, meeting facilities, restaurant and bar, and business services.

Although contemporary and businesslike in its décor, the hotel exudes a work and relax ambience with a two story, light filled lobby featuring various seating areas and a 1920s Ford roadster convertible displaying Georgia Tech's colors and logo.

A third floor sky lighted pavilion houses a three lane lap pool and spa tub; for a daily fee, hotel guests may use the Georgia Tech Student Athletic Complex, which contains basketball and racquetball courts and a large fitness center. Trolleys provide complimentary transportation.

Pastel colors adorning rich mahogany and cherry furnishings warm the hotel's guestrooms, which come complete with work desks, swivel chairs, task lighting, high speed wireless and wired Internet access, data ports for dial up Internet access, and deluxe coffeemakers.

After a day at a busy conference, both academic and business guests can enjoy the luxuries of 12 inch plush top mattresses and comforters, flat screen 27 inch televisions, and in the bathrooms, fine granite vanities and tile flooring.

Deluxe guestrooms also offer bathrobes, and upholstered armchairs for reading and relaxation.
