Best for skyline views, large meetings, and an iconic revolving restaurant.

Best for a quieter, polished downtown Marriott stay with accessible facilities and a seasonal outdoor pool.
When The Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta wins: choose the Westin for dramatic 360° city views from the Sun Dial, a high-rise landmark experience, far larger meeting/wedding venues and the convenience of being directly connected to AmericasMart and Peachtree Center MARTA.
When JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown wins: choose the JW for a smaller, more intimate Marriott-branded downtown hotel with a full-service spa, a seasonal outdoor pool, extensive accessibility features and easier pedestrian access to Centennial Olympic Park and nearby attractions.
Bottom line: both are downtown Marriott-family options; pick the Westin for iconic height, event capacity and the revolving restaurant, or pick the JW Marriott for a polished, accessible, mid-sized hotel experience closer to park attractions.
