Best for style-conscious travelers who prioritize the Nobu restaurant brand, Buckhead shopping, and a boutique luxury vibe.
When The Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta wins: choose the Westin if you need immediate access to downtown Atlanta attractions, convention and ballroom capacity, a landmark revolving Sun Dial restaurant with 360° views, or a large selection of room types across a 73-story tower.
When Nobu Hotel Atlanta wins: choose Nobu if you prefer Buckhead’s shopping and restaurant scene, want a contemporary lifestyle hotel with Nobu Restaurant on-site, or prefer a smaller property with design-forward public spaces and a resort-style outdoor pool.
