Atlanta has plenty of large luxury hotels, some in stunning historic buildings, but few have the cozy intimacy and charm of this Midtown boutique hotel.

If you’re trying to avoid the sometimes impersonal pomp of a big hotel without sacrificing on luxury, Stonehurst Place is a a good opportunity to enjoy genuine southern hospitality.

We’d book in advance, as their seven rooms are in high demand and can fill up quickly.

One thing we really love is the commitment to creating a culturally and ecologically conscious place to stay.

On the National Register of Historic Places, Stonehurst Place is a sponsor of the Atlanta Preservation Center and the historic Oakland Cemetery.

You’ll choose from this small set of rooms and suites, each option entirely unique.

The Gables Suite can sleep up to four, while the Fowler Suite offers more space to only two guests, making an ideal Honeymoon Suite with its soaking tub and fireplace.

Shorter guests more interested in charm than space will love the Eaves, a slant-roofed attic with the best views in the house.

Other rooms and suites offer heated flooring, gorgeous four-poster beds, more fireplaces, mirrored wardrobes and some lovely antiques.

All rooms include notably luxurious linens, LCD TVs, beautiful minibars, individually-controlled heating systems, and are fitted with Alexa for music or alarms.

Bathrooms are stunning, with marble floors, walk-in showers, lighted mirrors and bathrobes you won’t want to take off.

The decor is pure luxury – rich textiles in whites and ivories, with touches of browns, some pearly silver, and the occasional floral print for some fun.

The art is notable too – original works by a number of different well-known artists that give an air of decided class.

And what about the reviews? What did other guests think?

Some things guests liked:

”Absolutely stunning interior especially the bathroom with a huge shower, wonderful hospitality with a delicious home cooked breakfast and brownies waiting for us in our room. The best place we stayed throughout our 2 week road trip to the US….”

”The staff were super accommodating! We bothered them numerous times with questions and they were happy to help. The little extras, that we didn’t expect were a nice bonus and value, mints on the pillows, complementary beverages and snacks. The bedding WAS indeed lux as advertised. We wish we could have stayed longer!…”

Some things guests didn’t like:

”Parking a little tight with all rooms occupied. Would have liked to have breakfast on the beautiful back porch, but it was too chilly. Although there was an outdoor heater on the porch, it wasn’t offered. I did not feel at liberty to ask if it could be turned on….”

”Atlanta traffic 🙂 but that couldn’t be helped!!!….”
