All you need to know
This new hotel is a worthy addition to the ever-increasing trend of boutique hotels located in one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in America, The Ellis Hotel lives up to the high expectations expected of it. It is situated 600m from the Union Station, 350 m from The Tabernacle, and five blocks from the Georgia Aquarium CNN Centre and a close distance to the city center itself. All these make the hotel an excellent location.
This hotel holds the distinction of being the only boutique hotel in Downtown, Atlanta. With the new renovations made recently, the hotel is now an impressive sight to behold and an equally, satisfying hotel to stay. As a part of the Atlanta skyline, the hotel is an impressive building on its own due to the sleek design and architecture.
The Terrace Restaurant offers a light but delicious dinner menu that would ensure that guests have the best nightcap after a long day. The restaurant features an outside balcony that overlooks Peachtree Street meaning guests have a beautiful view while enjoying their meal. Guests will also enjoy regular morning coffee in the lobby intended to help them start their day on a good note.
Free Wi-Fi is available in all the rooms of the hotel and also a free wired internet connection. Other amenities in the room include air conditioning and in-room climate control, exquisite blackout drapes/curtains, free toiletries and a television in the extra comfortable seating area of the room.

Good but not great
The staff was excellent! Valet was excellent! Bedding was very comfortable.
The bedding wasn't clean with stains and hairs in the bedding. The shower wasn't throughly cleaned but good enough though. The bath cloths and towels were barely cleaned

Lacking History and Cleanliness
We were on the 5th Floor. We chose The Ellis because of the paranormal aspect and the history. The Ellis was the hotel that had the most deaths in a hotel fire in the history of America; over 119 people perished in the hotel. Yet there needs to be a memorial or history section of the hotel. The souls are but forgotten. The fire was so destructive that it instilled FIRE and BUILDING CODES. I think some kind of recognition should be given to those that lost their lives.
Overall the hotel felt dirty. The rooms were humid and stuffy, the valet was way overpriced, and it took forever to give the car to the Valet. This is a MARRIOT; I expect a little bit better service for the price.

Would stay here again for sure
Everything. This place is a great. Clean, updated, super comfortable beds. The staff is top notch. They have a mini store on site with essentials plus some.
The only thing and understandable to some extent was their bistro. They are short staffed which bc of the employee having an emergency they had to close early.

Front desk was very helpful
16 September 2022
My stay was comfortable and welcoming as well as seamless.
Check-in and check out was seamless. LJ, the wonderful woman who was at the front desk, was always smiling and welcoming when I returned. The lobby smelled like clean linen and my king bed was so comfortable.
Like most hotels, I wish that there were some more firm pillows for the people who struggle with the very plush and cloudy pillows. The hotel's location on Peachtree street can be very active with homeless, but the hotel locks up religiously after hours.

Glenn Hotel Autograph Collection, Atlanta
New York Times“The Glenn Hotel is in a renovated 1920s building downtown that has gossamer curtains. The rooftop bar and restaurant have a gimmick, apparently attractive to the rich and famous, where you can eat on a bed, but beware the snobby doormen and minimum spending requirements.”

New York Times“Travelers looking to spend less can try the Hotel Indigo, a budget boutique hotel across from the ornate Fox Theater. Rooms are small (it was once a Days Inn), but nicely furnished.”
