The hotel

Buckland is home to some of the best restaurants, shopping, art galleries and nightlife in Atlanta, an is one of the most affluent and trendy communities in the area. If this sound like you're kind of vibe, then the newly renovated, sophisticated Whitley hotel puts you in a great location to explore all of this. If you're staying on a Saturday, we highly recommend trying out 'Tipsy Tea' at the Trade Root restaurant within the hotel, where you can try gin infused teas alongside your classic finger sandwiches and teatime bakes. The restaurant and lounge is great at any time of day though, and you can even enjoy some live jazz music whilst sipping on a cocktail on select evenings. When you're not enjoying the food and drink on offer, book a treatment in the spa or relax in the sauna. And if you really want to make the most of the hotel's facilities, upgrade to a club room to enjoy the additional benefits of the lounge - hors d'oeuvres and wine in the evening?! That's a yes from us.

The room was more than adequate, but what sets a five star hotel apart is the quality of the amenities and the service. Both should be stellar. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at the Whitley. The Wi-Fi in my room was not working when I checked in on Friday afternoon.

The room was more than adequate, but what sets a five star hotel apart is the quality of the amenities and the service. Both should be stellar. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at the Whitley. The Wi-Fi in my room was not working when I checked in on Friday afternoon. I called the front desk for assistance and was first told to restart my phone and my computer. That, of course, did nothing, and when I requested help again, I was referred to an IT service out of the country to help me work through the issue. After spending 20 minutes on the phone with no success, I called the front desk again and was told she could not help me. When I requested another room, I was told to use the Wi-Fi in the lobby or one of their meeting rooms. That is the kind of attitude I expect at a three star hotel not a five star hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone expecting superior service. Atlanta has several hotels that will offer a better experience. Read less

The Whitley hotel itself was fine and as expected. But what I did experience was outstanding service and expertise with your nail technician Markeshia P. I’m two weeks out and the manicure is still just pristine and only the first bit of a chip. Not only was she an expert in her craft.

If you're looking for a top-notch resort like getaway, then look no further than the Whitley Autograph Collection in Buckhead. You must ask for Christian, the Assistant Front Office Manager who wrote the book on hotel hospitality who will ensure your experience is nothing less than a five star plus stay. The Whitley has everything you're looking for such as a classy spa service, a large bar lounge that serves excellent cocktails, and a great breakfast dining area with an excellent buffet. Here, Ms. Olga and the serving staff will take great to ensure you get great service and quality meals. The hotel management is run by Ms. April Griffith who somehow finds the time to contact her customers asking if their stay at the hotel received excellent customer service. No other hotel in the Buckhead area provides this type of Customer Service and this review is from someone who has checked out most of the top brand hotels in the Atlanta area. But don't take my word for it, take your significant other or family to the Whitley, and I assure you, you won't be disappointed. Read less

During my stay, I had breakfast at the restaurant where my server Onyx was superb. Her friendly and professional demeanor was evidently very natural. Onyx’s service was fast and efficient. Thank you Onyx and Whitley for making my trip a pleasure instead of a pain. I will definitely booking again during my travel to Atlanta.
