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.

Me and my wife needed rest just for us to plan out our 2025. We stayed at the Whitley in Buckhead. We went downstairs for breakfast and our morning server Onyx with her bright personality, beautiful color hair which by the way my wife LOVES, and excellent customer service. Onyx attended to us and went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our experience exceeded the Whitley’s standards. Our food was fresh, served nice and hot, and Onyx continually made sure we received excellent service. She knew what we needed and when we needed it. Thank you Onyx!!! Read less

Overall, I was very pleased with The Whitley.

Overall, I was very pleased with The Whitley. Aside from the fact that Platinum upgrades at this property don't seem to include suites (not a huge deal seeing as I was only there for a night), I felt that recognition was otherwise excellent - especially after experiencing terrible recognition at the Courtyard Emory/Executive Park in a dark room right next to an ice machine. I was surprised that, minutes after I was denied a late checkout at the aforementioned Courtyard (despite it being a supposed guaranteed Platinum benefit - thereby putting a wrench into my plans), I got a notification saying that my room at The Whitley was ready - at 9:30am and that I could come anytime. This literally saved my day, and was a great start. The room (1914) was in good shape, and had a very comfortable bed. AC was a tad weak, but the temperatures outside were very high, so this may be why. The pool is huge, and even if the pool area itself is a bit dated, the water is a great temperature and there are plenty of places to lie down and relax. I also really liked the showers in the changeroom. I also had a very late flight when leaving, and they insisted that I stay in their club lounge until I was ready to leave. I thought this was a nice touch. There were a few minor annoying issues (like the AC) that I mentioned upon checkout, and, much to my surprise, I found extra points in my account after I got home - something that really wasn't necessary, but goes to show they really do value business. Overall, great property, great service. I will definitely consider returning to The Whitley. Read less

What an awesome experience! The Whitley never fails in ambience, vibes, elegance, and service! Shonta, Tsegaye, and Antonio are amazing as always. Great food, libations, location, and people to make it worth the stay, time and investment.

We came for drinks after work and Shonta made our experience A+. I’m from out of town and she greeted us with such grace. Tysenge and Alfonso gave us theee best service. I will choose this location over anywhere else when I come to Atlanta and I travel there at least once a month.
