Four ranked hotels among Atlanta's tree canopy and Buckhead towers
Atlanta has 4 hotels ranked in the finehotels.world index. FORTH Hotel Atlanta leads on prestige score at 5.20 out of 10, followed by Hotel Clermont and Stonehurst Place Atlanta. Of those, 3 hold MICHELIN Keys, 1 hold a Forbes Five Star rating.
Atlanta's ranked hotel list is short for a city of its economic weight, with four properties in this index, three holding MICHELIN Keys and one carrying a Forbes Five Star rating. The set skews toward conversions and neighbourhood-scale houses rather than the convention towers that dominate the skyline.
The St. Regis Atlanta anchors Buckhead on a hillside above Peachtree Road, with a large terraced pool deck and residences attached. Hotel Clermont reopened a 1924 building on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Poncey-Highland, retaining the basement lounge that made the address notorious, and FORTH Hotel Atlanta sits on the Old Fourth Ward stretch of the BeltLine trail beside the reservoir park. Stonehurst Place occupies an 1896 Ansley Park residence with the original family furnishings in part retained.

Late March through May, when the dogwoods and azaleas bloom, and October are the pleasant months and the busiest, with major conventions and football Saturdays creating unpredictable spikes.
