25 Best Hotels Near Atlanta Airport (ATL)

Hotels near Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport fall into three groups: the Gateway Center hotels in College Park that you reach on the free ATL SkyTrain without a shuttle bus, the big full-service hotels about a mile from the terminal with their own free shuttles, and a long row of mid-priced chain hotels along Virginia Avenue and Sullivan Road. This guide lists 25 of them and explains how each one connects to the terminal, who it suits and what to check before you book a late arrival or an early flight.

For the full overview, read our guide to the most famous landmarks in the USA.

Atlanta handled about 106.3 million passengers in 2025, according to preliminary Airports Council International figures, which kept it the world's busiest airport by passenger numbers. That volume means delayed connections and overnight stopovers are common, and the hotels below exist to absorb them. If you plan to see the city as well, our Atlanta city guide covers downtown and Midtown, and our hotel search lets you compare live availability.

How we chose these 25 hotels: We kept hotels within about two miles of the airport with a direct link to the terminal: the ATL SkyTrain, a hotel shuttle or the MARTA train. Distances and shuttle notes come from hotel, airport, tourism-board and booking-site listings checked in October 2026. Shuttle hours and fees change often, so confirm with the hotel before you land, especially for flights after midnight.

How to get from ATL terminals to airport hotels

The ATL SkyTrain is a free, elevated people mover that runs around the clock from the Domestic Terminal to the Rental Car Center and the Gateway Center in College Park, where six hotels and the Georgia International Convention Center sit. The ride takes only a few minutes. Most other hotels run free shuttles from the Domestic Terminal ground transportation area; call or use the hotel courtesy phone after you collect your bags.

If you land at the Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal, check with your hotel whether its shuttle stops there, or take the airport's inter-terminal connection to the Domestic Terminal first. MARTA's Airport station, on the Red and Gold lines, sits next to the Domestic Terminal baggage claim and is the cheapest way to downtown.

At the International Terminal, hotel and local shuttles pick up at the curb outside the main greeting area on the arrivals level. If your hotel's shuttle serves only the domestic side, ride the free Plane Train, the airport's underground people mover, which runs from Concourse F to every other concourse, including T. From there, follow the signs to Ground Transportation at the Domestic Terminal. Allow extra time for this transfer after a long-haul arrival, since customs queues come first.

25 best hotels near Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport

Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway

The 403-room Marriott Gateway in College Park's Gateway Center is the most direct hotel from the terminal: a free SkyTrain ride from baggage claim puts you at its doors in under five minutes, with no shuttle to wait for. It sits steps from the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) and is a full-service hotel built for meetings and conferences.

Travellers on a tight overnight connection and delegates at GICC events get the most from it, and the SkyTrain runs all night. Leisure travellers who want a pool resort feel will find it business-like.

Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel

Two minutes from the airport on the SkyTrain, the 204-room Renaissance is also on the Gateway Center campus in College Park and is connected to the convention centre by a walkway. Custom furnishings and art set this upscale hotel apart from standard airport properties.

Couples and business travellers who want a nicer room for a one-night stopover should look here first. Like its Gateway neighbours, it avoids the shuttle queue entirely, because the free SkyTrain runs 24 hours from the Domestic Terminal.

AC Hotel by Marriott Atlanta Airport Gateway

European-inspired décor and free Wi-Fi define the AC Hotel, a modern select-service property on the Gateway campus that is joined to the convention centre by a walkway. It shares the campus SkyTrain stop with the Marriott and Renaissance.

Solo business travellers who want a clean, modern room without full-service extras are its natural guests.

SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway

SpringHill Suites is an all-suite hotel in the Gateway Center, connected to the airport by the SkyTrain and next to the convention centre. Rooms are larger than standard, which helps families on an overnight stop, longer stays and anyone working from the room.

About 0.9 miles from the airport, the Renaissance Concourse is the closest of the shuttle hotels by distance and runs a free airport shuttle. It is a large upscale, full-service hotel with on-site dining.

Business and leisure travellers who want full services and a short ride both do well here.

Hilton Atlanta Airport

The Hilton Atlanta Airport, at 1031 Virginia Avenue, is a full-service hotel with indoor and outdoor pools and a complimentary airport shuttle. It is about 1.3 miles from the terminal.

Sheraton Atlanta Airport Hotel

A little over a mile from the airport, the full-service Sheraton runs a 24/7 airport shuttle, useful for red-eye arrivals and pre-dawn departures.

Choose it if your flight times are unusual or you land late. For a red-eye arrival or a pre-dawn departure, a round-the-clock shuttle matters more than distance, but schedules change, so confirm the shuttle the night before.

Groups and conferences use the Atlanta Airport Marriott, a large full-service hotel a short ride from the terminal with a complimentary shuttle.

Don't confuse it with the Marriott Gateway on the SkyTrain; check you booked the right one.

Hyatt Place Atlanta Airport-South

Its sister hotel to the south, about 1.5 to 1.9 miles from the airport, adds free daily breakfast to the free shuttle.

La Quinta by Wyndham Atlanta Airport North

Four Points by Sheraton Atlanta Airport West

West of the airport, the mid-range Four Points provides a complimentary round-trip shuttle, listed as running from 5am to midnight.

Shuttle details vary, so check them when booking. For park-and-fly, ask how long the hotel will keep your car and how many nights of parking are included.

Which Atlanta airport hotel suits your trip

For a tight overnight connection, pick one of the four Gateway Center hotels on the SkyTrain line: the Marriott Gateway, Renaissance Gateway, AC Hotel or SpringHill Suites. You skip the shuttle queue entirely and the train runs through the night. Home2 Suites and Tru by Hilton on the same campus are a short walk from the station.

For a red-eye arrival or a pre-dawn departure, a 24-hour shuttle matters more than distance; the Sheraton lists round-the-clock service and Drury lists very long hours. For park-and-fly, look at hotels that include parking, such as Drury and Embassy Suites North, and ask how long they will keep your car. Families on longer stops get more space at Embassy Suites, Home2 Suites, Residence Inn and Homewood Suites.

Tips for booking a hotel near ATL

For the easiest connection, book a Gateway Center hotel on the free ATL SkyTrain, which runs 24 hours from the Domestic Terminal. For shuttle hotels, call before you land to confirm hours and pick-up points, especially after midnight or when arriving at the International Terminal, and compare breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi as well as the room rate.

• Use the SkyTrain. The free ATL SkyTrain runs 24 hours from the Domestic Terminal to the Gateway Center hotels in a few minutes, with no shuttle wait.
• Confirm the shuttle. Shuttle hours and pick-up points change. Call the hotel before you land, especially if your flight arrives after midnight.
• International arrivals. If you land at the International Terminal, ask your hotel whether its shuttle stops there before you book.
• MARTA to the city. The MARTA Airport station on the Red and Gold lines is next to Domestic Terminal baggage claim, the cheapest way downtown.
• Check what is included. Breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi differ widely between hotels on the same street. Compare the full price as well as the room rate.
• Match the hotel name. Several hotels share similar names, such as two Marriotts and two Embassy Suites. Check the address before you pay.

ATL is a major connecting hub, so a missed connection or a weather delay can leave you looking for a room late at night with many other stranded passengers. A rate with free cancellation lets you hold a nearby room as soon as a delay looks likely and release it if your flight still leaves.
