Spa and Wellness Hotels in Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta's spa hotels cluster in three places: Buckhead, around Peachtree Road, Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza; downtown, near Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the Georgia World Congress Center; and The Battery, the district built around Truist Park in Cobb County. The spa and wellness tag on this page is broad, so it also covers hotels whose offer is a pool, a hot tub or a health club, mostly around Perimeter Center and the airport. I separate the real spa hotels, such as the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead and The Whitley, from the rest, so the label does not mislead you.
Atlanta is a spread-out city of neighbourhoods linked by Peachtree Road and the MARTA lines. Buckhead is its upscale shopping and hotel district, Midtown has Piedmont Park and the arts venues, and downtown gathers the stadiums, the Georgia Aquarium and the convention centre. Further out, Perimeter Center is an office hub and The Battery, around Truist Park, has become a destination of its own. A spa stay here is a city break, not a retreat, so location decides most of the trip.
Buckhead Spas and Practical Wellness Picks
For treatments, a sauna and a proper spa, Buckhead is the strongest part of the city, with downtown and The Battery close behind. For a pool and a hot tub after a day of meetings, the Perimeter Center hotels and the airport options are well rated and practical. I name only hotels listed and published here, and I say which ones have a real spa.
Buckhead holds the strongest spa hotels in the city. The Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead, rated 9.5, lists a full range of spa facilities with an indoor pool, a sauna and a hot tub. The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Atlanta Buckhead has a luxury spa and an indoor heated pool, and it is within walking distance of Lenox Square, Phipps Plaza and the Buckhead MARTA station. The Westin Buckhead Atlanta, rated 9.1, adds a spa and wellness centre on Peachtree Road, next to both malls. Shopping, dinner and treatments can all happen without a car here.
Downtown and Midtown work better if your trip includes a game, a concert or a convention. Signia by Hilton Atlanta Georgia World Congress Center, rated 9.0, has spa facilities, beauty services and a saltwater pool, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a short walk away. FORTH Hotel Atlanta, also rated 9.0, offers a rooftop pool, a spa and a sauna, and The Tess, Autograph Collection adds a rooftop pool and rooms with balconies. Hotel Clermont Atlanta, by Oliver, a historic property about two kilometres from Piedmont Park, lists spa and wellness facilities too, which suits a weekend centred on the park and the BeltLine area.
North-west of the city, the Omni Hotel at the Battery Atlanta is the best rated spa hotel on the page after the Waldorf, at 9.3. It sits within the Truist Park development, home of the Atlanta Braves, with a year-round outdoor pool, a spa and a pet-friendly policy, and the Cobb Energy Centre is about a mile away. For a quieter, lakeside setting, The Westin Atlanta Perimeter North has a heated outdoor saltwater pool on a private lake and direct access to the Concourse Athletic Club, which feels more like a sports club than a spa but is rated 9.0 from more than 1,600 reviews.
Several listings carry the wellness tag for a pool, a hot tub or a gym rather than treatments. The Drury Inn & Suites Atlanta Airport, next to Hartsfield-Jackson, pairs an outdoor pool and hot tub with a hot breakfast. The Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, rated 9.2 and close to MARTA, has a pool, a hot tub and wellness facilities, and Stonehurst Place Bed & Breakfast, rated 9.9, offers a hot tub in a historic house with a garden. Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta-Buckhead, rated 7.6, only lists access to spa facilities, so I would not book it for a spa stay.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a spa weekend, I would book the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead, the best rated hotel on the page at 9.5, for its indoor pool, sauna and hot tub, and spend the afternoons walking between Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. If the trip were built around a Braves game, I would choose the Omni Hotel at the Battery Atlanta instead, with its spa and its location inside the Truist Park development.

Check availabilityWhy guests love itI would choose Stonehurst Place for an Atlanta stay that is about atmosphere.

Local tips
- 1Check each listing for a real spa: the Waldorf Astoria Buckhead, The Whitley, the Westin Buckhead, Signia by Hilton, FORTH and the Omni at the Battery name one.
- 2Book treatments with the room, especially on weekends with a game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or Truist Park, when downtown and Battery hotels fill fast.
- 3Use MARTA to link Buckhead, Midtown, downtown and Hartsfield-Jackson: The Whitley and the Georgia Tech Hotel are both close to a station.
- 4For an indoor pool in winter, look at the Waldorf Astoria Buckhead, The Whitley, the Emory Conference Center Hotel or the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia.
- 5For a rooftop pool in the city, choose FORTH Hotel Atlanta, The Tess, Hotel Phoenix Atlanta or Twelve Downtown, Autograph Collection.
- 6Do not count on a spa at Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta-Buckhead or Hyatt Place Atlanta/Perimeter Center, whose listings mainly mention a gym.
