We arrived just as most guests were checking out, but the staff checked us in and held our luggage and said they would text me when the room was ready. That was fine with us, as the property sits in a perfect location, walkable to almost everything. By the time we returned, our room was ready, our bags already delivered.

Built in as a Newport summer cottage by John Winthrop Chanler, the three short floors, though lacking an elevator, add to the historical charm of the building.
We were grateful to enjoy V. I was slightly early, but the valet assisted me with my vehicle and my luggage, escorting me inside the hotel. It was an easy drive from the airport to this lovely area of Buckhead. As we had various appointments around Atlanta and Carrie was taking the car on an extended vacation afterward, a rental proved the best option.
