Loews Atlanta resides in Midtown in what has been coined the “Heart of the Arts,” the city’s premier arts and entertainment district. Nearby is the esteemed Woodruff Art Museum, High Museum of Art, the historic Fox Theater and the beautiful green emerald of Atlanta: Piedmont Park. Don’t let the super sleek, modern design of the hotel fool you, as it’s not only child friendly, but pet friendly as well. The 414-room hotel makes the most of its premier location by offering floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere it can, from every guestroom to meeting and public spaces.

While Loews Atlanta may not have a pool, it does have one of the most child-friendly concierge teams that we’ve had the pleasure to meet, plus the fortune that Atlanta has grown year after year with more fun things for families to do. If your kids had their heart set on a pool, the concierge staff suggests the next best thing. Right around the corner in Piedmont Park is the newly renovated public pool that will keep you and your entire family entertained for hours. The Piedmont Park Aquatic Center boasts lap lanes for parents and a beach entry for toddlers, as well as a leisurely floating channel, ample shade and food concessions.

With a total of 414 rooms, including 44 suites (many with a separate family/living room) and 45 adjoining rooms available with King and double bed options and free premium Wi-Fi in all guest rooms, there is something for every need and budget. Just a call to the front desk and a crib can be delivered or your room can even be childproofed if you like. Staff will even bring a box of toys to use during your stay so your children will be happily entertained while you are resting your feet and admiring the floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of Atlanta's skyline.

Inspired by the restaurant's focus on salted, cured meats, your family will be at home at this casual restaurant that also focuses on kids with its Loews Loves Kids All-Day Dining Options.

It's perfect for keeping the whole family eating healthy during your stay.

All About the Extras
Wi-Fi
There is complimentary Wi-Fi in every guestroom and in public places, so you and your kids will be able to connect anywhere.

The Art of Smart Timing
While weekdays in Atlanta are bustling with business travel, the weekends are rife with families enjoying the host of tourist destinations the city offers. Summer and the holiday season, and school breaks tend to be the most popular times for families to visit the Big Peach, and staying on the weekend will keep you from paying the high business rates found during the weekdays. One caution about the weather: Atlanta isn't called Hotlanta for nothing. Try to avoid the dog days of summer, typically July and August, and consider planning your trip during the milder weather, typically in spring or fall. When is the best value? Christmas break, when the bustling city slows down to a stroll, and the cost of hotel rates and special packages comes down.

Getting There
The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is roughly 12 miles away from the Loews Atlanta. MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) provides bus and rail service in the Atlanta area. Guests can catch the MARTA rail directly in the airport Domestic Terminal at the end of baggage claim. Visitors should take the train North on any red or gold line train to the Midtown station. Then just take the main exit at street level and turn right on 10th Street. At the first stoplight, cross the street and then immediately turn left to walk north on Peachtree Street. Loews will be about a block down the road on the right. Although car rentals, Uber, and airport shuttles are also readily available at the airport, it is best to take MARTA to avoid long traffic delays, which are unfortunately commonplace in Atlanta.

Getting Around
Loews Atlanta offers a complimentary car on a first-come, first-served basis within a 3-mile radius of the hotel. The hotel is also happy to provide you car seats during your stay. MARTA is a block and a half away, and just three stops from the exciting attractions downtown. Self-parking is $26 and valet parking is $36 daily.

For Mom and Dad
Loews Atlanta's fitness fenter is simply an experience you can't miss! The center has been voted one of the top 10 hotel gyms in the country, and just stepping inside the sprawling state-of-the-art center will have you racing to lace your sneakers up. As an integral part of the hotel's Exhale program, the hotel wants to make sure that guests have every opportunity to keep up their daily routines, so everything you would have at your home gym, you will have here. Beyond the endless array of exercise equipment to use at your leisure, the fitness center has workout classes throughout the day, such as spin and yoga classes. The yoga classes can at times have 30 to 40 people participating, especially in the custom yoga studio with heated floors and expertly trained instructors.

The fitness center also offers women's and men's locker rooms, complimentary lockers, and a co-ed steam room where you can unwind with your significant other after experiencing a relaxing program. Guests are guided through a special sauna treatment that begins with 15 minutes in the steam room, 15 minutes reposing in the main relaxation room with warmed marble platforms and then take a cooling misting shower, only to return to relaxed state on the heated marble. Voila, you are rejuvenated to begin anew your family vacation.

Loews Atlanta's Exhale Spa is only for 18-years-old and over, so pamper yourself with a couples massage after your invigorating workout. And considering you are in the heart of Atlanta's nightclub and entertainment district, take advantage of the concierge's help in booking a babysitter and go out exploring the best dining in Atlanta or take in a show at the historic Fox Theater.
