While the Mandarin Oriental always boats Eastern flair, the Atlanta outpost of the high-end hotel group is also steeped in Southern Hospitality. Located in the city’s tony Buckhead neighborhood, the high-rise hotel offers proximity to any number of lively restaurants and high-end shops, but what might be most attractive about the property is the sense of calm it keeps in the center of the hustle and bustle. From the gracious rooms to the hushed lobby and serene spa, the hotel offers a well appointed getaway from the busy world outside—but there’s also complimentary car service for when you decide to take advantage of that as well.
Below, General Manager Robert Lowe shares the inside scoop on the luxury destination’s most popular room.
