As one approaches the boxy,brick and vaguely dated exterior of the Crowne Plaza\nRavinia,excitement may be at a minimum. Upon closer inspection,however,\nlandscaped outdoor jogging trails,a palatial lobby and river-stone flooring are\ninitial indication that there is more to this hotel than meets the eye.Rooms are traditional in every sense of the word,with some suites even offering masculine four-poster beds so elevated that they require a footstool to climb in.Meeting rooms are just the opposite,offering state-of-the-art facilities guaranteed to make a presentation look its best.

Opened in 1911,the Georgian Terrace is easily the Grande Dame of the city ’s luxury hotels,readily apparent in its emphasis on comfortable suites and fine details such as duvets rather than comforters,walk-in closets and balconies where available. Situated on the south edge of Midtown,at the corners of Peachtree St and Ponce de Leon Ave,the Terrace is a convenient distance from nearly everything that the city has to offer.Though a rooftop pool overlooking magnificent Midtown may have you forgetting what business has you in town,state of the art conference facilities won ’t let you forget that you are in town on business.
