Atlanta's Westin Peachtree: The View from the Top
Recorded February 8, 2009.
The Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel is a skyscraper and hotel in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, on Peachtree Street adjacent to the Peachtree Center complex. It is 723 feet tall, and rises 73 stories from ground level. Its diameter is 188 feet. It is the second-tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.
I had a ten hour layover in Atlanta on my way to South America. I took in the view from the top of the Westin Peachtree during my short visit to the city.

Peachtree Westin Standard King
This vid shows a standard room at the Peachtree Western tower. It was on the 48th floor. Taken Sat, 9-5-15 during DragonCon (review is mainly for D*C attendees).
This was my 5th con, first time staying in Westin. These rooms are wedge-shaped: entrance, bathroom, and closet are on the narrow end, and the wide end of the room is a curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. There's room for guests to crash, but not a lot space for stuff.
In the vid I say it's dark by the closet. I think there was a light there, but it just always felt like I was standing in my light. It was a tight fit on that end of the room, but I'm a way-big guy. The narrow bathroom door won't bother most folks.
Great bed (it even had reading lamps built into the headboard), beautiful design in both room and bath, everything looked nice. I loved the desk, and would sit on the opposite side of it so I always had that view in front of me.
The View: Tremendous both day & night. My room looked mostly north, a little bit northeast. I could see all 4 other con hotels if I looked out to the east. The big guitar up on the Hard Rock Cafe looked like a toy. From 48 floors up, the parade was too tiny to enjoy the costumes, but it was fun looking down at the crowds lining the streets and the roofs of other buildings below.
Other points: even though the Westin tower looks mirrored in any shots you see of it, people can see into your room from other buildings or even the street, especially at night.
The room door unlocked with a touch of the key card, no sliding, you can keep it in your wallet or card holder.
Westin Peachtree doesn't have a big atrium like Hyatt Regency or a huge one like Marriott Marquis, but it IS a Portman building, simply beautiful design in the lobby and public spaces.
The rotating Sun DIal restaurant is up on the 72nd floor. Don't kid yourself - you are not too cool to go there. Be a tourist. Treat yourself. I went up one night for cocktails before heading to the Marriott, and I had lunch the day I left. It's expensive but not prohibitive. If you can't afford a meal, at least go for a drink. You'll feel like a million bucks just sitting there watching the city drift by. The public can go to the Sun Dial, no room key needed but there is a concierge who admits you.
There's a pool, a small gym area, no hot tub.
Any cons? Only small things. Staff was polite but didn't get into the con spirit like the Sheraton or Hyatt does. There were con-themed drinks at the bar but not until Friday. Breakfast was expensive for what you get. Dining hall wasn't open at other times but they did set up a grab-n-go station in the lobby with sandwiches, snacks, coffee (cash only and -God love them- they asked me for exact change once. Grrr).
I think the nice design of the rooms and lobby tricks you into thinking it's a fancier place than it is.
Still, it IS a host hotel. So, there was DCTV, and plenty of in-hotel events. The Alt-History track is based here, so steampunks, alt-history, and time travel fans have even more reason to stay at the Westin.
Atlanta: a view from atop the tallest hotel in the Western world. Revolving restaurant Sun Dial
The Westin Peachtree Plaza used to be the tallest hotel in the world soon after it was built and for many years. The Sun Dial Restaurant is a lovely place to dine and as you sit at your table it revolves 360 degrees. So during your appetizers you are viewing the same building you will return to for the dessert or cheese course. Above there is a non-turning place where you can walk around the perimeter of the hotel and enjoy the scenic views. As a kid this was a favorite place to go and now even more so. Atlanta is a great city. The Olympics changed the city. It grew faster than it really was prepared to grow. Now over ten years later the city's growth pains seem to be better. It is a nice city for trees and parks. The weather is great year round. The people from the city are generally warm and friendly. The music and arts community has exploded since the early 1980s. My favorite place to see a concert is the small Chastain Park open air amphitheater where you can take a picnic and sit under the stars and enjoy all kinds of music. Lakewood amphitheater is also outdoors as is Six Flag's outdoor concert area and other places around the city. Because it does not rain or snow too often Atlanta is an outside city. However in the springtime the pollen turns everything green and yellow. Really it is like an invasion of dust.
In Many ways people think that Atlanta is the city that Coke a Cola built. Well, in some ways yes. However, I have been to the tiny town in North Carolina where Pepsi Cola was invented (after coke of course) and it is not the growing city of millions that is Atlanta. Interestingly enough you can visit the pharmacy where Pepsi was concocted and look across from the little museum and see the church that gave the drink its name, it is an Episcopal Church. The inventor rearranges the letters in the denomination's name and hence we have Pepsi. Personally, I don't care for Pepsi but do like some of their spin off drinks on occasion.
Most people only see Atlanta from the sky as it is the busiest and largest airport in the world I think now. The airport took over parts of a few little towns on the outskirts of the big city. One is College Park, Georgia. A special town really before it became mainly park and fly lots and runways.
I don't work for the chamber of commerce of Atlanta. Though you'd think I did at this rate. I am just especially sentimental right now as I looked across a city I know very well and see her full of so many buildings I haven't visited.
