During your Atlanta vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Margaret Mitchell House and Museum (Birthplace of Gone With the Wind)
Six decades after it was first published, Gone With the Wind continues to fascinate people around the world. But until this attraction opened in 1997, after a 10-year effort to preserve the house from demolition, disappointed pilgrims found precious little evidence here of the famous book or its author. Now the house and museum are a must-see for visiting GWTW fans.It's rather surprising that it took so long for restoration efforts to get underway on the dilapidated Tudor-revival apartment house where Margaret Mitchell wrote most of her epic novel and lived with her husband, John Marsh, from 1925 to 1932. The structure was built as a single-family dwelling in 1899, then moved to the back of the lot in 1913 and converted into a 10-unit apartment building 6 years later. It remained an apartment building until 1979, when it was abandoned and eventually boarded up. When the newlyweds moved in, they called it "The Dump." It was not an affectionate nickname; according to a friend of Mitchell's, she disliked living there (finances left few alternatives) and would probably be offended by the notion of its restoration. But the house has been attracting its share of visitors -- from all 50 states and more than 70 countries.The house and museum tell the complex story of the famous novelist. Guided tours, which last an hour to an hour-and-a-half, begin in the visitor center. Before beginning the tour, guests enter the theater to see a 17-minute film titled "It May Not Be Tara," featuring an overview of Mitchell's life, and interviews with some of her friends and family members. Also in the theater is an exhibition of photos taken of Mitchell in her teens and 20s. The tour of the house includes a visit to the Mitchell-Marsh apartment, which is furnished much as it was when the couple lived here. Mitchell wrote much of her novel in the front room, seated at a typewriter and desk below the beveled glass windows in the small corner alcove. Like most writers, she preferred to keep her literary efforts private and would throw a towel over her typewriter when friends dropped in -- which was often.The museum contains movie memorabilia and chronicles the making of the movie, its premiere in Atlanta, and the impact that the book and movie had on society. The tour concludes in the museum shop, which features a variety of GWTW collectibles and memorabilia. If you finish your tour around mealtime and you're ready for a real change of pace, walk a few blocks south on Peachtree to the Vortex, a rowdy burger joint and bar that serves some of the best hamburgers in town.
Château Élan Winery & Resort
Surrounded by verdant countryside, Château Élan is a hilltop winery that replicates a 16th-century French estate. Though its first wines were produced in 1985, the winery has already garnered more than 200 awards.Guided tours are given daily between 11am and 4pm (call ahead for exact times). On view are the crushing and pressing machines, oak barrels used to age and flavor the wines, the cask room, and the bottling area. The tours conclude with a wine tasting. Grapes ripen in July/August, so if you're here during harvesting in August and September, you'll actually see the winemaking procedure. More than 300 tons of grapes are harvested and processed each year. The interior of the château, a stage-set version of a Paris street, has a quarry-stone floor, wrought-iron fences, and street lamps. The building houses an art gallery offering monthly exhibits by regional and national artists, displays of antique European winemaking equipment, and a wine market.There are also three on-premises restaurants, so plan to eat lunch or dinner here. Café Élan, open daily from 11am to 10pm, features sandwiches, salads, and light entrees. It's a charming setting, with seating under a green awning. Paddy's Irish Pub, open Saturday at noon, Sunday at 12:30pm, and the rest of the week at 2pm (closing hours vary), serves traditional Irish fare and spirits. The fancier Le Clos, with pale pink walls, lace-curtained French doors, and tables covered with crisp white linen, is open for dinner only Wednesday through Saturday evenings, with seatings from 6:30 to 9:30pm. A seven- or eight-course prix-fixe meal beginning at $78 or $88 features haute-cuisine entrees; appropriate Château Élan wines are served with each course. Reservations are imperative. Men are required to wear a coat and tie.You might also consider an overnight or longer stay at the 277-room Inn at Château Élan, a luxurious resort where facilities include three golf courses (two 18-hole and one par-3, 9-hole) and seven tennis courts (offering pro shops and instruction), an equestrian center, a full-service European-style health spa and salon ("days of pampering" are an option), an outdoor Olympic-size pool, an indoor heated pool, and a fitness center. Room rates begin at $180 double; call the numbers below for details and to inquire about golf, tennis, spa, and other packages. There are also four restaurants at the adjoining Château Élan resort. If the lovely grounds beckon, you can order a gourmet picnic basket from the kitchen at the hotel.
William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum
This museum, the largest of its kind in the Southeast, offers a unique glimpse into Atlanta's history, exploring Jewish heritage with a special emphasis on the Atlanta Jewish experience. Two main galleries juxtapose the destruction of the Holocaust with the re-emergence of Jewish communities in Atlanta and throughout the world. The stories are told through photographs, documents, and memorabilia uncovered in the attics and basements of local families and individuals. Especially moving are the stories and possessions generously shared by Holocaust survivors living in Atlanta.In addition to the two main galleries, there's a Discovery Center with hands-on activities related to the exhibitions, a community archive, a genealogy center, a library, and a gift shop.
Marriott Evergreen Conference Resort
Geared primarily to business groups, Evergreen is also a good choice for vacationing families who want to take advantage of the activities in Stone Mountain Park. Recently expanded, this turreted stucco lakefront "castle" is nestled in a fragrant pine forest. The large, luxuriously appointed rooms have balconies, and lakeview rooms are available. Suites boast a lovely spacious bedroom; however, those who wind up on the uncomfortable pullout couch in the living room may be in for a restless night.Facilities: Restaurant; Starbucks; indoor swimming pool; kiddie pool; large outdoor pool; 2 18-hole championship golf courses; 16 tennis courts; 24-hr. fitness center; Jacuzzi; concierge (who sells tickets to all park attractions); airport shuttle on request; full business/meeting facilities; 24-hr. room service.
Hyatt Regency Atlanta
One of the city's major convention hotels, this Hyatt was designed in 1967 by famed Atlanta architect John Portman. With its innovative 23-story atrium lobby, it created quite a stir and was the prototype not only for future downtown hotels in the city, but also for a number of hotels throughout the United States. The hotel recently underwent a $22 million renovation, which saw the addition of new furnishings, new wall and floor coverings, new draperies, new lighting, and new artwork. In addition, all the bathrooms were upgraded.The Hyatt accommodates guests in the original 1967 building and in two later additions -- the 24-story International Tower and the 22-story Ivy Tower. Rooms have a contemporary flavor and feature the Hyatt's "premium bedding" concept -- beds are graced with pillow-top mattresses, high-thread-count sheets, and feather blankets. The functional and stylish bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers and Portico bath amenities.The main building's 22nd floor houses the Regency Club accommodations, featuring a private concierge, a lounge, continental breakfasts, evening hors d'oeuvres, and plush robes. Business Plan rooms (equipped with personal work stations, in-room faxes, desk phones with computer jacks, and coffeemakers) are on the 21st floor. Business Plan guests get free local calls and other perks. The blue dome capping Polaris, the Hyatt's revolving rooftop restaurant, is a landmark on the city's skyline. Open for dinner, Polaris features steak, seafood, decadent desserts, and spectacular views. The hotel is connected to the Peachtree Center mall by a covered walkway. Accommodations, rates, and service at the Hyatt are comparable to those at the Hilton, and any preference is usually based on habit. The Hilton is, however, the more suitable property for large conventions.
Stone Mountain Park Inn
This charming inn, across the street from the tennis venue built for the 1996 Olympics, is managed by Marriott and housed in a two-story, white-colonnaded brick building that wraps around a central courtyard. Rooms are lovely, featuring Chippendale-reproduction furnishings, and most have large vanity/dressing room areas and spacious parlors. Honeymoon suites offer king-size, four-poster beds. Almost all accommodations have courtyard-facing balconies or patios with rocking chairs. Five rooms are accessible to travelers with disabilities.
