Centennial Olympic Park
Centennial Olympic Park, one of the most enduring legacies of the 1996 Olympic Games, is a living monument to the city's memories -- both good and bad -- of that seminal event. Conceived as a town square, it represents the heart of the Olympic effort, the site where everyone flocked to celebrate the games. And when the games resumed after the bombing in the park that claimed two lives, it was where people gathered to try to revive the Olympic spirit.A 21-acre swath of green space and bricks, the park was carved out of a blighted downtown area. It was closed after the games and redesigned for permanent use before reopening in 1998. Once again the universal gathering place it was intended to be, it's an oasis of rolling lawns crisscrossed by brick pathways and punctuated by artwork, rock gardens, pools, and fountains. There are usually a few free events each month -- festivals, artists' markets, and concerts and other performances. Call for a complete listing of happenings.If you're visiting the park on your own, and not coming for a specific event, your first stop should be the visitor center on International Boulevard, in the southwest corner of the park, across from the CNN Center. This is where you'll find information about the park. If you bought a $35 commemorative brick in 1996, someone will help you locate it among the nearly 500,000 engraved bricks that were used to pave the plaza and walkways. Even if you didn't buy a brick, it's fun to wander around and read the names and messages (some pretty intriguing) engraved on them.The best part of the park is the fountain in the shape of the five interlocking Olympic Rings. It's the focus of a vast paved plaza bordered by 23 flags honoring all the host countries of the modern Games. If you're here in summer, you and the kids can frolic in the fountain (wear shirts and shoes, please), a good way to cool off in the sizzling Southern heat. Don't be shy-just about everybody in Atlanta has done this at one time or another. If getting drenched is not your thing, you can still enjoy one of the "concerts" put on by the fountains-timed water and light displays accompany seven different songs. The water jets, which normally shoot 12 feet into the air, can reach 35 feet during special effects.Located along the east border are the Quilt Plazas, five plazas of contrasting bricks that tell the story of the Centennial Olympic Games. The best "quilt" is also the most moving. Titled the Quilt of Remembrance, it pays respect to the bombing victims and contains colored marble from five continents. Be sure to read the inscriptions on its borders.Pricey Park Land--If you really, really, really had a good time at Centennial Olympic Park, you can have it all to yourself for a small fee. Though it's a public park, it's also a moneymaker managed by the Georgia World Congress Center, and parts of the park are sometimes rented for various business functions, parties, or other celebrations. There have even been a few weddings. You can rent the entire park for, um, $10,000. Call tel. 404/222-7275 for details.
Alexander Memorial Coliseum
This 10,000-seat stadium -- renovated for the Olympics -- is home to Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets college basketball team. Parking is limited around the stadium; it's easiest to take MARTA.
The APEX (African-American Panoramic Experience) Museum
This museum chronicles the history of Sweet Auburn, once Atlanta's foremost black residential and business district, and serves as a national African-American museum and cultural center. The museum's Trolley Car Theater, a replica of a turn-of-the-century tram that ran on Auburn Avenue, presents a 12-minute multimedia presentation, Sweet Auburn: Street of Pride, that acquaints visitors with the area's history. Sweet Auburn history also comes to life in tableaux such as a replica of an Auburn Avenue barbershop and a re-creation of the 1920s-era Yates & Milton's Drugstore (Atlanta's first black pharmacy), featuring some original furnishings. There are interactive displays for children. The APEX recently added a tribute to the late Maynard Holbrook Jackson, Jr., Atlanta's first black mayor. Inquire about special events and workshops taking place during your visit to Atlanta.Across the street from the APEX Museum, at 100 Auburn Ave., is Herndon Plaza, where you can see a permanent exhibit on the Herndon family (former slave Alonzo F. Herndon founded the Atlanta Life Insurance Company), and changing shows featuring the works of African-American artists.
Days Inn Atlanta Downtown
This recently upgraded central Days Inn allows visitors to stay in the heart of the business district at a moderate cost. Rooms on floors 3 to 10 have balconies, with views toward Midtown. Although you don't get all the luxury-hotel frills here, the accommodations are just fine. Guest rooms are large and comfortable, featuring cherry furniture and a classy gold, green, and burgundy color scheme. All rooms boast new slim-design televisions. Bathrooms, with shower/tub combinations, are separate from the vanity area, a plus for those traveling in packs and trying to get ready for dinner or an event all at the same time. A hotel lounge, open 5pm to midnight, allows guests to view televised sporting events on a large screen. The new athletic center and large outdoor pool are other highlights. In-house conference rooms and a location in the heart of the business district make this hotel a great choice for folks in town on official business, and rooms and facilities are also quite suitable for families. This is also a great choice for those in town to enjoy events at the Georgia Dome, Phillips Arena, Turner Field, and Centennial Olympic Park. Six rooms are wheelchair accessible.
Embassy Suites Atlanta Buckhead
This all-suite hotel stacks up well to the more expensive hotels in the same area. A favorite with business travelers, the suite arrangement is also ideal for families, and the location can't be beat, with Lenox Square, Phipps Plaza, and many fine restaurants within walking distance. The Buckhead MARTA station is less than a block away, so it's easy to connect quickly with other parts of the city and with the airport.Each elegantly appointed 800-square-foot, two-room suite was renovated in 2004 and has a queen-size, fold-out sofa in addition to a bed. Bathrooms offer marble vanities and hair dryers, and there is a separate sink in the bedroom. Although the entire hotel is accessible to travelers with disabilities (most of the participants in the wheelchair division of the Peachtree Road Race stay here), 10 of the suites are completely equipped for those with disabilities; 2 have roll-in showers.Two popular bonuses: the complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast served in the 16-story atrium lobby (check out the waterfall!), and complimentary cocktails served each afternoon. Because almost everyone takes breakfast in the lobby, room service does not serve breakfast.
Hotel Indigo
This new boutique hotel opened in 2004 in a space that formerly housed the Days Inn Peachtree. Rooms have a welcoming foyer, hardwood floors, and beds with oversize pillows in funky color combinations. Also oversize are the Adirondack lobby chairs in each room, sporting more funky pillows. The spa-style showers are the perfect treat after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel is right across the street from the Fox Theatre, so you can just roll up into bed after attending a performance.
