Thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, your room or suite will provide spectacular views of Buckhead or the Atlanta skyline. Room rates start at around $324 per night, while suites start at around $474. With this being a Hyatt category five hotel, if you decide to book with points, expect to use approximately 17,000-20,000 points per night.
I stayed in a Parlor Suite with beautiful city views of Atlanta. It is stunning at night. Although the hotel is situated next to an apartment community, you might have views of the apartment’s parking deck, but the city of Atlanta’s views make up for that. On a clear day, you can even spot the Mercedes Benz Stadium.

AMENITIES

FOOD + DRINKS
The Thompson Hotel has a bar and restaurant on site.
The Lobby Bar has a classic Georgian theme. This is a great bar to enjoy cocktails and bites before a night out. There is also an Italian-American restaurant, the Dirty Rascal.
Room Service
The room service breakfast was amazing! The food arrived very hot, and the portions are perfect. They offer a variety of fresh pressed juices, and they are delicious.
With a modern twist on classic Italian-American dishes, our signature restaurant is led by James Beard-nominated Chef Todd Ginsberg. This restaurant offers breakfast, brunch, dinner, cocktails, and desserts.
Overall, the Dirty Rascal has a unique vibe making it perfect for a date night or girl’s night out. There is something for everyone on the menu. I will say that the menu options often change, so what you might see on the menu online might be slightly different in person.
From a taste palette, I would rate the food about a 6 out of 10. Coming from New York and enjoying food in Little Italy, it’s always hard to compare. Overall, I would recommend trying the Dirty Rascal.
SERVICE
Nowadays, everyone is looking for reviews to learn more about how the service of a hotel they are planning to book. I was pleased with the service from when I arrived to when I checked out. Everyone on site was very accommodating; this includes this restaurant.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
This was my first time staying at a Thompson Hotel property. I have always heard great things about the Thompson Hotel Nashville, so when I had the opportunity to visit the Thompson Hotel Buckhead, I could not wait to view the property.
My only drawback is that this is a pet-friendly hotel highly promoted on many travel sites. I was aware that this was a pet-friendly hotel before, and I have stayed at many pet-friendly hotels in the past. However, I found some areas of the hotel, including my room, had a slight pet odor.
I am not a pet owner, so I am sensitive to pet odor; however, after settling in and spraying my perfume, I got rid of the smell. If you are sensitive to pet odor, be mindful of this and pack a little extra spray if this might be an issue.
Otherwise, my staycation was fantastic. Although it rained most of my stay, I had a few gaps between storms to check out the pool area, which is gorgeous. Note that the pool is seasonal and only open between May and September.
Overall I would highly recommend the Thompson Hotel Buckhead, and I would certainly return. I hope you have found this article helpful and informative. Please visit their website for information on the Thompson Hotel Buckhead to reserve your stay.
