This is a fantastic hotel for anyone who is young, trendy and looking to go out on Rainey street.
It’s just behind Rainey’s many bars, clubs and restaurants, so if you are planning to party hard but then retreat to a luxurious and modern hotel at the end of the night – the Kimpton will be perfect for you!

The lobby is very funky and on check in you can get a free watermelon cider – very hipster.
But all staff is very friendly and efficient and our room was even ready early.

We had some French champagne and chocolate strawberries waiting for us in our room as we were travelling for our anniversary – lovely touch!

We also got upgraded to a river view room – very nice!

The room was spacious, very clean and surprisingly quiet despite being just above the pool deck.
They must have good sound proofing which is great if you have a room above Rainey street, especially on a weekend. (Live music everywhere!)

The pool deck is the place to be, all the hot young people hang out there.

Definitely not a place for older people, but we aren’t huge partiers and still really enjoyed it.

Would definitely recommend this hotel.
