Bellyard, West Midtown Atlanta, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
- Address: 1 Interlock Ave NW, Atlanta, GA, 30318, United States
- Rates from: $349 per night
An upscale boutique hotel, the Bellyard is located in Atlanta’s Westside (in fact, it’s the only hotel on the Westside), which was once known as an industrial neighborhood – but has since become one of the trendiest urban districts in the city, and known for its fantastic spots to dine and drink. Its 161 rooms are modern — boasting a lobby that’s less of a traditional hotel lobby and more of a “hybrid dining and lounging experience” with a restaurant/bar, Drawbar). The property’s architecture and design are a tribute to the neighborhood’s storied history (think: exposed ceiling beams, industrial feeling decor elements like rope and wood inspired by the stockyards). Gaze at the brightly painted mural showcasing the works of a local artist — and there are inspiring pops of color on the outdoor terrace and in the private courtyard garden. It’s an eclectically classy spot to spend a night in Atlanta’s Westside.
