A surprising find, The Forth Hotel is as moody as it is bright. Was I in the lobby of an exclusive hotel in Milan, Barcelona or another modern European city, now popular with discerning travelers? The front desk staff wear suits and are formal but warm and I feel seen.
Deep velvet and leather sofas flank a wood fire blazing in the lobby, and the terrace suite has its own outdoor wood-burning fireplace, rarities in Atlanta hotels.
With a killer location, just steps from the BeltLine in Old Fourth Ward, The Forth hotel’s gorgeous rooms, sprawling fitness club, Insta-worthy outdoor pool deck and rooftop lounge, and variety of restaurants will win you over during your next in town staycation.
Food first. Get yourself a reservation at Il Premio for an Italian steakhouse dinner, Moonlight for a big city nightcap and Elektra for pool-side brunch. No need to leave the property, except to walk, run, scooter or bike the BeltLine to drink in Atlanta’s diversity and energy.
Hotel guests enjoy access to The Forth Fitness Club, a membership-only gym. During my stay, I checked out the key for the cold plunge, a private room where I could dip into the deep tub of water where the thermometer struggled to reach 50. A timer, bluetooth speaker, dim lighting and privacy door hanger should have given me confidence. They did not, for more than 60 long seconds.
The Forth Hotel will be your in town Atlanta womb. From the Sferra robes in the rooms to the warm smiles and service from the wait staff at Elektra, your day will be full of promise.
