Conferences and shows require a lot of energy from attendees. You spend a lot of time on your feet walking across the exhibit hall or from session to session. You spend a lot of time socializing and networking with old friends and new colleagues. The schedule for the day often begins early in the morning and can extend late into the evening. All of these are reasons enough to pamper yourself with a room at a bed and breakfast while attending a show at a convention center in Atlanta. Here are even more reasons to stay at Stonehurst Place the next time you are attending a conference or show at the Georgia World Congress Center or the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart:
- You do not have to find breakfast each morning. A seated gourmet breakfast is prepared for guests on weekend mornings. During the week, the formal dining room converts into a convenient cafe with everything you need for a fresh start to your morning.
- You can escape to a spot of quiet when you return to the bed and breakfast each evening. The lobbies of the big conference hotels are full of colleagues but you have been with them all day. Take a break and let your social brain reset for a few hours.
- The guest rooms feel like home, only more luxurious. The midtown Atlanta retreat boasts gallery-quality art and a classic, yet comfortable, decor. After spending hours in a sterile convention center, the guest rooms at Stonehurst Place are like a pillow for your soul.
- You can earn points with Stash Hotel Rewards. One of the perks of traveling on a regular basis for work is the option of earning hotel loyalty points. Stonehurst Place is one of hundreds of independent and boutique hotels in the Stash Hotel Rewards system. Forget the cookie-cutter big hotel and bring your business travel to another level.
- Stonehurst Place has everything a business traveler needs. All of the guest rooms have a workstation with a desk and comfortable chair. All guests have access to free high-speed internet. See all of their business amenities here.
- Parking is free for guests of Stonehurst Place. Parking in a downtown area can be hectic and overwhelming. When you return to your room each night, you can relax knowing that parking will not be something you need to worry about.
- Stonehurst Place is only 1.8 miles from the Atlanta Convention Center and 2.8 miles from the Georgia World Congress Center. If you prefer not to deal with Georgia World Congress Center or Atlanta Convention Center parking, you can take the MARTA to access both conference centers.
- To access the Atlanta Convention Center, walk nine minutes (0.4mi) to the Midtown Station. Take the Gold Line south to the Civic Center Station (2nd stop) and walk four minutes to the Atlanta Convention Center; the entire trip will take about 16 minutes.
- To access the Georgia World Congress Center, continue on the Gold Line to the Five Points Station (4th stop), step off the train and get onto the Blue Line heading west, get off at Vine City Station (2 stops) and walk seven minutes (0.3mi) to your destination; the entire trip will take about 20 minutes.
