The Big Peach, the New York of the South, Hotlanta — whatever you call it, Atlanta, Georgia, has a lot to offer travelers.
Luxury travelers will find fine dining (and not just the southern-inspired fare you might expect) and high-end shopping. Family travelers will find loads of educational, entertaining activities for the kids. History buffs have a bevy of museums to choose from, sports lovers can cheer for multiple major sports teams, and nature fans can find world-class parks. Heck, there’s even the Coca-Cola museum. There’s truly something for everyone.
Whatever you plan to do while in Atlanta, though, you’ll need a great place to stay. Luckily, there are great airbnbs in Atlanta with as much variety as the city. Here are a few of the best to book before they get snatched up.

2. Beltline Loft
Why you should stay: An airy loft in a great location
- Sleeps: 3
- Minimum stay: 2 nights
- Rates from: $225/night
If you have a tendency to feel cramped in most hotel rooms or Airbnb rentals, the Beltline Loft is for you, as this loft is anything but cramped. Housed in a 1900’s cotton warehouse, it boasts soaring ceilings nearly 20 feet high and tons of natural light. It’ll be one of your favorite airbnbs in Atlanta if you’re a fan of the city’s industrial, historical past.
If you can bear to leave the gorgeous, sunny space with its minimalistic decor, you’ll find a convenient location on Atlanta’s BeltLine, a former railway corridor revitalized as a walking trail. Along the way, you’ll find public art, tours, fitness classes and more, as well as tons of shopping and dining. It’s akin to New York City’s Highline, but everything is a bit cheaper.

You may just decide you want to move in permanently, especially after you take advantage of the home’s proximity to Atlanta’s most famous green space: Piedmont Park.

- Sleeps: 6
- Minimum stay: 2 nights
- Rates from: $235/night
Farmhouse meets industrial in this unique farmhouse-style airbnb with a loft near the BeltLine, in Atlanta’s Reynoldstown neighborhood. Rough reclaimed wood features abound, as do sleek concrete floors. Plush couches and bedding add a soft touch to balance it out. This is technically a pet-friendly rental, but they’re not allowed on the furniture, so think twice about bringing your dogs used to snuggling up with you.
A porch swing provides an outdoor space to relax on the bottom floor while a ceiling fan-equipped balcony with a fire bowl provides even more space off the second floor. Everyone gets space to spread out, but when it’s time to come together in the big eat-in kitchen or in the living area (maybe to project a movie, theater-style?), no one will feel crowded.
