Small Rooms In Atlanta Hotels

Each hotel on this page publishes a room or terrace for a smaller group, from a rooftop terrace for fifty to a salon for eighty. Guests sleep upstairs and nobody needs a car.

What To Ask

Ask about the food and beverage minimum for the small room, whether a room block is required and where you can take portraits in the hotel.

How I Would Plan The Photographs

I use the lobby, the stairs and the best window in the building for portraits, and photograph the small room before the guests arrive.
