Hotel Clermont

This modern hotel with splashes of vintage decor is one of the most distinctive lodgings in the city. Upon checking in, you’ll receive a free beer and access to the building’s rooftop, where you’re sure to meet an eclectic variety of locals and out-of-town guests. Although it’s not very far from Ponce City Market and BeltLine’s Eastside Trail, you can still get the complete Atlanta experience without leaving the property. Hotel Clermont includes a lobby bar, a cafe, and the wildly popular Tiny Lou’s. It is also home to one of the oldest strip clubs in the city, the Clermont Lounge.

After a bout of heavy renovations and near-demolitions, Hotel Clermont reopened with a relaxed, well-manicured, Astroturf-covered rooftop space. It's got an identity all its own, with plants growing from painted oil barrels, early-to-mid-century patio furniture, and the restored, neon-red-lettered “HOTEL CLERMONT” radio tower that stood on the top floor for decades and is taller than the actual hotel—but most importantly, it has a pristine white bar shack from which you can order frosé.
