Welcome to the ATL Airport District—one of the most unexpected and convenient places to stay when you’re traveling to the Atlanta area. As a vibrant mix of industry, technology, hospitality, and history, the district is located just ten minutes south of downtown Atlanta.

The district comprises four historic metro Atlanta cities—College Park, East Point, Hapeville, and Union City—and is home to the world’s busiest airport, the second‑largest convention center in Georgia, and more than 8,000 hotel rooms. It also offers an ever‑growing selection of unique shops, local breweries, restaurants, and a thriving culture that feels both connected to the city and uniquely its own.

College Park

Atlanta’s gateway to the world, College Park blends Southern hospitality, main‑street charm, and a global cuisine scene.

East Point

East Point, the district’s largest city, features eccentric neighborhoods, a lively downtown, and the largest shopping district in the area.

Hapeville

Home to the arts, Hapeville marries small‑town charm with big‑city amenities, all highlighted by vibrant color.
