Georgia is a state of contrast, a place where the Old South with its elegant town squares and distinctive architecture meets the New South of progressive cities like Atlanta. One of the original 13 colonies of the United States, and named in honour of the British King George II, it’s a place with diverse scenery and landscapes. Beautiful coastlines give way to marshlands that teem with life. In the north, huge mountain ranges poke through the clouds with rampaging rivers tumbling down towards the vast Mississippi. On top of all that, there’s a growing culinary scene that will delight your taste buds and plenty of hotels to keep you comfortable during your stay.
Where to Stay in Georgia
High Country - The mountainous northern region of the state that borders Alabama and Tennessee is a rugged and stunningly beautiful region. Here you can find big attractions like Cloudland Canyon National Park, amongst others, and great hotels and lodges.
Atlanta - The largest city and capital, and also home to Coca Cola, Atlanta is a modern and thriving city that offers a great contrast to the traditional southern lifestyles of the surrounding countryside – and plenty of glamourous city places to stay.
Coastal Islands and Okefenokee - Running down the Atlantic coast from Savannah to the Florida border you’ll find the lush and subtropical barrier islands. With plenty of nature reserves and protected landscapes, this largely pristine environment is well worth a visit.
Southwest Georgia - Home of the traditional South where life is slow and welcomes warm, things are much as they have been here for generations, yet it’s only a short drive from busy Atlanta. Book a friendly guesthouse and relax in the American south.
How to Make the Most of Your Hotel in Georgia
You’re spoiled for choice of things to see in Georgia, from the World of Coca Cola to the CNN Center, it’s a major hub of business and entertainment. Visit the Olympic Park which hosted the centennial games in 1996 or learn more about the state’s incredible history at the childhood home of Martin Luther King Jr. Hang out in hip Atlanta, shopping in the historic Downtown area or take in a ball game at the legendary Turner Field stadium. The State Capitol and Atlanta Zoo are just two more attractions in this, one of the US’s truly great states.
The first thing to do is to explore Georgia’s incredible eating and drinking options. Sample some traditional Southern cooking, including real classic dishes and BBQ, or drink a Coca Cola in the city where it was created. Sip mint juleps or the popular sweet tea drink before deciding how you’re going to spend your time. Head up north to explore the mountainous region on the borders with Alabama and Tennessee, especially the Cloudland Canyon National Park. The beautiful islands along the Atlantic Coast are also the place to go to spot birdlife in the state.
