AC Hotel Atlanta Airport Gateway
AC Hotel Atlanta Airport Gateway is the way to get the SkyTrain’s no-shuttle convenience at a mid-range price: 222 rooms at 2079 Hospitality Way, one stop from the Domestic Terminal on the free 24-hour ATL SkyTrain, then a five-minute walk or a call for a pick-up from the station. Rooms are smaller and plainer than at the Marriott Gateway across the concourse, the breakfast is European rather than Southern, and the rate is usually a step lower.
Guest Rooms
The 222 rooms on seven floors follow the AC formula: hard floors, an open wardrobe, a king bed or two queens, a mini-fridge, a smart TV and free Wi-Fi for Marriott Bonvoy members. There is no clutter and no carpet, which some travellers like and others find spare. Higher floors face the airport across the convention centre.
Standard room amenities include:
- Air conditioning
- Mini-fridge
- Work desk
- Safe
- Hair dryer
- Iron and ironing board
- Smart TV
- Free Wi-Fi for Bonvoy members
- USB charging points

For a hot buffet included in the rate, the SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway is a two-minute walk away.
