ROAD WARRIORS: Travels with Mr. Shmooze:  This week... Atlanta!

Article Date: July 10, 2006

Buckhead in Atlanta was the destination this week.  The Ritz Carlton is the classic (hotel) choice and features a great bar and a breakfast buffet/room that is perfect for business meetings.

Still, the Ritz is pricey, and a great alternative at a lower price is the Intercontinental, right up the street.  Drop-dead gorgeous, nice rooms.  Not quite the same intimacy at the bar, which merges with the lobby.

Buckhead is famous for its dinner/entertainment alternatives.  All the national steakhouses are there, plus great local features like "Bones."  Smoking laws have limited cigars, but there is a little known back room at "Dan Tammas" with a major league humidor and some plasma screens to watch the games.  It's private, but mention Mr. Shmooze and you are in!
