Planning a trip to Atlanta for March 12th & 13th. Finding it hard to book a downtown hotel. Is the circus in town or something else? Thanks!

I went on the ACVB site-Atlanta convention & vistors site, and I did find that there is a hockey game at Phillips arena downtown, I think also that basketball playoffs are around that time too. There also could be a convention of some sort. If you don't have to be in downtown, try booking in midtown or buckhead area. Good luck.

Thanks! I am actually going to the Hockey game on Friday and I'd like to stay close to the arena (walking distance if possible).

It looks like it is a combination of conventions, trade shows and other stuff. The American College Of Cardiology convention expects attendance of 29,000 while the AmericasMart expects 15,000 to attend its spring trade shows that weekend. I don't know if thats enough to fill the downtown hotels but also that weekend is a hockey game, a basketball game, and Elton John/Billy Joel concert.

If you get a hotel within walking distance of a Marta train station, it would be convenient to get to the arena. This would apply to any hotel in Midtown.

Yeah, the City seems to be in a sold-out situation that weekend, but I did find rooms in Midtown at this great place: Midtown Atlanta Hotel | The Artmore Hotel

This is a recent conversion to a boutique Hotel - I'm guessing that is the only reason they still have rooms, as their name is still somewhat unknown.

Great, funky little place in Midtown, directly across the street from the Arts Center train station.

Good luck!
