The new Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway hotel is distinct with natural light and vibrant colors, and is integrated with the latest design and innovation of Marriott Hotels & Resorts. The facility is on track to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) – Silver from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The hotel features more than 21,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, which includes the 12,000 square feet Gateway Ballroom, the largest hotel ballroom in the airport area.

The Gateway Marriott hotel is also equipped with a GoThere Virtual Meetings studio, in partnership with AT&T TelePresence Solution, using Cisco TelePresence technology, making it the only hotel in Atlanta to provide this virtual meeting technology. The hotel lobby is designed to serve as a social hub showcasing a Media Zone with complimentary Wi-Fi.
The 403-sound proof guest rooms include 18 suites designed for relaxing work and restful sleep, all equipped with high definition LCD televisions, Plug-In panel, wired and wireless DS3 fast internet, swivel desks, iHome docking station, refrigerators, laptop safes, individual reading lights on the headboards and Marriott’s signature bedding.
