One of the best ways to get a feel for the city is along the Atlanta BeltLine, with access one block from The Wylie. Along the 22 mile loop, you’ll pass colorful murals, friendly faces, and plenty of neighborhood spots to stop for a drink or a bite. Prefer to ride instead of stroll? BeltHub bike rentals are available right here at Wylie, making it easy to cruise through the neighborhood like you’ve lived here all your life.

Head to Piedmont Park in the late afternoon, when the Georgia sun starts to soften, and take a stroll around Lake Clara Meer. You’ll find locals lounging by the water, catching up with friends, and soaking in the skyline views. If you're feeling a little adventurous, grab an e-scooter or bike and cruise through the park. Just next door, the Atlanta Botanical Garden is full of shaded paths, blooming flowers, and plenty of spots that’ll make you stop and smell the roses.

Give yourself a few hours at the Georgia Aquarium and start with Ocean Voyager, where a whale shark, manta rays, and schools of fish glide right overhead through a massive underwater tunnel. It’s one of the largest aquariums in the world and the kind of place that makes folks stop in their tracks. Then wander over to Cold Water Quest to visit the beloved beluga whales. If time allows, reserve the dolphin presentation or sea lion show ahead of time. Both are well worth adding to your day.

Wylie hotel is just steps away from one of Atlanta's best shopping spots, Ponce City Market. Inside, you’ll find a mix of food stalls, local shops, vintage treasures, handmade goods, and no shortage of places to grab a coffee or cocktail. Before you head out, stop by Five Daughters Bakery for a 100-layer donut (trust us on this one). For the best views in town, make your way up to Skyline Park for drinks, a round of mini golf, and a sweeping look at Atlanta.

Right next to the aquarium, the World of Coca Cola serves up a little taste of Atlanta history. Wander through vintage ads, old bottles, the bottling process, and the famous Coca Cola vault. The real treat comes at the tasting room, where you can sip Coca Cola flavors from all over the world, including favorites like Kiwi Fanta from Thailand and bright fruit sodas from Africa and Europe. Some you'll wish you could bring home, and some are best enjoyed just once.

The Wylie is the kind of place you find yourself coming back to, again and again. Start your morning at Mrs. P’s with Southern favorites like shrimp and grits, a buttery croissant breakfast sandwich, or French toast topped with Georgia peach compote. Come evening, settle into a cozy banquette for short rib empanadas, fried green tomatoes, peach glazed wings, or a good ol’ burger and fries with a handcrafted cocktail. When the day’s adventures are done, head upstairs and sink into one of our plush king beds.
Plan your stay in Midtown Atlanta, darlin’. All of the best things to do are just outside our door.
