Rooftop bar hotels in Atlanta with standout venues

Harriet's Rooftop at 1 Hotel Atlanta in Buckhead sits high enough to take in both Midtown and downtown from a single vantage. SkyLounge at the Glenn Hotel offers a closer-in downtown view from the edge of the Centennial Park District, with clear wall enclosures that keep the sightlines open year-round.

All three venues on this list are open to outside visitors, not just hotel guests. Walk-in availability varies by night and season. On busy Friday and Saturday evenings, reservations at the higher-end venues reduce walk-in capacity, so calling ahead is worth the effort.

SkyLounge at the Glenn Hotel is covered with clear wall enclosures that keep the view open in cooler months, which makes it the most weather-resilient pick. The Rooftop at Hotel Clermont is tented and heated for winter and stays open seven days a week. Harriet's Rooftop reduces capacity in colder weather.

Hotel Clermont on Ponce de Leon Avenue is the only 3-star property on this list and carries the lowest room rates. The Rooftop at Hotel Clermont is open to outside visitors, so you can experience the venue without booking a room.

MARTA's Red and Gold lines serve all three properties. Peachtree Center station is an 8-minute walk to the Glenn Hotel. Buckhead station is about 12 minutes from 1 Hotel Atlanta. North Avenue station is 14 minutes from Hotel Clermont.

No. All three venues adjust hours based on season, weather, and private event bookings. Checking the hotel's official website the day before your visit is the most reliable way to confirm current hours and availability.
