Getting from Hartsfield‑Jackson (ATL) by MARTA
MARTA is a reliable, cash-optional rail option from Hartsfield‑Jackson to downtown Atlanta. Board a northbound Red or Gold line train at the airport station and ride to Peachtree Center Station.
Peachtree Center Station is very close to the hotel; exit and walk roughly 1 minute (a short few-block walk) to The Ritz‑Carlton, Atlanta at 181 Peachtree St NE. Allow extra time for luggage and busy trains during peak hours.

Taxis and rideshares from Hartsfield‑Jackson
Taxis and rideshares (Uber, Lyft) are a common choice and drop you at the hotel's front entrance on Peachtree Street. Drive time varies with traffic but is often around 17–20 minutes.
If you prefer curb-to-door service with luggage, request a taxi or rideshare; drivers know downtown routes but allow extra time for rush hours or event nights.
- Typical drive time: roughly 17–20 minutes (depends on traffic)
- Drop-off: hotel entrance at 181 Peachtree St NE
- Tip: check for surge pricing or event-related traffic on game/concert nights

Quick tips for transit and timing
Allow extra travel time for Atlanta rush hours and for event traffic near Mercedes‑Benz Stadium or State Farm Arena. On major event days expect longer rideshare/taxi wait times and heavier road traffic.
If you prefer public transit, MARTA is straightforward from the airport; if you prioritize door-to-door convenience with luggage, choose a taxi or rideshare.
- Rush hours and event nights increase drive times—plan extra buffer
- MARTA to Peachtree Center is often faster and cheaper during heavy traffic
- Contact the hotel or BookResorts agents (+1 (888) 605-1350) for arrival assistance or questions
| Scenario | Suggested transport |
|---|---|
| Light traffic / no heavy luggage | MARTA from ATL to Peachtree Center |
