Just three blocks from the University of Georgia campus, Foundry Park Inn & Spa blends Southern colonial-style architecture with contemporary amenities. Surrounded by 19th-century cobblestoned sidewalks, the two-story inn contains 119 guest rooms, most decorated with plantation shutters, brass headboards, and all-white down duvets. The suites are individually designed based on themes like the Far East (which includes Asian-inspired artwork and lacquered furniture). The property also has a full-service spa and two restaurants: the Hoyt House, which serves traditional Southern fare, and the Melting Point, which doubles as a popular music venue hosting indie, rock, and jazz bands.
Room to Book:
For a quiet stay, request an upstairs room on the interior corridor, away from the noisy parking lot.
Insider Tip:
The Melting Point fills up quickly on concert nights; if you can't snag a dinner table, take the shuttle downtown to the Last Resort Grill (and don't miss the fried green tomatoes).
