Stylish Comfort in the Heart of Decatur

Modern and welcoming, the Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory offers a comfortable retreat just outside downtown Atlanta. Nestled in the walkable neighborhood of Decatur, this hotel blends convenience with a relaxed atmosphere, making it a smart choice for travelers headed to Atlanta for a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a concert, you'll appreciate the hotel’s proximity to several popular music venues—many just a short drive or rideshare away. Despite its central location, the hotel is surprisingly quiet at night, perfect for winding down post-show. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late check-ins after a night out, and with public transport and rideshare options nearby, getting to and from your venue is a breeze.

The on-site restaurant is open for meals, and while it doesn’t have 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of dining spots within walking distance in downtown Decatur. The in-house bistro serves breakfast—ideal for those slow mornings after a late night out. While late-night dining isn’t extensive, local eateries often stay open late on weekends.
