Anyone who underestimates Atlanta hasn’t spent time there. This is the unofficial capital of the South, and it’s not only a cosmopolitan city, but an affluent one as well — an impression that’s reinforced by a hotel like the Mandarin Oriental Atlanta, in the upscale northern suburb of Buckhead.
It’s a high-rise tower, but there’s still plenty of residential style about the Mandarin. It starts with attentive valets and enthusiastic staffers, and extends all the way up to the private butler service. And the décor is more elegant than simply opulent: plenty of Atlanta hotels look rich, but this one is positively genteel.
This is a new build, so the rooms have plenty of space, and the bathrooms are oversized, in keeping with the modern tendency. A full-service spa is a necessity, as is plentiful meeting and events space, and two restaurants, one of them the Atlanta outpost of Tom Colicchio’s Craft.
A word about the location: to call Buckhead a suburb is perhaps a bit simplistic. It’s a destination in its own right, and Atlanta is in some ways a city with multiple centers. It’s also a city with quite a lot of traffic — you don’t want to get caught driving repeatedly across town, so choose your lodging accordingly.

What I liked:
When I booked this hotel it was still "Mansion on Peachtree". By the time I stayed there it had become Mandarin Oriental, a brand I am familiar with from many stays in Asia.
High Luxury and top service are what I expected and what we got. No complaints there. They honored the rate that I had paid in advance through Tablet, which turned out to be a good deal seeing as the re-branding definitely upped the cost of staying there.
Two drawbacks. The minor and temporary one is that currently (September 2012) there is a lot of construction in the area of Buckhead surrounding the hotel slowing traffic and making it a little confusing to get to the hotel. Clearly not their fault, but a reality.
Besides that, it should be pointed out the after 11pm, the entrance and lobby of the hotel turns into a party area with many of Atlanta's pro-athletes hanging out. That also lead to the place being lousy with groupies... I honestly didn't mind it, and there were no noise issues for me. But some folks who place a premium on decorum may enjoy this a little less.

What I liked:
The valet and reception staff were very pleasant. The location was convenient and I had an excellent meal in the Craft Bar restuarant.
What the hotel could do better:
There was no tea/coffee maker in the room. When I inquired I was told they were available on request and one would be sent up immediately. When it finally arrived there were no tea bags and the filters and packet of coffee were the very large, commercial variety, not intended for use in the little machine. When I commented the deficiency wasn't corrected; that was their practice and no one seemed to think it was odd. For a hotel that otherwise seems very focused on the comfort of guests this was a notable miss. Perhaps none of the staff drink tea or coffee?
