When it comes to honoring the amazing moms in our lives, nothing says “thank you” like a weekend filled with style, flavor, and memorable experiences. This Mother’s Day, elevate the celebration with a getaway to Downtown Atlanta, and make The American Hotel your home base for a stay that blends mid-century flair, rich history, and modern Southern hospitality.

Located just steps from the city’s best attractions, restaurants, and cultural landmarks, The American Hotel offers the perfect setting for a Mother’s Day weekend full of discovery, relaxation, and joy.

A Stylish Stay in the Heart of the City

Start the celebration by checking into The American Hotel-a downtown icon with a unique retro-modern design and a powerful Civil Rights legacy. As Atlanta’s first racially integrated hotel, the property continues to stand for inclusion, style, and standout service.

Book a spacious suite to give Mom a little extra room to unwind, or surprise her with thoughtful amenities like sparkling wine on arrival or a room with city skyline views. Every corner of the hotel-from the vintage phone booths to the curated art pieces-offers a stylish nod to the past while delivering the comforts of today.

Brunch with Soul at Social 62

No Mother’s Day is complete without a delicious brunch-and Social 62, the hotel’s signature restaurant, offers just that. With a menu rooted in Southern comfort and elevated with modern flair, Social 62 delivers everything from hearty breakfast favorites to soulfully prepared mains and handcrafted cocktails.

Treat Mom to classics like shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles, or opt for lighter fare with fresh, local ingredients. Whether you’re seated indoors surrounded by retro-chic decor or dining al fresco by the pool, the vibe is always warm, welcoming, and relaxed.

Explore Atlanta’s Best Attractions (Just Steps Away)

With a central location on Peachtree Street, The American Hotel makes it easy to turn a simple weekend into a citywide adventure. Walk out the front door and you’re minutes from some of Atlanta’s top spots:

  • Georgia Aquarium – One of the largest aquariums in the world and perfect for a fun family outing.
  • Centennial Olympic Park – A beautiful space to relax, walk, or take photos with Atlanta’s skyline in the background.
  • World of Coca-Cola – A nostalgic trip through pop culture that’s both interactive and fun.
  • National Center for Civil and Human Rights – A powerful, moving experience located right next to the hotel.

If Mom enjoys arts and culture, treat her to a show at the Fox Theatre or explore galleries in Castleberry Hill, just a short drive away.

Relax by the Pool or Toast at the Lounge

After a day of exploring the city, head back to the hotel and unwind by the outdoor pool-a hidden gem that brings retro Palm Springs energy right to Atlanta. Soak up the Georgia sun, sip something refreshing from the bar, and enjoy a little peace in the middle of downtown.

In the evening, return to Social 62 for a laid-back dinner or a toast to Mom with one of their specialty cocktails.

Make It a Mother’s Day to Remember

From its storied history to its unbeatable location, The American Hotel isn’t just a place to stay-it’s part of the experience. Whether you’re celebrating with brunch, exploring Atlanta’s iconic sights, or simply relaxing in style, the hotel offers a blend of charm and comfort that makes Mother’s Day weekend feel extra special.

This year, skip the usual gifts and give her something far more meaningful: time, connection, and a downtown Atlanta escape she’ll never forget.
