Best for food-focused stays, social rooftop hours, and direct access to Phipps Plaza shopping.

Best for travelers who want traditional five-star service, a larger historic property with a full-service spa, and formal dining.
When Nobu Hotel Atlanta wins: choose Nobu if you want a contemporary, design-forward stay with Nobu Restaurant on-site, a guest-only rooftop saltwater pool and easy access to Phipps Plaza shopping and Buckhead nightlife.
When The St. Regis Atlanta wins: pick The St. Regis if you value classic luxury service, a larger set of meeting and event rooms, a full-service spa and a hotel that reads as a Buckhead institution.
Bottom line: both are five-star Buckhead options in different registers — Nobu skews modern and restaurant/social-first, while The St. Regis leans formal, service-oriented and traditionally luxurious. Pick based on whether you prioritize rooftop social time and contemporary dining (Nobu) or classic St. Regis service and spa-focused relaxation (St. Regis).
