This Boutique Hotel Is the Perfect Landing Spot for an Atlanta Weekend
If you’re heading to Atlanta for a staycation or weekend away, finding the right place to stay can be overwhelming. The options are seemingly limitless and, whether you’re heading to the city for a football game, a trip to the aquarium, or to try the tasty restaurants, you’ll want to find the best spot to rest your head.
Bellyard, a boutique hotel in West Midtown, offers the perfect spot for comfortable accommodations, delicious food, and fun nightlife. The hotel is located in the Interlock, a buzzy new area on Atlanta’s west side close to the Georgia Tech campus and Atlantic Station (home to Ikea).
The up-and-coming area was once home to stockyard and rail lines, and the 161-room property pays tribute to that history with its industrial decor complete with iron sculptures, leather, and cowhide accents.
The bright and colorful courtyard makes a great place to work, savor a pastry from the onsite Saint Germain French Bakery, or (as we saw during our visit) take wedding photos.
You don’t need to leave the hotel for delicious food and cocktails, thanks to Drawbar. The restaurant serves a contemporary Southern menu with fried catfish, decadent chicken and waffles, and hot shrimp (save room for the peach hand pie). Drawbar cooks up equally delicious menus for breakfast and lunch, but you’ll want to visit in the evening for an inventive cocktail on the terrace, which offers casual seating and an impressive view of the Atlanta skyline.
Don’t check out before sitting down for brunch, where you’ll find smoked tomato shrimp and cheese grits, peanut butter and jelly french toast, and a chubby grilled cheese, along with more traditional options.
Bellyard has a new Peach Retreat package, giving a nod to its home in the Peach State. The farm-to-city experience gives guests a taste of delicious fruit from Lane Southern Orchards with a peach salad, peach cocktails, and Peach Hand Pie turndown service.
If you’re traveling with your pup, the Bellyard has you covered with a Very Important Pet package, complete with a photo package, dog beer, and a welcome kit.
We found Bellyard to be the perfect spot to get away for a weekend in Atlanta.

2 arrested in deadly drive-by shooting of 7-year-old Atlanta girl, police say
Two suspects in a shooting that left a 7-year-old Atlanta girl dead and her mother injured are now in custody nearly a week after the violence, police say.
The shooting happened around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 24 at a home on the 2200 block of Tiger Flowers Drive NW.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute between one of the victim’s family members and the gunman over the phone. Thirty minutes after the argument, the suspect came back and fired shots into the home, police said.
Officers responding to the scene found a 44-year-old woman and her daughter, identified as 7-year-old Zoe Price, shot. Medics rushed the pair to a local hospital, but Price died from her injuries.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said the department’s homicide unit secured an arrest warrant for 19-year-old Preston Smith two days after the shooting. Smith turned himself in to the Fulton County Jail on March 2.
Schierbaum said officers executed a search warrant on Feb. 27 at a home on McDaniel Street. On that day, 17-year-old Steven Richardson, who police described as an “accomplice,” turned himself in to authorities.
Both men are charged with murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, three counts of aggravated assault, second-degree criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and four counts of third-degree cruelty to children. Richardson is also charged with possession of a Firearm by a Person Under 18.
At a press conference to announce the arrests, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens described Price as a bright and compassionate little girl who was “full of energy and full of joy.”
“Her life was cut short in an act of senseless violence, and that loss is not abstract. It is a chair that is going to be missing at the dinner table each night. It is an empty classroom seat next to her friends,” Dickens said.
The mayor called the arrests “a step forward towards justice” for Price’s family and families across the city.
Dickens said that violence, like the act that took Price’s life, would not be tolerated in Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves News: Top 30 Prospects, Starting Pitching Depth, More
On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any of these three arms this season, they are a part of the “next man up” group for the Braves if injury again impacts the rotation. Each had a solid effort today, a trend that will hopefully continue.
