  • Gay Atlanta – the Best Gay Hotels, Bars, Clubs & More Atlanta, the Georgia State Capital, Is Often Considered the Unofficial Gay Capital of the Southern USA
    Gay Atlanta – the best gay hotels, bars, clubs & more Atlanta, the Georgia state capital, is often considered the unofficial gay capital of the southern USA. Although the south may not have an LGBT-friendly reputation, this bustling metropolis is an open, friendly and welcoming destination for all travelers. Here you’ll find a melting pot of cultures and a unique mix of southern charm with all the conveniences of big city living. Atlanta is also a historically significant location due to its Important role during the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, it’s known for world-class museums, shopping, outdoor spaces, southern cuisine and nightlife as well as thriving neighborhoods. General ps The hot and humid summer weather between June and August gives merit to the nickname, Hotlanta. This is also when room rates are their highest. The best time to visit is from March to May when you’ll enjoy milder weather to spend time outside and take advantage of all the outdoor events and activities. To save a few dollars, try visiting in December, January or February when the city is less crowded and room prices drop due to the cooler weather. When planning your visit, also consider the Atlantic hurricane season that lasts from summer through fall and could interrupt your trip. When booking accommodations, keep in mind that Midtown is the center of gay life in Atlanta, although LGBT-friendly spots can be found throughout the city and suburbs. Other areas like Downtown, Westside, Ansley Mall/Cheshire Bridge, Buckhead and Grant Park and Cabbagetown all boast LGBT shops, restaurants and venues.

This report summarizes our approach to the assignment as well as our findings and conclusions. Study Objectives PKF Hospitality Research, LLC (PKF-HR) was engaged to recommend the scope of Hotel (in terms of size, services, amenities and overall positioning) that would be appropriate for the subject site; and, assuming that the facility is developed and opened in 2017, to estimate the potential levels of market and financial8-19-2013 support for the Project. Methodology at We approached the assignment in two phases. Phase One: Comparable Market Data Analysis 1. We interviewed key personnel at the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (“GWCCA”), the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau (“ACVB”), and the Atlanta Falcons; reviewedDraft studies and data provided, and interviewed key clients of the GWCC to determine the current and medium term situation with regards to conventions and lodging needs in Downtown Atlanta. 2. We analyzed the Downtown lodging market, the dynamics of the GWCC, focus group data and client interview data and prepared a SWOT analysis for the Project. 3. We reviewed and analyzed the performance of the Downtown Atlanta Market as well as comparable convention cities for periods before and after a new convention- oriented hotel and/or a new or expanded meetings/events venue opened, as it PKF Hospitality Research, LLC | 3475 Lenox Road, Suite 720 | Atlanta, Georgia 30326 TEL: (404) 842-1150 | FAX: (404) 842-1165 | www.pkfc.com Mr.
