Planning an Atlanta Meeting? Here’s What You Should Know About Dunwoody

Located in the northern part of Metro Atlanta, Dunwoody offers meeting planners the convenience of Atlanta with a destination experience that is easy to navigate, welcoming, and filled with opportunities to make attendees feel at home.

One of Dunwoody’s biggest advantages is its location.

Dunwoody is approximately 10–15 minutes from many of Atlanta’s major business and entertainment districts, giving groups easy access to the city while providing a more relaxed environment for meetings and overnight stays.

For planners, that means you can give attendees access to Atlanta without necessarily placing them in the middle of downtown traffic, crowds, and congestion.

The result? More convenience for your attendees and more flexibility for your event.

Transportation is one of the most important considerations when selecting a meeting destination.

Dunwoody is served by MARTA, giving attendees access to the region's public transportation network and connections throughout Metro Atlanta.

For groups arriving by air, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is accessible from Dunwoody, while major roadways, including I-285 and GA 400, make it easy for attendees traveling by car to reach the destination.

That accessibility also makes Dunwoody an attractive headquarters location for groups with attendees coming from different parts of the region.

Another advantage of planning your meeting in Dunwoody is the variety of hotel options available throughout the destination.

From full-service properties to select-service hotels, Dunwoody offers accommodations that can fit different meeting sizes, budgets, and program needs.

Hotels in the destination include options such as:

• Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia
• Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center
• Le Méridien Atlanta Perimeter
• Embassy Suites by Hilton Atlanta Perimeter Center
• AC Hotel Atlanta Perimeter
• Hyatt Place Atlanta/Perimeter Center
• Residence Inn Atlanta Perimeter Center/Dunwoody
• Hampton Inn & Suites Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody
• Sonesta ES Suites Atlanta Perimeter Center
• Element Atlanta Perimeter Center

Having multiple hotels within the destination also creates opportunities for planners who need additional room blocks or want to accommodate different attendee preferences.

Today's attendees expect more than a conference room and a hotel room.

They want experiences.

Dunwoody gives planners plenty of opportunities to add memorable moments before, during, and after the meeting. Attendees can explore local restaurants, enjoy green spaces, experience the arts, shop, or participate in group activities.

Consider adding an evening at a local restaurant, a team-building activity, a casual networking event, or an outdoor experience to your agenda.

Places such as Brook Run Park, the Dunwoody Nature Center, Spruill Center for the Arts, and Treetop Quest provide opportunities to get attendees outside the traditional meeting environment.

Great meetings often come with great meals.

Dunwoody offers a wide variety of restaurants, from casual dining to upscale experiences, giving planners plenty of choices for group meals, networking dinners, receptions, and attendee outings.

A strong local dining experience can also help transform a standard business trip into a memorable destination experience.

And because many restaurants and entertainment options are conveniently located near the hotels, planners can build dining into their program without creating unnecessary transportation challenges.

Need something for attendees to do during free time?

Dunwoody has plenty of options.

Perimeter Mall, one of Georgia's largest shopping destinations, provides shopping, dining, and entertainment options just minutes from many Dunwoody hotels.

The surrounding Perimeter business district also offers a variety of restaurants, retail, entertainment, and services, making it easy for attendees to enjoy their downtime without traveling far from the meeting.

One of the most important questions a meeting planner should ask is:

"What will my attendees remember about this destination?"

Dunwoody provides an answer that goes beyond the traditional Atlanta meeting experience.

Attendees can experience a destination that combines:

• Convenient access to Atlanta
• Walkable and accessible entertainment and dining options
• Green spaces and outdoor activities
• Local arts and culture
• Shopping and retail
• Diverse hotel accommodations
• Southern hospitality with a modern, urban feel

It's a destination that allows planners to create a meeting experience that feels less like simply "booking Atlanta" and more like creating an experience specifically for their attendees.
