Where to stay for an overnight connection at ATL International Terminal

The short answer: SpringHill Suites says the SkyTrain stops right outside, which makes the trip back to the terminal the simplest. Tru is cheaper, and the AC Hotel is quieter. From the International Terminal, take the free bus to the Domestic Terminal first. Guests report 10 to 15 minutes, not confirmed on ATL's pages.

The stays, and why

Our pick

SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway

SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway, a white and grey building with a curved entrance canopy at dusk
Room, typical
$214–$366
Transfer
$0Free bus and SkyTrain
Typical total
$214–$366
Who it suits
A family or a connection where you want space and the shortest walk from the SkyTrain.
Why we would choose it
Booking.com says the SkyTrain stops outside, and the suites have room to spread out.
The compromise
Check-out is 11:00, an hour earlier than the Marriott and Renaissance, and it has less to offer than the full-service hotels. From the International Terminal you add the terminal bus.
Worth paying more?
Yes for a family. You pay for the suite and the short walk, not for a restaurant.

Why we would choose it
It is the cheapest hotel on the SkyTrain line and it has the highest guest score of the nine.
The compromise
It is a no-frills hotel, and the walk to the SkyTrain is longer than at SpringHill Suites. From the International Terminal you add the terminal bus.
Worth paying more?
Yes if you want to spend less and accept a small trade-off.

Consider it if the first two are full or too dear.
