Famous for its antebellum architecture, the town effortlessly blends Southern charm with creative energy, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both historical allure and modern-day excitement. Live music is the heartbeat of Athens, with performances happening almost every night. The legendary Georgia Theatre serves as the crown jewel of music venues, attracting both rising talent and established performers. Just a short walk from The Bell Hotel, downtown Athens welcomes visitors with its array of art galleries, shops, and restaurants.
Athens offers delightful discoveries, including Museum Mile—where four historic house museums give visitors a glimpse into the town’s past—along with whimsical sights like The Tree That Owns Itself, a quirky piece of local folklore that adds to Athens' charm. Named one of the best college towns in the country, Athens is home to UGA (University of Georgia) and their beloved Bulldogs, infusing the town with youthful energy and team spirit.
