Where to Stay When Visiting Intercontinental Exchange (Atlanta)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Intercontinental Exchange's headquarters is in northwest Atlanta, off I-285. Pick the right district — and know whether you'll need a car. In Atlanta, MARTA reaches some campuses and not others.

Direct answer: Visiting Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)'s Atlanta HQ (5660 New Northside Dr NW): stay in the the Cumberland / Galleria area area near the office. Stay in the Cumberland / Galleria area near Intercontinental Exchange — the hotels here sit minutes from the campus off I-285. Because MARTA's train doesn't reach Cumberland, staying right in the district (rather than downtown) keeps your commute short. Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) is about 25–30 minutes south via I-75. Note the catch: Cumberland is one of the major Atlanta office districts that MARTA's train does not reach — so you'll want a car or rideshare here, unlike downtown or Midtown.

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is the operator of global exchanges and the New York Stock Exchange, headquartered at 5660 New Northside Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30328. That's the Cumberland / Galleria district in Vinings, northwest of the city off I-75 and I-285 — home to Home Depot and Genuine Parts, near Truist Park, with its own cluster of hotels around the Galleria.
