Where to Stay When Visiting Southern Company (Atlanta)
Southern Company's headquarters is in downtown Atlanta, near Centennial Park. Pick the right district — and know whether you'll need a car. In Atlanta, MARTA reaches some campuses and not others.
Southern Company is one of the largest U.S. electric utilities, headquartered at 30 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30308. That's downtown Atlanta — the Centennial Olympic Park District, where Georgia-Pacific and Southern Company tower over the aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, and the stadiums, all a few blocks from MARTA.
“Southern Company runs much of the Southeast's grid from downtown Atlanta. Stay in the Centennial Park District and take MARTA; no car required.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
