The Peachtree Center complex (“The Hub”) connects to the hotel and has a dense cluster of quick options — handy between sessions. There’s a Chick-fil-A, Willy’s, Caribou Coffee, Firehouse Subs, Gus’s Fried Chicken, Aviva by Kameel (Mediterranean), and Hsu’s (Chinese). A Green Market runs Thursdays at lunch. For a proper sit-down, Peachtree Street has plenty within a few blocks:
